SELF-AWARENESS

Who exactly am I..? I am a girl, who is living in this world with purpose. I may not be perfect but I
can say that I have these qualities that I can show you all and prove that I am also an independent
woman. I used to do things by my own, also do things by myself without depending with others. I am
a good person, respectful for those who respects me also. I can say that most of the time I am strong
but there are times I can be weak too just like you all. Nothing so special about me I'm just a human
who performs my purpose in this world. My strengths are my determinations, eagerness to learn
new things, and having a communication skill. This makes me up as a whole person it helps me to be
strong at all times that I can manage myself, sustain my needs in terms of curiosities, and can be able
to interact with someone without hesitating, without being shy because when you learn to interact
with someone it can be easy for you to share thoughts and receive information with others. On the
other side I can say that my weaknesses is when there are times that I am tempting to do some
things that requires hard responsibilities, I am always doubting myself, looking at the negative side.
Which is I didn't like about myself but, I am working towards it.

As a student my goals and aspirations in life is to graduate in college and become a professional
teacher, to perform my job with love and determination. Teach the learners not just the lessons at
school but also to be a good citizen. I also want to enjoy my life to the fullest, wherein I didn't worry
about any of the expenses and help people who has been struggling. For me, I can achieve or
maintain my self-esteem by valuing, loving, and respecting myself. Believing my capabilities just like
learning, achieving things and contribute to the society or the world. It means that I believe and
respect my ideas, feelings and opinions in life. encompassing to think about and value in myself and
how I relate to others. And lastly, I won't let myself to lower my self esteem by abusing myself by not
loving and respecting it.

Last but not the least, Can I be a self-actualized person? My answer would be yes, everyone can
be the best version of themselves. For me, I can be self-actualized by living independently. Become a
fully functioning person. Continued freshness of appreciation As Maslow said in “Motivation and
Personality," "Self-actualizing people have the wonderful capacity to appreciate again and again,
freshly and naively, the basic goods of life, with awe, pleasure, wonder and even ecstasy, however
stale these experiences may have become to others." Another thing is acceptance this means is
accepting my desires without feeling the need to apologize or feel shame. It's about accepting myself
completely for who I am. Also, by knowing my purpose this simply means that I have a purpose in life
and feel responsible so fulfilled life as it is for anyone who often feels new horizons opening up to
them, who goes beyond selfishness in situations, and who feels one with the other organisms on
Earth.
