Activity: MY PERSONAL TIMELINE

A personal timeline portrays the influential events and happenings of a person’s life so
that he can understand where he has gone wrong and right in the past. It helps to plan the future
in a better constructive way.
Using a bond paper, write the major events in your life and the significant people in your
life. You may add your age, specific dates and places. You may draw the timeline horizontally,
vertically, diagonally or even using ups and down depending on your imagination. Be creative in
your representations. You may also use symbols, figures and drawings. Think of a title for your
personal timeline.
You may use crayons or art materials depending on the available resources
or just a simple paper and pen may be fine. You can also go for the personal timeline website
templatesamples available online. The link is https://www.template.net/business/timeline-

Portfolio Output: Mindfulness with Reflection

Analyze each case on How Mindful Am I? Answer the following questions:
1. Has someone ever asked you a question that you really didn't want to answer? How did
you respond?
Answer. There might be times that even thought you feel like answering things everyone
asks you about, you still refrain from it. Being asked questions by other people, makes you
feel as if yoy have a little power over him/her. You might feel as if very qualified for that
person asks you and not others. There was a time that I too didn't feel answering, but it
was because I feel like even though I answer him/her he wouldn't trust my answer. Aside
from that person who asked me, I too feel unsatisfied.
2. Have you ever gotten (or given) a “compliment” that really wasn’t a compliment? How
did you feel afterwards?
Answer. Yes, a compliment that they are saying but their actions look the opposite of it... I
felt hurt, hatred, bit of anger, because it seems like they are just fake people around me they
are like plastics. But when it's from my friends I'll just accept whatever they say to me and
laugh it out loud afterall I know that they are real and just joking.
3. Did you ever do something to be helpful that turned out badly? What happened? What do
you wish had happened?
Answer. I once helped my friend get back on his feet after discovering he failed in our subj. I
tried helping him by being there for him. I introduced him to my cheerful best friend and they
immediately became driends. Now they always hang out without me, when I call them to
hang out they always say they are busy. Now as bad as I wish it, I wish that I never introduced
them to each other because now my only two friends are hanging out with each other
without me.
4. Have you ever caught someone cheating (either on a test or on a boyfriend/girlfriend)?
Did you say anything? Why or why not?
Answer. Yes, I caught someone cheating on a test before. I think a lot of students may
experienced cheating during an exam. I'm not saying that it's something that a student should
experience because this is really a bad habit. Anyways, I never had the chance yo tell on this
person because one of the professors caught her so he gave her a disciplinary action and re-
take a special exam instead. Good thing I haven't witnessed a friend or someone cheating on
her boyfriend/girlfriend. But if that happens, I know it's not that easy to do, then I have to be
honest to my friend to not waste his/her time to someone who's not worthy.
5. Have you ever gotten in trouble because someone caught you cheating (or thought you
were cheating)? What happened? What do you wish had happened?
Answer. I've gotten into a trouble because some one thought that I am cheating on exam.
The principal call me to go in his office. I wish that I will not suspened.
6. In what other situations have you seen someone T.H.I.N.K. (or not) before speaking?
What happened?
Answer. It needs to think before speaking because you need to know why they are fighting
or what they are fighting for to know whats the solution for the problem. They'll be friends
or buddies or will fighthing each others with pride.
