MODULE # 3: ASSIGNMENT
___________________________________________________________________________
REACTION PAPER: Imagine a situation in your everyday life wherein people judge
and perceive you differently from what you expect. A time where you confidently
dressed up , groomed and wear your favorite clothing but people seem to dislike it.
How does this kind of situation affect you ? How are you going to cope with it.

In everyday life, we often encounter situations where our choices, like

dressing up in our favorite attire, result in unexpected judgments. When our self-
expression doesn't align with others' expectations, it can be disheartening.
Initially, this may dent confidence, leaving us feeling self-conscious. However,
these moments provide an opportunity for personal growth. Coping involves
recognizing that individuality is valuable, even if opinions differ. We can use these
experiences as a chance to strengthen our self-assurance and resilience.
Ultimately, understanding that self-expression is a form of empowerment
allows us to stay true to ourselves, navigate judgment with grace, and embrace the
diversity of perspectives around us.
