Reflection#4: Commoners

June 29-July 2, 2009

This week,we discussed the importance of having relationships with others. First, I've learned that it is important to have a relationship with others because it is the way we discover our true selves. We are knowing our attitude and not just attitude, instead, we are also knowing our strong points and weak points.

Second, we also discussed the top three commoners that we are having relationship with-parents or family, peers, and community. During our stage, I agree that our relationship with our parents is not so good. It's because the conflicts or problems are commonly happening between a parent and a child who's on his adolescent period. And because of the lack of time together, the parents quite not know more about their child's attitude. So, peers are there-the one who knows us, teenagers, more. Aside from the time we spent together in school that makes our relationship tighter, we are also much more comfortable to talk to each other than our parents because we are way the same. And the last from the top, the community. The community is important because it provides safe, supportive and nurturing environment.

Last, we also discussed friends-how to make friends and how to keep friends. Yes, we should choose our friends. We should be friends with the one that has a good characteristics. The one that would not let you down. The one that will accept you as who you are. And we can keep our friends if we are the same. If we have a good characteristics. If we would not let him or her down. And if we accept him or her as who he or she is. It's just like the golden rule right?

As I reflected, I want to change something. I want to change the fact that peers are better to talk about your feelings than your parents or family. I want to let you know that parents are still your parents. Even time lacks for your bond, you should still be closer to them than your peers. Because they are the one who knows you since birth. You know why I want to let you know about that? Because you really don't know what will happen next to your life story.. So Try to be open to your parents-your family. Don't wait for the unhappy story of your life..

It's too late nung narealize ko na kailangan ko ang advices nila kesa sa barkada.. kung kelang hiwalay na.. saka ko lang sila hinahanap-hanap..
