2. Who is your inspiration in life

My inspiration in life is my family, I am very thankful that my mother brought me in

this world. Growing up with my mother always showed how things work in life despite that
I have no father. One of the hardest things that I had to accept was that I could not have
everything I wanted. There were times when my mother spoiled me but I was always
taught to be thankful of the day things that I had and to not be selfish, I have two siblings
and now I am married and I have 1 kid. I don't know what I would do without my family.
My family is very inspiring to me because they show me all aspects on how I should live my
life through their experience and work ethic. My mother's past experience also teach me
how to live my life the best way possible. When my siblings and I were little, my mother
were go to the other country to work to give us the life we deserved. She sacrifice herself
far away from us to sustain our needs and to survive everyday live's. My mother was never
complain about working, just as long as she could afford to keep a roof over our head and
food on the table, she was happy. As my siblings and I got older, my mother is still working
abroad until now when I got married, she is still working there to sustain the needs of my
siblings and also she help me sometimes with my needs. My family has taught me the
importance of service, education, and of tenacity in the face of adversity. My mother stern
beliefs of never taking life for granted and to always take the step forward to establish
yourself as a responsible individual created a work ethic that has solidified my character.
When I imagine the hardship, my mother create the future where my siblings and I have
the opportunity the opportunity to pursue. I know that if I am every in a tough situation or I
don't know how to handle a problem, I can always come to my family for advice to help me
figure out what to do. I also know that my siblings will always be there for me if I ever need
someone to talk to. My family always has my back in the toughest of times and I am beyond
grateful for that. This makes me feel as if I never have to handle a tough situation alone. I
am also very thankful that I have good friends that I can confide in and talk about anything.
That is what this life is all about. You sacrifice for those you love. That is what my mother
did. She brought my siblings and I to this land of opportunity and even though they used
their chance on us, their chance to follow their dreams, I will follow mine for them. People
always ask me how I do so well in school, how I have the energy to do all the homework,
study for the test, do extra curricular activities and never give up. Now that I am also a
mother, I understand the hard work of my mother, in order to make ends meet. Through
my experience, I have become a resilient individual. I have gained many experiences that I
have taught me the qualifier of being determined and unafraid. When I reflect on myself
about my journey to a good education, I focus on the sacrifices of my mother.

My family means a lot to me. Without my family I would not be the person that I am
today. They have always been there for me. My family has always done the best they can for
me and have given me everything that I have ever wanted or needed. My mother, siblings,
husband and especially my daughter have always made me smile even when I didn't want
to. They have always supported me through every decision that I have ever made. My
family has always wanted the best for me. I might not get along with everyone in my family,
but I would not trade them for anyone else. My family means the world to me.
Family means having someone to love you unconditionally despite of your
shortcomings. Family is loving and supporting one another even when it's not easy to do so.
It's being the best person you could be so that you may inspire your love ones. Family is a
source of strength. It teaches us what relationship mean. They help us create meaningful
relationship in the outside world. The love we inherit from our families, we pass on our
independent relationships. Moreover, families teach us better communication.

When I am at peace, I feel calm, safe and relaxed. Even if there is stress, I am protected
from it by the sense of security and safety that brings about stillness. Regardless of the
challenges that I'm facing, I still have an outlook on life that allows you to see opportunity
and abundance around me. Feeling at peace creates stability within my life in areas like
relationships, workbooks, family and friendships. It adds a level of stability to our lives that
so many of us need. Some might think that feeling peaceful means that there is nothing
wrong in your life. There are no problems, there are no struggles to face. But that's almost
impossible! Everyone has some kind of challenge they have to face. When you feel peaceful,
you accept the challenges and face them with a newfound resilience.

My favorite animal is our dog named buddy, he is kind to our family and he is not an

is delicious and it is true.

“QUOTE OF THE DAY”

“just believe in yourself. Even if you don’t pretend that you do and at some point, you will”
REFLECTION:
My reflection about the quiz is I think that the question is quite easy but although it is easy,
I still could not answer the question very well. The first part of the quiz is all covered from
the lecture note while the second part of the question is all from the reading material. But I
think that I could not answer it well. This is not because of I did not well prepared or I did
not attend the lecture. It is just I could not remember the answer for the questions. I think
the answer that I give is not good enough but I tried to answer the question so that I will
get mark for my quiz.

someone else to achieve or attain or produce something.

REFLECTION:
 I believe that the presence of teamwork increases the possibilities and efficiency in
work. It also provides better performance which leads to higher outcomes also the weak
performance of one member will be compensated by others performances.
