 After having examined your “self” in it different stages, answer the guide questions
stated below.

1. What are the similarities in all stages of my “self”?

- Friendly, because it defines me for who I am, being kind and loving that makes
me feel comfortable. And I am a quiet person, because for me it characterized
as calm, gentle, and peaceful. As quiet person, generally regarded as excellent
confidants due to quiet, and calm attitude. I am frequently the ears to whom
others turn for guidance, and they recognized me as a good listener, calm
temperament, and a good person. Being slightly confident to myself until I
became moderately confident because I believe in myself to the point where I
know that success is the only option or outcome. In other words, I don't talk
about what I am going to do, I will only let my actions and results speak for
myself. However, I require confidence in order to face and overcome my doubts.
Have faith in myself that nothing is impossible if I believe in myself and, more
importantly, in God. I need to raise the bar and push myself beyond my limits.
God is always with me, I have faith on him, at the same time I have faith in
myself.

2. What are the differences in my “self” across the three stages of my life?

- In the first stage, while I am still a baby or a child, I am innocent, and my

enjoyment is limited to games and sports that make me happy or smile. In my
second stage as an adolescent, I changed physically and became more
interested in research and discovery. And I'm currently progressing moderately
and looking forward to a bright future. In the third stage, as an adult, I am more
mature in terms of decision-making, and I am also more cultivated.

3. What are the possible reasons for the differences in me?

- There are many possible reasons for the difference between me and everyone
else, but it would not be measured by the objects. Differences in physical
appearance, such as tallness, skin color, and so on, might be considered, as
can a person's intellect. We can also regard a person's gender as a
differentiating element. Such as women's menstrual cycle, they are more
emotional during their periods due to hormones.
