Eight meeting...

On your journal, process your experience with the aid of the following guide questions:

a. What challenge did you take?
b. Were you able to beat the challenge? How do you feel about it?
c. What have you realized/learned from your experience?


a. There is a lot of challenges that comes to me and there's a lot more to come. I don't know when but I know that it will come but I'm, somehow, ready to face all of this.

b. Sometimes I beat all of those challenges but sometimes I'm failed to accomplish all of that.
Whenever I fail to accomplish all challenges that comes to me, I just ignore my failures and try to reflect on the positive things that happen to me.

c. It serves as a lesson that helps me to do things better. I don't see them as a failure but I apply the things on what I have learned from my mistakes.

Seventh meeting...

Self -evaluation
Review the results of your personal health assessment and write your realizations and plans about your health in your journal.

- I think that I am physically healthy, that's what I think. The nurses that examined my health doesn't give any negative opinion about my health. Maybe, I am physically healthy but not mentally, I guess. hehehe

- I'm really aware of my health because it really affects my studies. I don't smoke, I don't drink alcoholic beverages, etc. because all this elements are really affecting my way of living. I think that there is nothing wrong of avoiding all of this activities and in the same time it's good for my health.

"The Most Challenging Thing I have ever Accomplished."

I know it's really hard to do, so I think this is one of my greatest achievement.
This requirs trust in yourself, believe in what you can do, and stop telling yourself that you can't do all those things.
