My Dream, My Motivation

Module 2 

I remember when I was young. Ten years old to be exact. By that time, our teacher asked us to write an essay about what we want to be in the future. I asked my father, aunt and sisters. They laugh at me but I have to ask. My father said while we are eating dinner. You can be a good lawyer because you love arguing. Then I realize that it is true. At that young age, I instill in my mind that I want to be a lawyer and here I am right now, taking Education course and my plan is to continue it to law school. Imagine a ten year old girl, who don't know anything, a girl who doesn't know what she really want, now, slowly but surely trying to climb that ladder of her unknown dream when she is young.

Just now I realize that no one in my family motivates me to be a lawyer. They don't care about my dream. I am not so intelligent child at home. I am like the rotten tomato as we call it. I never learn how to want something because before I could open my mouth, I already know what my mom will tell me. So instead of wasting time to talk, I decided at a young age to just keep my mouth shut but don't get me wrong. Because of it, I learn how to own myself. I learn to stand on my own and dream big for myself. Success is a sweet revenge.

What motivates me in my everyday life is myself. My father who always believe in me. He never say anything to me. No words of encouragement or motivation. What he is just silently asking is making our home a beautiful home as a proof that we are their fruit of hardship. As of the moment, I am motivated by people I know as I thought are successful. Like my classmates in elementary and secondary that has their own house. One day, I will have mine plus I am a full pledge teacher/lawyer in my hometown. One day....

Cognitive Development Theory

Module 1.2 Cognitive development is how a person perceives, thinks, and gains understanding of their world through the relations of genetic and learning factors. There are four stages to cognitive information development and they are reasoning, intelligence, language, and memory . I try to recall things that I did when I was young but I can only remember things that I did as far as when I am five years old during my daycare center child hood. I remember this coloring book. It is still with me up to this day and I keep it as part of my childhood memory. One day, our teacher asked us to color a page wherein I color a dog's head of green instead of white, black or brown which is the normal fur color of dogs head. I don't know what come sin my mind by that time. Maybe I instill in my mind that our teacher told us to color so I just color it. When my father saw it, he is laughing like no tomorrow and then when I realize, it is like.. ..oh my gosh, what did I do? Well, I cant remove ...

Nature-Nurture Development

 Module 1.1 As my previous journal, I mentioned that I almost didn't grew up at home, together with my biological family. Although I believe in Nature-Nurture Development, I still want to insist that growing in a different environment actually affects someone's belief. One clear example is me. At home, we never discuss politics. We eat dinner together, yes but breakfast and lunch is no. Both my parents are working. My mom working in my Auntie's grocery store in town while my father who works at different farm of different people nearby. Life in the province is never that easy especially if your family and parents wants a different life from them. In terms of cognitive development, I would say that I got being an animal lover and having a green thumb from my father while being thrifty is something from my mom. Those traits I believe is something that is part of nature. Got those genes from my parents. In terms of nurture, my environment gave me a lot. I am a keen observant a...

Socio-Emotional Processes

Module 1.3 I am 24 years old when I started to work overseas as OFW in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Housemaid/nanny/tutor, that's my application. At first it was not an easy journey or task as it is my first time working overseas. I am the youngest among the three siblings and yet I am the first one and only one who dream this far. Working overseas. It is my dream when I was in my secondary days but I never thought that it will be fulfilled in a different manner or way which I didn't plan. Yes, it is my dream to work overseas but not as a housemaid. Don't get me wrong, I didn't belittled our OFW's but what I mean is, I want to work overseas but as a skilled worker since I am able to finish Food Technology way back. I am already in KSA when that though pass me one day. Home sickness attack I guess but it is after three months when I feel it. I am used to be far from home. I don't have a close bond with my family at all especially to my intelligent sisters. I am close...
