Intro to Philosophy part1

a. How did I perform in my academics last year?
> I believe I can say that I've performed well in my academics last year, I tried my best to do all my activities and I believe that I deserved the grades I got last year.

b. What are my strengths and weaknesses?
> The strengths that I have are; I'm good at writings, I'm determined, humble, respectful, and trustworthy. And my weaknesses are; speaking infront of many people, being hard to my self, excessive self-criticism, and being introvert.

c. What are my expectations for this school year?
> My expectations for this school year are; I hope that we are having limited face-to-face class, do most of the activities in school, and I expect that I could enhance more my knowledge. Also I hope to strengthen my areas of weaknesses in order to get better, and with the help of my teachers and classmates, I hope I can finish this academic year.

d. How do I use my strengths in the realization of my expectations?
> Working on my weaknesses did not give me any advantages and it drained me each day. However, as I began to put all of my attention into developing my strengths, I discovered new ways to reach my full potential and improved at figuring out how to apply my strengths to every situation and issue I came across. I do use my strengths as a bridge between my main life goals, and it's a stronger path to development and a better way of living.

Write a 150- words Reflection Essay in 3 paragraph where you will write your answers to the following questions:

1. Describe a situation in your life when you were able to engage in philosophy. What circumstances or dilemma brought about your need to philosophize?
> An example of a circumstance or situation in my life when I were able to engage in philosophy and my example of dilemma that brought about my need to philosophize was when I have often thought about the bigger questions in life.

Not coming from a religious background, instead of asking the typical "Why is God doing this thing to me? or why is God doing this thing to my family?" I instead began to wonder why humans need deities, what role it fulfills and if non religious people see divinity in other forms of symbolic representations? I was fairly young when I started to think in these terms.

Some individuals think philosophize is to fundamentally lessen their pain. For me, philosophizing makes me think that I need to be wiser, passionate, and humane. To be
the person I want and needed to be, I need to philosophize in life.

Reflect on your life so far. Can you say that you have lived a meaningful life, considering all your experiences and achievements? What do you consider as the "highlights" of your life? What are you looking forward to in the future?

> I believe that the life I have is meaningful since everything that has happened to me and is still happening to me is teaching me valuable lessons, whether they are joyful or sad events. The best highlights in my life was the day I was born, going to school for the first time, graduating from elementary school, my grade 10 moving up ceremony, and entering senior high school.

I don't know if my life has been meaningful but it has certainly been eventful and surprising, a roller-coaster of emotions, joys and pain. I have not changed the world nor made a fortune. I haven't lived all my dreams but I will continue to live and be contented.

In the near future, I hope to graduate from senior high school and college, find a decent job, hoping success for myself and for my family, reaching my dream and goals, and live life happily.
