the information.

to do things in order to be motivated in doing
tasks. This is necessary since it will help me
appreciate even the simpler things done by
people around me and at least show
acknowledgement for the things that has been
done for the development of each other.

possible effects of tons of problems such as
deterioration of mental health.

relevancies present in the current things we
already know. As a student, I shall use these
present things I know in order to find a link
about things I do not know and identify new
things unknown to me and others.
We have things different from each other but
we can accept everyone if we can understand
diversity. As a HUMSS student, it is necessary
to accept these differences and use it as an
opportunity to develop each other and see it
as an opportunity to integrate something out
of these differences. Since we have different
cultures and personalities, it is essential to
adapt to what is needed by the current
situation I am facing.
