My Personal Experiences

Id: Meeting Basic Needs

It was our family day. And Im still young when this happened. We went to Jollibee and have our lunch. I, my younger sister and baby brother ordered the same meal and its our favorite fried chicken. The waiter served the first fried chicken and the other will serve later. Without a glimpse, I eat the chicken because Im hungry and tired of waiting and didnt think anything. What I want on that moment was I need to eat and thats makes me feel happy. Then my younger brother cried, craving for chicken. My mother told me to give the chicken to my brother to stop him from crying but I dont want. I am hungry too and its not enough for me. Then my mother said to me that Im the eldest and I should not be selfish because she will order me a lot of fried chicken if I behave. My mother and I went to her friend near in our house. Her friend has a small store of candies. Since they talk long, I get bored and saw the candy inside the box. I eat the candy and I enjoy it then my mother saw me. Since I already open the candy wrapped, my mother pay for the price of that candy bar. Another experienced was when me and my sister where going to school. Since our school was far from our home and its very hot, around 12:30 pm, I drink all the water in our bottle brought without saying to my sister and without thinking that she was thirsty too. This experienced makes me realized of being self-centered and desires for everything I want when not given, I cried and feel sad.

Ego: Dealing with Reality

My mother ordered me to buy some groceries after our class in Nueva Ecija High School. She gave me P500.00 to buy all groceries needed. When I am on the store, I saw a cute t-shirt and I want to buy it but I realized that buying it will makes the fund short and therefore, my mother will get mad on me if I priority that t-shirt over the said groceries. So, I did not buy and buy all the groceries needed. I saw my sisters necklace. It was three colored and it was beautiful. It was a gift from her when she graduated as valedictorian when she was high school. I want to wear but then, I think that even though were sister, I still need to ask permission because its her personal belongings and she will get mad at me. Then my sister, after I ask permission, decided to give it to me since she said she receives many necklaces and she cannot wear it all. Dr. Cecile Chavez, our beloved representative of Butil Party list treat us, our scholars in a restaurant in the Cabanatuan after having our tree planting activity. That activity was so tiredly and I am hungry and thirsty too. That moment, I want to say to my friend that I want to eat and she will surely give her food to me. But I realized that soon, the waiter will coming bringing my

ordered food so I must wait a little. Besides, I think then that its happier to eat together so I wait for the food to serve.

Superego: Adding Morals

When I was walking near in our classroom in Jaica building in NEHS, I saw a wallet and no one was there. I open the wallet and I saw the picture of the person owned that wallet. I cant remember how much money inside of it because what matter for me then was how can I return it to the owner as soon as possible because I know the feeling of losing my own wallet and the right way was to return it so that the student whom dropped it will find it soon and will not face problem of having no money. I decided to go to our principals office give the wallet and also, I say it to our guard so that in case that someone was looking for her wallet, the guard already know and will make it easy to return that wallet. It happens during our training in chess here at CLSU. Me and my teammates were finished eating and return to our proper training. Then its already 2:00 pm when I recall that the cashiers didnt ask me to pay for the foods I eat and ask if my teammates paid my meal. I decided to come back and give my payment to the cashier. Honesty is the best policy and I know that that their source of living. When I was on the mall I saw a child, around 4 to 5 years old alone and crying. No one sees him since hes small and everyone was busy shopping. I walked near to him and hold his hand asking where is his mom. Then I decided to find the security guard to report it but suddenly I saw a mother with an expression of something was missing then I think it was his mom coming searching for him. Then it was a happy experience and his mom saying thanks for a simple concern I showed. Through these experiences, I learned that the id, ego and superego work together in creating a behavior. The id creates the demands, the ego adds the needs of reality with the superego adds morality to the action which is taken
