Keep in Mind

Suggested Time Allotment: 10 minutes

You are now in Grade 12 which is the last level in basic education. Hence, it would be important
that you are aware on your adjustments as a teenager in the different developmental aspects of
personality. How do you think you’re dealing with it?

A group of researchers led by Amanda Eller states that a balanced person might develop an
active role by interpreting the expectations of the social actors from the home and work domains and
from other institution. It is where he/she studies and adopts boundaries with degrees of permeability
that enable a state of greater balance between the said domains. When it comes to life, happiness, and
well-being, there isn’t one single area of life that we need to focus on. Instead, life is multi-dimensional
and dynamic.

The following dimensions will guide you on the areas to focus and improve.

1. Physical. Your adolescence period is a good time for you to take more responsibility for your
physical health. You can learn to make healthy food choices, be active, and engage in your
own healthcare. It is highly recommended that you have at least 60 minutes of physical activity
each day. Support from family and friends will help increase your physical activity as
adolescent. In addition, learning the healthy habits like drinking enough water and eating
enough fruits and vegetables, is important to maintain your good nutrition. Valuing your
physical health by taking care of your body through the following: exercise regularly, eat a
healthy diet, maintain a healthy weight, get enough sleep, keep up with vaccinations, brush
and floss your teeth, and avoid listening to loud music.

2. Mental. It is important for you to maintain good mental health habits, including coping,
resilience, and good judgment among your age group to achieve overall wellbeing. It sets the
stage for positive mental health in adulthood. Mood swings, for example, are common during
adolescence. Some adolescents might experience a serious mental health adjustment, such
as depression and/or anxiety disorders, at some point in life. That is why for a healthy mental
aspect, you as an adolescent must remember that talking about your feelings with a trusted
6
 person can help. He/she could be a member of your family or a close friend. Definitely he/she
can support you in maintaining a sound mind and positive outlook in every challenge as an
adolescent.

3. Emotional. The adolescent healthy emotional development is marked by a gradually

increasing ability to perceive, assess, and manage emotions. This is a biological process
driven by physical and cognitive changes and heavily influenced by context and environment.
You generally become more aware of your own feelings and the feelings of others, but these
perceptions may still be weak. You sometimes might expect to keep your emotions from
interfering with performance in school, task and other activities, but doing so may be
challenging in a complex environment. You may be excited to take on new challenges to
become more independent, whereas others may need more support to build confidence. The
process of emotional development gives you the opportunity to build skills, discover unique
qualities, and develop strengths for optimal healthy emotion.

4. Social. You as an adolescent must continue to refine how you relate with others. Questions
like “Who am I?” and “Who do I want to be?” may direct you to have a deeper understanding of
yourself. You may adopt the values and roles that your parents expect from you and later on
develop your own identity that might be different from your parents but similar with your peer
group. This is common as peer relationships can become a central focus in your life. It is
recommended that you build relationship with your peers through social interrelated activities.
You may establish healthy relationship with them through freedom to be yourself, mutual
respect of both people in the partnership, support, privacy, boundaries and communication.

5. Spiritual. Religion has a strong influence to our country even up to now. The teenagers who
are guided and nurtured by a clear belief system and spiritual activities are much less likely to
go off the rails during adolescence. The experiences and observations you have in your
spiritual aspect could continuously refine your belief system. It is better to be surrounded by
adults who can be your good role model and a source of inspiration to improve your life
direction than to be with people who are very prone to be off-track in life.

Therefore, after internalizing the five dimensions of human individual, it is important to include personal
development plan to manage your strengths and weaknesses.

A Personal Development Plan is an action plan for self-development within the context of
education, relationships, career, or for self-improvement. It provides an awareness and reflection that
will help you set and reach personal goals and improve on various aspects of your life across various
life stages.

 Keep in Mind

Suggested Time Allotment: 20 minutes

In dealing with others, we must recognize that we are all different from one another. Though
we may have similarities in terms of preferences, taste, physical appearance, style and many more,
we still have our distinctions and uniqueness which make us special in different ways.
Our individuality comes with our unique attributes and characteristics. Some can easily be
seen physically while some can be manifested through actions and behavior which may indicate
values and personalities.
There is harmony in diversity and we can all keep it that way if we learn to accept one another
as we are.
There are healthy ways to deal with our individual differences which would work for everyone’s
advantage. Here are some:
a. Accept that we are all different. Don’t assume that your preferences would always be the same
as those of your peers or friends. Of course there are similarities among you but all have different
stories to tell that affect the way you see things. You may have different beliefs, culture, values, and
even interest, and you cannot force anybody to be exactly the same as you. Remember, even twins
have differences.
b. Use your similarities with other people to strike a harmonious relationship with them. While
you acknowledge that people are different from another, there are also commonalities which you may
take advantage to establish positive relationship with them. At this point in time, you might have found
the right people who can be your good friends, who can inspire you to strive harder, and who can be
your role model.
c. Be open-minded with others. You can always learn from the experiences of your friends and
peers and they can also do the same with you. The manner they overcome life challenges and how
they impact their living could be your insights to improve your lifestyle or even the way you see things
around you. You can also learn from their culture, traditions and values.
d. Try to consider where others are coming from. Your family set-up may be different from what
your friends have. People might have grown up in a province or in a highly urbanized city. There are
those who have a complete set of parents and those that have a single parent or no parents at all.
Additionally, people have different childhood experiences which greatly affect their attitude and
personality now. There are also those who struggle financially and those who are well off. Keep in
mind that people are coming from different backgrounds and they act, decide and make choices
based on those things.
e. If your differences with others are getting in the way, try to have a common ground. You
cannot impose your beliefs, values and culture to others, the same way that they cannot do that to
you. However, instead of trying to prove who’s better and who’s not, you may want to find an area
where you can both improve yourself while learning from each other. There are differences that are
worthy to talk and celebrate, and there are those that we just accept unconditionally just like in the
second item. There’s no point in comparing people as each of us have our own potentials and
abilities.

12
Always remember that you co-exist with others. There are things that you cannot control like the
people around you but you can always manage the way you deal with them. The choice is always
with you, either you make the most out of those individual differences and have a happy life or you
make that as your limitations.

Read the story of Anton, a Senior High School graduate,

then answer the processing questions on a separate
sheet of paper.

Anton’s Indecisiveness

Anton who took up the General Academic Strand in Senior High

School has a hard time deciding what course to enroll in college. He
graduated with honors and has received special citations. He is great in
Science and Math but he is also into arts and graphic designing. He was
told by his parents to decide for his course since colleges are already closing admission and the school
opening is approaching fast.
He is spending night analyzing his options. Sometimes he barely sleeps, over-analyzing all
considerations. There are also pressures from his friends for him to join them in the university where
there are wide variety of Science course he can choose from. He also considers the suggestions of his
teachers who see his potential in graphic designing and multimedia arts.

15
 Anton really wants to enroll in the most prestigious school to study the course that perfectly fits him.
After thorough self-deliberation, he comes down to two schools and four courses. But this does not end his
considerations; he still has more factors to visit.
His family and friends are starting to worry if he could ever make a final decision.
It has finally come one day when everything was in place. Anton finally decides to enroll! He hurries to
the school of his choice, but he’s an hour late! The enrolment has just closed for his first choice. To add in
more to his regrets, his second chosen program has also reached the maximum number of students and it was
closed days ago.
Sad and full of regrets, Anton goes home thinking of the lost time overthinking his options. And that is
because he can just not make up his mind.

Processing Questions: Write your answers on a sheet of paper.

 We make countless choices every day, from the very moment we opened our eyes in the morning up to
the time we fall back to our beds, and our choices are neither right nor wrong.
According to Steven J. Heine, author of the book Cultural Psychology, choice is something that is
surely valued everywhere; however, the extent to which people value choices and exercise it is influenced by
the context we are in. More choices are available to individuals acting alone than to those who are part of
interdependent group of people; however, the limits on their choices are likely not experienced as aversive
when individuals share the same goals as their group.
For example, you choose not to attend classes because your peers invited you to join them outside the
school during class hour although you are aware of your responsibility in the school. This phenomenon is be
explained by Rollo May, an American Psychologist, who articulated that human beings are inseparable from
their environment, a simultaneous relationship exists, and involving three models such as the following: (1) the
physical and physiological; (2) the social environment of the people; and (3) human being’s relationship
to their inner nature.
Ludwig Binswanger, an existential psychologist, explained that humans have complete freedom of
choice or free will and are completely responsible for their own existence. There was always the possibility of
becoming something new or better because existence changes.
How can you correct mistakes from the past? Change your mind set. Change is always a choice.
You need to realize that you can control your own behavior and need to make better choices. Things don’t just
happen. You can take much more effective control of your life through planning.
What are the strategies to promote change and foresee the possible wrong decisions and future
actions? According to American psychologist Gerald Corey, first thing is to explore what your wants, needs
and perceptions are. Try to recognize, define, and refine how you wish to meet your needs. Second, focus on
what you are doing at present and think of your future direction. Take action by changing what you are doing
and thinking. Third, make a self-evaluation. It is your responsibility to evaluate your own behavior. Lastly,
formulate your action plan. Creating and carrying out your plans enable you to gain more effective control over
your life. If your plan does not work, devise a different plan. Your commitment is essential to carry out your
plans.

Factors that affect our decisions

We act or decide based on different considerations and factors. Most especially if the
situations demand a very important decision, we need to carefully assess our choices and
calculate the risk that we might face.

1. Environment. The people around us including the current setup affect the way we see things. They
can influence our beliefs and perception on the consequences of our actions. There are times that
we intend to compare how they face a certain problem with the way we face it ourselves; this is
something that we need to get away from as we are all different including the situations we are in.
2. Experiences. Our past encounter with people and the results of our decisions before mold how we
act and decide today. For instance, if you have proven that a certain person should not be trusted
with your secrets, then you won’t entrust him/her the confidential matters that you have. The same
thing if you have a tested action to be effective like your study habits which led you to get high
grades, then, there is a great possibility to replicate such practice. Our experiences whether good
or bad shape the way we behave nowadays.
3. Personal characteristics. We should also take into account the function of our culture, attitude,
personality, beliefs, abilities, gender, health condition and others in terms of our way of making a
decision. You have to recognize that there are enabling and limiting aspects of your personal
characteristics. For instance, in your culture, there may be a stigma on the role of man or woman. It

17
 is now up to you whether you want to live up to that expectation or not. You may want to look into
what science tells about healthy and unhealthy practices.
4. Facts or data. It is a good practice to decide based on the merit of actual facts or data. It will
definitely inform you on the exact scenario you are dealing with and you can calculate how your
decisions would impact the situation. For example, you need to decide your curriculum exit. You
may check the number of schools where you can pursue whatever course you have plan to have.
At the same time, you may look into the data on SHS graduates who were employed after basic
education and those that ventured into business.
5. Motivation. Our drive to achieve certain things influences our decisions. Sometimes we need to let
go of small things in order to attain greater things. For example, you slipped away your opportunity
to be with your friends on a Saturday because it’s your schedule for college application interview.
Your goal to be a college graduate is bigger than your desire to enjoy the company of
your friends, so you opted to be at the interview.

Your decisions will define the kind of choices you are taking. At the end of the day, you
will be the one to face whatever consequences these decisions bring. Hence, your
decision-making process is very important. If you are in doubt or confused about your choices, you
may want to go to someone who is well trained to guide and facilitate your decision-making process
like a Registered Guidance Counselor (RGC). If an RGC is not available in your school, you may
consider getting the insights of your trusted teacher, parents or adults.
