OBSERVATIONS

The Guest speakers are good, they really do their part. They deliver their
thoughts and ideas very well. However, the tension, dread and nervousness seen
when they are speaking. But that is not a barrier that the student will not listen to
their speech. I learned a lot from their discussion from hook up culture down to
anxiety.

The speaker in hookup culture really knows what their topic is, when the
students asked her questions she really knew how to answer it. She is confident, her
voice was loud and clear and never felt nervous and I can say that she will be an
effective speaker in the future. I wonder why some people engaged themselves in
hookup culture, what are the things that they might get? Are they not scared of HIV?
or other possible things that might happen to them.

We learned a lot of lesson from the seminar like how to fight anxiety, how to
treat them and how to handle suicidal person. Maybe many of us are stressed,
depressed, tired and have a lot of problems. But we need to remember that better
days are ahead, not all the seasons of our life are problems. There are brighter days
after the rainfall.

Furthermore, when they conducted the seminar, they really know what they
are going to do. They managed the audience very well, and delivered their snacks
on time. They really think about their audience and don't let them starve, they prefer
food on time with knowledge that comes from the speaker.

In addition, I discern that the speakers really do their job and they overreach
my expectations of them. They showed us their talents, skill and potential. They
shared their knowledge with us in order for us to be aware of what happened in our
society nowadays.

SPECULATION

These are some factors that may affect your leaving as a person. Hook up
culture, suicide, digital and non digital bullying, anxiety, internet addiction and body
image self-esteem. Some people involve themselves into these kinds of activities
without thinking about the possible outcome of their actions. Maybe these are the
ways that they think they can release their emotions. Even though it can hurt others,
it can hurt themselves, and it can lead up to death.

Upon hearing the statement of the guest speaker about hookup culture I
discerned that it was all about one night stand without including emotional intimacy
and commitment. I don't understand why other people engaged themselves into that
situation when they were already aware that it was wrong in the sight of GOD.
However, they treat that as normal because they believe that it is already acceptable
in the society and even they are discriminated against by many because of their
actions. Some involved themselves because of money just to buy their wants and
needs. As long as they don't have anyone to step on, they are satisfied in what they
do.

Anxiety and Suicide are somehow related, since anxiety is one of the causes
of suicide. Anxiety disorder is a state in which a person experiences frequent stress,
dread, and other unpleasant emotions. The things that you need to apply in order to
avoid anxiety are reading books, building self-confidence, talking to others, and most
especially praying and seeking guidance from the Lord. However, Suicide is the
intentional act of bringing about one's own death. Maybe they commit suicide
because they are hopeless or their mind filled with anger, pain, family problem and
depression.

Helping your parents with your chores is the most accurate thing to do than to
go to the computer shop and drop 5 pesos every hour and stay there the whole day.
We need to take care of our bodies Since we don't have enough money to supply
when we are Unhealthy. To the youth out there, take care of yourself, eat regular
meals and sleep at night. Because if we continually engage ourselves on the
internet, without purpose there's a big possibility that our mental health will be
affected. Therefore, we need to be aware of the possible outcome of our actions in
order to distance ourselves from the things that make us suffer in the future.
"Prevention is better than cure".

Why do some people have fun bullying their friends, classmates, relatives and
so on. They don't think about the feelings of that person, as long as they have fun
they are happy. Upon hearing the message of the speaker last week about digital
and non-digital Bullying, I realized that our society has become worse because of the
high technology they use to bully people by posting on social media for them to be
threatened, afraid and anxious. Not just on social media but also in school, I
remember One time I was bullied by my classmates because of my physical
appearance and I've hurt a lot. After that I questioned myself why other people are
concerned about my physical appearance when they don't contribute to my life even
a centavo. But as a kind person I humbled myself and became better.

SELF-AWARENESS

As young people we need to be aware of what is happening in our

surroundings, in order for us to distance ourselves from the bad things that can
possibly destroy us. We need to be vigilant in choosing friends because sometimes
we trust people easily without knowing their intentions. Maybe, they choose you as a
friend because you have a brilliant mind and they might think you can help them in
their academics.

Since I already heard the speech of our speaker, I am now aware what are
the things that I will do when anxiety hits me. Reading books, talking to your friends
and engaging yourself in the things that make you busy are the right things to do
when you have anxiety. Sharing your thoughts is the most beneficial for you if you
take their suggestions and advice.

I realized that there's a lot of problems that we may encounter in life, but the
best thing is to not give up and continue on what We've started. We need to fight and
keep moving, distance from the possible things that might destroy you. Move closer
to the things that can help you and to the people who think positively because it will
help you to grow more.

Now that we are aware about the things that can destroy our lives there are
some strategies that will be used to avoid engaging ourselves in situations like that.
Read Bible, Books, Exercise, fellowship with your friends, open your heart and avoid
over thinking. It can help you to live peacefully, enjoy the life that GOD was given to
you and let him manage your heart for you to be free.

In addition, we need to think positively like don't believe the things that other
people say to you that makes you down. Always believe in yourself, you know more
yourself than they know you. Don't let other people down you, always remember we
are unique and special. Especially, in the sight of GOD.

INTEGRATION

As an individual we have a lot of circumstances that we may encounter in our

way but we need to remember that whatever our situation is there's always a better
future awaits us. Just wait for the right time flowers bloom in their season, so that
wait for the right time it will always shine if it's your time. Don't compare yourself to
the people who surround you. It might discourage you and It's like you want to fight
but because of the discouragement you gave up and down yourself.

As I have learned from the speaker about Body Image and self-esteem, we
need to be more confident and comfortable with our body because if we have
confidence, we can manage our body well. Sometimes because of the judgment of
other people in our body we are discouraged and we neglect to dress up well and let
other people judge our physical appearance. Don't let people judge you by looking at
you physically, let them know you heartily in order to vanquish their opinions about
you. Because being so thin and fat is not a problem, they always see the outside
beauty and never look inside uniqueness.

But it doesn't mean that being judged and bullied by others is a downfall.
Sometimes you can use this as a vitamin, to take it all and make it your motivation in
life. Having a good and kind personality is better than judgmental and jealous
characteristics.

Because if you take this as negative it will cause your downfall, and you only
prove them that they are right. Don't let them know about your weaknesses, they will
use that as a bullet to hunt you. And if you defend yourself, they will act like they are
the victims that's why be vigilant all the time.

Therefore, don't let anyone ruin your image, to bully you or judge you. Fight
them and ask guidance from the LORD to conquer all your problems because
according to the book of Romans 8:31 If GOD is for us, Who can be Against Us.
Remember this motto " keep on fighting because better days are ahead".
CRITIQUE

The presentations of our Guest speakers are very good and informative.
However, the nervousness seen by their actions. Their speeches are well delivered
and the snacks were very nice. I would like to say thank you for that. Because even
in the little time they manage their audience we can't avoid that there are some
audiences that have Impish personalities and there's no wrong with that if that
person was listening.

There was one group who conducted a seminar which was time consuming.
Instead of a one-hour presentation it takes 1 hour and 45 minutes. Which is definitely
wrong because the 2nd presenter was already dressed up and prepared their foods
but it turns out useless that night because of the time consuming of that group. And
the comment that I would like to say is next time prepare in advance and don't let
your audience wait for you, because it may cause that your audience will go home
even though the program didn't end yet.

There is also one group that conducts their seminar who are prepared ahead
of time, they use different materials in order to deliver their speech clearly. And the
group was good in time management because they managed their audience very
well and fed their audience on time and they didn't let their audience wait. That group
was very good for me and all I can say is keep it up and continue in managing your
time because that is the most hard and important thing to do, time management.

Furthermore, there is also one group that is listless. And that was not good
because the audience will fall asleep. They need to be more energetic to persuade
the audience. They need to louder their voice in order to be heard in the back, and
put a smile on their face.

Thus, as a speaker we need to be more comfortable and presentable. And

keep in mind that you need to persuade your audience for them to be alive also.
Because if the speaker is listless, what will happen to the audience? That's why as a
speaker you must be in a good mood when you speak in order to attract your
audience.
