REFLECTION
LESSON 1
As a PUP student, I believe that memorizing the university’s vision, mission,
and goals is not enough. What truly matters is living and applying them in
everything I do. By doing so, I will not only grow academically, but also as a person
who understands and values what this institution stands for. I will cooperate and do
my part to uphold the university’s principles, knowing that being here is a privilege
that many aspire to. I want to make the most of this opportunity not just to
succeed in my studies, but to embrace and embody the core values of
accountability, service, and excellence. I will continue striving to be a student who
brings pride to PUP and contributes to the community in simple but meaningful
ways.
LESSON 2
As I reflect more on our lesson about the four Cs of 21st-century skills which are
critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication, I begin to realize how much
they matter in building the kind of person I want to become. These are not just lessons
to pass the subject but life skills that can help me grow. Critical thinking reminds me to
pause and understand things deeply before making decisions. Creativity encourages me
to find new ways to express myself and solve problems. Collaboration teaches me the
value of working with others, respecting their ideas, and learning from them.
Communication helps me to share my thoughts clearly and listen with understanding.
I know I still have many things to improve. Sometimes I hesitate to speak, I
struggle in group work, or I doubt my own ideas. But learning about these skills gave me
hope. I want to apply them not just in school but in the way I live each day. I hope to
become more thoughtful, more open, more courageous, and more connected with
others. I may not get it all at once, but I believe that with small steps, I can be part of the
change. I want to grow into someone who helps create a better, kinder, and more
understanding world.

LESSON 4
After learning about communication and globalization, I realized how connected we
all are, even with people from different cultures and countries. The way we speak, share
ideas, and interact online has a big impact. I also learned that while globalization helps us
reach more people, it also comes with the responsibility to communicate respectfully
and truthfully, especially on social media. This lesson made me more aware of how
powerful our words can be in the digital world, and I hope to use that power wisely as a
responsible digital citizen.
REFLECTION
LESSON 5
Our midterm was definitely one of the most unforgettable activities we’ve had so
far. We chose China as our country, and from the very beginning, we were already
excited. But honestly, it wasn’t easy. We spent days practicing, fixing props, memorizing
lines, and making sure everything looked good. It was tiring, and there were moments
when we felt stressed, but we kept going. What made it all worth it was the feeling of
performing and celebrating Chinese New Year as if we were really part of it. I even tried
speaking a few lines in Chinese, which was fun and challenging at the same time. Through
this experience, I realized how beautiful it is to learn about other cultures. It opened my
eyes to how diverse the world is and how important it is to be respectful and open to
others. I’m really thankful for this chance because I didn’t just learn—I experienced it.o
learned that while globalization helps us reach more people, it also comes with the
responsibility to communicate respectfully and truthfully, especially on social media.
This lesson made me more aware of how powerful our words can be in the digital world,
and I hope to use that power wisely as a responsible digital citizen.
LESSON 6
I used to be ashamed of my English. I would overthink my grammar and
pronunciation. But now, I see that even native speakers from different countries speak
differently. Language is not about being perfect, it's about connecting. This lesson helped
me feel proud of how I speak, and excited to keep improving without fear.
REFLECTION
LESSON 7
This lesson on evaluating texts and images in a multicultural context really made
me reflect on how I process information, especially online. Just recently, I came across a
post on Facebook claiming that garlic can cure monkeypox. At first, I almost believed it
because the post looked convincing. It had a well-edited image, a long caption, and lots
of shares and comments. But after learning about critical reading and evaluation
strategies, I paused and asked myself if the information was true, if it came from a
trusted source, and if it had any scientific basis.
That experience made me realize how easy it is to fall for misleading or false information
if we are not careful. This lesson taught me to look deeper, not just at the text but also at
the image itself. Some content is made to appear real when it is actually harmful or fake. I
also learned how important it is to be sensitive to different cultures. What may seem like
simple advice in one culture might be dangerous or offensive in another.
I now understand the importance of asking questions such as whether something is
useful, reliable, and respectful. This learning experience helped me become more
responsible when it comes to what I read, believe, and share online. I want to continue
applying these skills, because in a world where information spreads so quickly, I believe
being thoughtful and careful truly matters. This lesson reminded me that part of being a
responsible digital citizen is not just knowing how to use technology, but knowing how to
think critically about what we see.
LESSON 8
When we had this lesson, I honestly realized how much technology has helped us
express our ideas better. Before, I only knew how to make simple PowerPoint slides, but
now I learned there are so many tools out there like Canva, Google Slides, and even
simple video editing apps that can help make presentations more engaging. At first, I was
nervous to try them, especially when we had to present, but slowly I gained confidence. I
noticed that when visuals match what you're saying, people understand your message
more. It’s not just about making slides look pretty, but about making sure your ideas are
clear. This lesson made me want to keep improving how I communicate using both my
voice and the tools I have. It felt good to learn something I know I’ll use in real life.
REFLECTION
LESSON 9
When I found out I had to do an individual recitation in front of my teacher, I got
really nervous. I practiced over and over, even whispered my lines to myself before
entering the room. But the moment I stood up to speak, my hands felt cold and I could
feel my heart pounding. I was so scared I might forget what to say or mess up my words.
But I reminded myself that this was my chance to try. So I spoke, slowly at first,
doing my best to remember what we learned in class—like using my voice clearly and
keeping eye contact, even if I was shy. I wasn’t perfect, but I noticed something that
made me feel better. My teacher was listening closely, and at one point, she smiled. It
was a small thing, but it meant so much to me. It felt like she understood what I was
trying to say.
After that, I felt a little more confident. I realized that even though I was nervous, I
was still able to express my thoughts. Maybe I really am improving, little by little. That
experience made me proud of myself, not because I was perfect, but because I faced
my fear and still chose to speak. And for me, that’s already a big step.
LESSON 10
This morning, during our second group recitation, we filmed ourselves casually
talking about how AI affects our life, academic journey, and education. At first, I thought it
would be a little awkward, but once we started talking, it felt so natural. We shared our
honest thoughts and experiences, and surprisingly, we were able to speak in English
smoothly. It was fun, not just because we were filming, but because we all had something
real to say. It felt like we were not just doing a school task—we were actually connecting
through our ideas.
I realized that I’m improving, little by little. Before, I would struggle to memorize even
short lines, and I always worried about how I sounded. But now, I can speak more
smoothly and confidently. It’s not perfect, but I can feel that I’m learning how to speak
English in a more natural way. This experience made me proud, because I didn’t just
memorize—I understood what I wanted to say and delivered it from the heart. Lesson 10
helped me see the importance of knowing how to speak clearly, especially in a
professional setting. I still have more to learn, but this moment reminded me that growth
takes time, and every step forward matters.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
First and foremost, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to God, whose
guidance, strength, and grace have carried me through every challenge and moment of
doubt throughout this journey. Without His presence, none of this would have been
possible.
To my family, thank you for being my unwavering source of love and inspiration. Your
endless support, encouragement, and sacrifices have been the foundation of my
strength. Thank you for believing in me even during times when I doubted myself, for
helping me find costumes and props for our exam presentation, and for always
supporting me financially with the materials I needed.
To my subject adviser, Assoc. Prof. Maria Asuncion Del Castillo, thank you for your
dedicated teaching and for giving us the opportunity to grow from Lesson 1 to Lesson 10.
At first, I lacked confidence in public speaking and reflection writing, but because of your
guidance, I was able to see my own progress. It was truly a wonderful experience to
engage in the meaningful activities you assigned us. You have been an instrument in our
learning and personal development, and for that, I am sincerely grateful.
To my friends and classmates, thank you for the shared laughter, the late-night
brainstorming sessions, and for simply being there during the highs and lows of this
journey. Your companionship made everything lighter and more meaningful.
To everyone who contributed, whether through words of encouragement, acts of
kindness, or quiet understanding, please know that you have been part of this
achievement. This work is not mine alone; it is a reflection of the love, support, and help I
have received from each of you.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
