Instruction: Explain your understanding by writing your thoughts on the given

statement. Write your answer in the space provided. Please avoid erasure and
write legibly.

“He who greatly excels in beauty, strength, birth or wealth,

or on the other hand who is very poor, or very weak, or very
much disgraced finds it difficult to follow reason.” – Aristotle,
Politics

Based on my own understanding and interpretation, the

statement above by Aristotle means that those people who have too much in life such as, beauty,
wealth, strength, and power are the same people who have a poor ability in coping or following
rules and authority. This people has the mindset that they are above from others, they use to
think that they can and they will get what they want even if it means that they will violate rules
and authorities believing that they have the ability to pass through it because they have the
connection and power. Experiencing so much luxuries could sometimes brought negative
impacts to oneself and others, in result one would become boastful and forget how to be human,
to respect others, and forget that there are rules or authority that needs to be followed.

On the other hand, those people who have less in life are the ones
who are considered to be a good follower and has the ability to admit authority, maybe because
they already understand on what really matters in life, and it is not wealth or power, it is on
how you treat others.

Who am I?

especially to those people that she is comfortable with. During her elementary days, when she was
in her 6th grade she has become the SSG president and has given the leadership award. As a child,
she was fun of writing and is more on academics. A teacher from elementary saw that potential in
her and so she trained her. She graduated elementary at Maslog Elementary School as salutatorian.

writing. So, she use to join writing competitions and make it to Division level. She graduated high
school at San Isidro National High School as a student with honors. As she went to senior high school

found a new hobby. Her interest shifted into doing arts like painting. This has become her way of
releasing her emotions and stress. Now, she is still in the process of learning and in enhancing her
skills in painting.

She is now a first year college student taking up Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Social
