Reflection#3: More About Me

June 22-25, 2009

This week, we continued talking about the changes we are experiencing right now during adolescence period. We made a group activity wherein each group will discuss about each attitude that might be experiencing during this stage. I was on the first group which discussed about self-conciousness, lucky, it's just easy..heheh.

After all the presentation, I realized that each attitude is really possible to happen during this stage. I admit, one of those attitudes is being experienced by me but that's just before. As what I have said to my last post, I already accept myself. Also, I already realized that no matter how I look, there are still a lot of people accepts me and by that, I like myself as how they like me.

Ma'am Giron also presented a music video of Reflection by Christina Aguillera which was used by the cartoon movie, Mulan. It really touched my heart. You know why? It's because I can relate to the message of the mv. There is something I can see to myself that only me sees it. There is a part of me that only me knows it. There is a thing inside of me that I can't even burst out of me. And that is my talent.

Since I was still young, I really love dancing but when I transferred here in my school, SMCB, as a grade four student, I hid my talent. And this past few days, I realized that I should not hide it. You know how I realized it? It's because one time, when I am having fun with my best friend, I shared something to her and that is a dance step. She said, " I never seen you dancing! Anu nangyari sau?" It hurts me so much, kasi siya na best friend ko, di alam kung anu talent ko. My talent is now an embarrassing thing to do. I know it's my fault because I am not showing the real me but isn't it my friend is the one who didn't even get to know me better?

But now, it's not a big deal anymore. Because, I'll just try to let her feel that there is something inside of me that she doesn't know yet. I'll try to share my "hidden" talent as far as I can so that I can be me as who I want to be.

To make this short, don't ever use "mask" because it's better that others know you as who you really are than they know you as who you're really not.
