God has given me. Regardless of how others perceive my appearance, I know that we are
all beautiful.

me, they have taught me what to do if I have problems, and they do not encourage me to
do bad things. They have never abandoned me despite the difficulties we have faced.

to do is learn; I do not want to compete with others based on their grades.

am grateful to have a family to spend time with. It is a blessing in disguise for me.

single, because it teaches me to love and care for myself more before becoming someone

descriptions is the most observable? - Yes. The most obvious description is whether the
person is lively or reserved, because how a person behaves speaks volumes. It all comes

can be measured and observed, includes being lively and reserved.
2. What is the most difficult description to observe? Explain. - Being a thinker or a doer is
the most difficult description to observe. Both characteristics can coexist, but determining
which one is more important is difficult. A person can think first and then act, or they can
think first and then act.

The differences between the three people distinguishes them from others. They have no
exact resemblances.

- The only thing I practice is understanding the feelings of others, even though there are
differences, but the love is greater.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED

Write a 3- to 5-paragraph essay that answers the

How should we celebrate our

individual differences ?

As humans, we are identified and make ourselves recognized to one another through
infinite varieties of intelligence, language, race, values, politics, religion, national service, gender
presentation, philosophy, and a slew of other human-shared elements. Recognizing our shared
humanity is the first step toward celebrating our differences - differences that shape our cultures,
values, minds, and all of our ways of being in the world. Diversity is the primary informant of
the creative life force, as well as the central reality in our comprehension and stewardship of it.
By reading and learning about stories from other cultures is an excellent way to broaden
your worldview. Many traditional folk tales have themes and ideas while also focusing on
specific aspects of another culture. Inviting families to share is another great way to celebrate our
differences. Encourage people to share how they celebrate a special occasion, as well as their
special hobbies, interests, and music. Discovering about families as a group fosters a sense of
unity and comprehension.
We live in a diverse world where children will encounter a wide range of people and
experiences. Embracing our differences is a work in progress. As caregivers for young children,
we must promote the positive aspects of differences and similarities in everything we do with
them on a regular basis.

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS & FEELINGS

Create a slogan or poster on unconditional acceptance of others and respect

for individual differences. You may post it online or physically in the most

noticeable area at home. Use a short bond paper and coloring materials.

We do not have to agree

with others, but we must
respect one another.

on a separate sheet of paper.

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

1. Did you experience spending more time to make a decision that greatly affects you or your
future just like Anton? Share your experience. - Yes, I have had the experience of taking more
time to make a decision that affects me when my friends suggested that I participate in a
competition at school because they said I am good at it, but I told them that I would think about
it. However, when I decided to join right away, the teacher informed me that all of the
participants had already been assigned.
2. If you are in his situation, what would be your next move? - I'll think about what I'm good at
aside from my first and second choices, and I'll enroll right away so I don't have to regret it
again.
3. What should you do so you won’t face the same problem as that of Anton? - I'll consider
where I'm strong and where I'm weak, and I'll decide what path I want to take.

On a separate sheet of paper, write AGREE or DISAGREE on the given situations. Read each
statement carefully to make sure that it best matches your opinion.

experiences and the outcome of that situation were factors that I considered when
answering.
2. Do your experiences at this time of pandemic change the way you decide on
things? In what way? - Yes. Everyday tasks and decision-making have become more

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED

Go back to the story of Anton in Let’s Try This. If you have the power to travel back in time
and help him out in choosing for the best school and course to take in college, what advise will
you give him? Write your answer in a letter format on a piece of paper.

I will tell him that he needs to think carefully about what he really wants in the course
because it is for his future, but he should not take too long because enrollment will close and he
will be bitterly disappointed for the rest of his life.
 SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS & FEELINGS
1. On your answer sheet, write your personal experiences depicting right or wrong
decisions you made during this pandemic.

MY RIGHT DECISIONS

1. Staying healthy and fit even before the pandemic

2. Deciding to stay with my family while I study

MY WRONG DECISIONS

1. Thinking that politics and the overall healthcare system are totally separate from each other and
will not affect us
2. Not being involved in politics and critical to socio-political and environmental issues

2. Cite the reasons why you did such acts, and how you resolved the issues.
- I committed these acts because I lacked awareness and information about my surroundings,
but after so many realizations and growth during the community quarantine, I was able to
categorize the seemingly wrong and right decisions I had made in the past and recent past
that surfaced during the pandemic.
