Processing Questions:

1. What do you notice on your answers?

Answer: I noticed that some of my answers are the same since I’m not really good comforting people and I
always try to put my shoes into them and also respect their decisions.

2. Which of the situations is the most difficult to handle or manage? Explain.

Answer: The most difficult one is “NO.2” since I can’t imagine the pain s/he’s dealing and that pain is
incomparable.

3. What type of support or help is the easiest to provide? Explain.

Answer: In my opinion, being there and listening to their problems is one of the easiest types of help I can
give to them. Since just being there for them and letting them know your presence and support will help
them feel that they’re not alone in their challenges.

4. What have you realized after doing this activity?

Answer: I realized that I can help someone with some simple advices and also listening to their problems
and make them feel that they’re not alone will have a great impact to them. As long as you respect their
decisions and boundaries.

What I have learned

How should we celebrate our individual differences?

Everyone in this world is the product of a different education and experience. So, it's no longer a surprise
when everyone has unique differences. There are many ways to celebrate our individual differences.

First, we can invite our friends or fellow students to share each other's backgrounds. Be it culture, family, or
simply the likes and dislikes of the other. Second, we can also celebrate our individual differences by accepting
our own differences. Once we accept our own differences, we can free ourselves from all our insecurities, and
being free from insecurities is a festival.
Another great way to celebrate our differences is to invite families in to share. Encourage them to share the
ways they celebrate an occasion or their special hobbies, interests, music. Learning about families within the
group creates a sense of unity and understanding. Lastly, we can celebrate our individual differences by
accepting other people's differences. It is not enough that we just accept our own individual differences. It is
also very important that we accept other people's differences.
