 Lesson 1
KNOWING ONE SELF
“Knowing oneself is the
beginning of wisdom”. This
renowned quote is often attributed
to Socrates. But what exactly do
you benefit when you know and
understand who you are?
 Self is the union of elements,
namely: body, thoughts,
feelings or emotions, and
sensations that constitute the
individuality and identity of a
person.
 The body constitutes your
physical attributes, your health, and
your posture and poise. Your
thoughts, the way you think,
and how you perceive things around
you and affect how you feel about
them and bring about sensations.
 These emotions and sensations
that you experience prompt you to
act and behave the way you do.
The union of these elements
makes up your character or
personality and essentially
distinguishes you from others.
 Physical attributes such as height
and skin complexion, as well as
psychological characteristics such as
temperament, may be inherited from
your parents; some attributes and
traits, however, may be brought
about by environmental factors.
Some of your traits may be similar
to your other siblings
or to some of your peers, but no
two individuals exactly alike. Thus,
you are unique, and that
makes you special.
 Lesson 2
IDENTIFYING YOUR
STRENGTHS AND
WEAKNESS
Why is it important to know your
strengths and weakness?
In knowing your strengths, you are more
empowered to do developmental tasks.
These tasks essential in making wise
decisions include your capacity to
establish mature relationships with
others, emotional indifference, and your
ability to demonstrate responsible
behaviors.
 Also, in becoming more aware of your
strengths, you are equipped with skills
essential in making wise decisions in like;
you are able to analyze complex
situations logically and sensibility. Finally,
when you know your capabilities, you can
be more confident in doing your tasks and
become more competent in achieving
your goals.
 You can easily identify your
weaknesses but the next question
is, what do you do about these
limitations? Becoming more aware of
your weaknesses is not the
end goal of self-development; rather, it
is its starting point.
 On the other hand,
determining your weakness
gives you the opportunity to
know your limitations where
you have to say no.
 For example, one of our weakness is being
impatient; thus, you find it very difficult to conduct
research study. But research work is a part of your
requirements school. So, what do you do now? Are
you simply going to rely on your group mates to
meet the requirement?
Or are you going to work and do the research but in
a sloppy and hurried manner? You may simply say,
“This is what I can only do, and having a grade of
75 is just fine by me. “Many adolescents are caught
in this predicament.
 Yes, perhaps you know and you can easily
identify your weaknesses but the next question is,
what do you do about these limitations? Becoming
more aware of your weaknesses is not the end
goal of self-development; rather, it is its starting
point. You must find ways to enhance your
capabilities. You must develop your knowledge
and skills through better study habits, and develop
positive attitudes in dealing with life’s challenges.
Remember that it is in understanding yourself that
you become more capable of actualizing your
potentials to the fullest. When you understand
yourself, you do not only come to appreciate and
value who you are; understanding yourself also
helps you to respect others and relate with them
more meaningfully. When you know yourself
more, you are empowered to cope well with the
demands in school, at home, and of your
relationships with others.
 Lesson 3
THE IMPORTANCE
OF VALUING ONE’S
SELF
How do you value
yourself?
 We come to value ourselves more as we
understand ourselves better. Self-
awareness starts with assessing yourself.
Introspection, or your ability to reflect and
think about your own thoughts, feelings
and actions, is essential in understanding
and improving yourself.
Writing a journal is one way of helping
you introspect.
Listening to the feedback of others is
important because it allows
you to validate your perceptions of
who you are. More so, the activity
utilized the so-called activity
of affirmation, or the process of
encouraging or motivating others
through positive statements.
 When you listen to positive feedback,
you feel energized and you become
more enthusiastic because you are
affirmed, your worth as a person was
recognized and, in this way, you feel
more confident of yourself.Not all kinds
of feedback are positive. We call this
kind as criticism or negative feedback.
When you hear this, you tend to get angry and
may even deny what others have observed
about you. You have to be smart to determine
the accuracy of the feedback that you receive
from others, which you can do by consulting a
trusted friend or classmate. Also, you may see
your guidance counselor whom you can share
your thoughts and feelings and discuss
experiences.
 Lesson 4
DEVELOPING THE
WHOLE PERSON
 When you hear the word
“adolescence”, what word
immediately comes in your
mind?
 You may think of words like body
changes, peers, and questions. There
must be a lot of words to describe
adolescence; some maybe fun, but
some may also mean responsibility.
• Puberty which is part of adolescence
has its onset at ages 10-11 for girls and
11-12 for boys.
• Adolescence; from 13 to 19 years old,
is considered as a transition from
childhood to adulthood, a passage from
one stage to another (Hurlock, 1982).
• Physical and psychological chang.e
• Rapid mental development changes.
• Strive to establish personalities however
instantaneously and frustratingly.
• See things around them as they want to see them,
which can also be disappointing.
• Changes regarding sexual maturation and attainment
of reproductive capacity maybe overwhelming and
catch you off guard, but they are integral to your
personality as they affect your behavior.
• Rejection is a primary issue during
adolescence.
• The pains brought about by not belonging,
unaccepted, and being alone place a teenager
in a difficult situation.
• They are easily influenced by peers. Such
influence is called peer pressure. All these
contribute to the teenagers “heightened
emotionality”.
• Frustrations and other negative emotions may
make adolescence a problematic or challenging
period for many teenagers.
• Adults who guide or raise teenagers express
having difficult times with teenagers under their
care and see this stage as an ordeal on their part
as well.
• These wonders and challenges make
adolescence an important crossroad in their
journey.
