Reflection
Have I outgrown my childish perspective? Have I learned to see things from the perspective of
others? Am I ready and willing to accept others as they are and start a dialogue with them? Have I
been so self- centered, egoistic and selfish? What actions prove that I am such. What must I begin to
do now to improve myself. Am I ready to ask others’ opinion and conduct self- introspection? Sing
the Song Who Am I popularized by Gary Valenciano. Sing it. Then reflect and write your answer to
every line asking Who am I? 25 |

Yes because I have now the responsibility in the different aspects of my life. I’m participating in
class, have good study habits, and join an extracurricular activity. If i think I have enough time, I’m
trying to picking up a part-time job. I learned to see things from the perspective of others because
taking different perspective can help others respond to challenges rationally and calmly and make
responsible decisions. Maybe I’m read now and willing to accept others because using them will help
me relate to the person and be more empathetic. When I practice accepting others, I will be able to
make it a habit. I am not self centered, egoistic and selfish because that is not good in me because
selfish person wants everything for themselves for the needs of others. I begin in improving myself in
setting goal for myself, learn new skills and activity, and have compassion to myself and others.
