1. How will you describe this phase of development, combining your personal experiences with the
concepts given in this module about adolescence?
We live in a world where change is constant. As times goes by, we keep developing and
progressing in our own way. As we undergo adolescence, we become more open to different
things and somehow our mind progress in such way, where we don’t see things like before. It
gives us the opportunity to become a better person or what we want ourselves to be.
2. Following the theories of Erikson and Marcia, how would you describe your own development
of self-identity? What events shaped you into the person you are today? What factors
influenced you?
My own development was never been easy and quick even up to this date. I went through a lot
of hardships that once caused me to drift and stumble. However, things gradually went alright
after some realizations and experience. I surrounded myself with positive individuals, and so,
put myself in a positive environment. It molded my development of self-identity and made me
the person I am today.
3. What is the importance of understanding yourself? And how does self-awareness help boost
your self-confidence?
Above anything else, nothing is more important than understanding yourself. The moment we
understand ourselves, we develop, improve and figure out every single detail about us and most
importantly, we become self-aware. Self-awareness is a key to a better development and
growth. It helps us focus more on energy on what we’re good at, which essentially boost up our
confidence.
4. What are your strengths and weaknesses? What are the areas of improvement that will help
you toward self-development?
Each of us possesses strengths and weaknesses. We own several of them which completes our
individuality. My strengths revolves around the field of academe, in writing, analytical thinking
and many more. Whereas my weaknesses revolves around the field of support. It’s quite
inevitable since I don’t spend much of time outdoors. Though, as of the moment, we may not
know how much we can do and what we can’t do, we should inform ourselves that there’s a
room for improvement. The only thing we need to consider is that being open and surely, all
these improvements will help us develop in the most convenient way.
