I WANDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD
BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed - and gazed - but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
The poem that you have just read manifests how a person can be
lonely and happy at the same time. Likewise, an adolescent like
you might be able to transform your thoughts and feelings onto a
positive behavior. For instance, like a cloud, you might be alone
at times, perhaps left behind by the ones you consider as close
and significant to you; thus you might think and feel (hence the
thoughts and feelings) that you are unimportant to them.
However, as what Wordsworth wrote, “A poet could not but be
gay,” he did not let the loneliness envelop him, so he found his
own ways, controlling his behavior, to be “gay” or happy even
though the situations are against him.
By analyzing the poem and relating this to your everyday life
as an adolescent, you can now clearly identify the
connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
As discussed above, the three do not necessarily have to be
of the same succeeding level or intensity that one of them
may contradict or control the others. That is the reason that
as a responsible adolescent, it is imperative that you evaluate
yourself through self-assessment. Self-assessment is your
own assessment of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
which is completely necessary for you to arrive to an
While decisions may be individual, these are affected by
factors like values, goals, and positive affiliations. In the
study of B. Bradford Brown entitled The Psychology of
Adolescence, he wrote that the aforementioned factors are
affected by positive family and community context,
emphasizing that skills to deal with anxiety and adversity are
also keys. Hence, an individual must be able to assess
himself or herself accurately prior to making decisions as the
outcomes of his or her actions can be the reflections of how
he or she is raised, chooses peers, and deals with the
Meanwhile, in an online article published in
carolinapeds.com entitled “The Connection Between
our Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviors, the author
Courtney Bancroft”, it was discussed that the three are
connected with one another in such a means that when
one (e.g. thought) or any two of the three (e.g. thought
and feeling) is/are on negative pole, it may be changed
by having the remaining factor/s focused on the
positive pole.
Now that you have seen the connections of
the three elements, it is about time that you
share a real situation that you have
experienced in the past when your thoughts,
feelings, and behaviors either agreed with one
another, or otherwise. Please answer the
following questions:
•-Have you had an experience when your thoughts,
feelings, and behaviors agreed with one another?
What situation was that?
•-Have you had an experience when your thoughts,
feelings, and behaviors disagreed with one
another? What situation was that? How did you
arrive to an informed conclusion afterwards?
•-Why do you think that at times,
people tend to have thoughts, feelings,
and behaviors that do not agree with
each other?
•-Can we control our thoughts, feelings,
and behavior? How can we do that?
• Your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors allow you to arrive at
certain decisions. These decisions, however, might be
informed or uninformed. In order for you to be able to arrive
at a fruitful and helpful conclusion, you should be able to
track the three elements, so it would be easy for you to show
the connections among them. In this activity, you are given a
set of situations where you should track your thoughts,
feelings, and behavior until you reach a decision. Your
answer must be in full sentence or paragraph, depending on
your intent. Use a different sheet of paper.
1. You saw one of your friends getting something from the
teacher's drawer without permission. What would your
decision be?
2. You felt an urge to help an old man crossing the street,
but you are already in the jeepney. How would you decide
on it?
3. One of your neighbors is insulting the religion of your
other neighbor by posting blasphemous articles on social
media. How would you decide on it?
