Module 4: Me and My Decisions

· Let’s Explore This

This is ME when I have committed a RIGHT decision:
There was a situation when I decided to help a friend who was going through a tough
time. They had been struggling with their studies, and I knew they needed support.
When I made the decision to reach out and offer help, I felt confident that it was the right
thing to do. I thought to myself, "This is a good way to show that I care and be a
supportive friend."
I felt a sense of warmth and pride as I spent time with them, guiding them through their
challenges. My body felt relaxed, and I noticed a genuine sense of calmness. I remained
patient and listened actively, making sure they felt heard and understood. As a result,
my friend improved and thanked me for my support. It felt like a meaningful experience
that strengthened our relationship.
This is ME when I have committed a WRONG decision:
I once chose to avoid addressing a conflict with a close friend, thinking it would resolve
on its own. When I was in the situation, I was unsure and hesitant. Thoughts like, “Maybe
it’ll get better on its own” kept running in my head, but deep down, I knew I should
confront the issue.
Emotionally, I felt anxious and uneasy, as I was avoiding a problem that needed
attention. I took no immediate action, hoping the situation would improve without
intervention. However, the issue escalated, and eventually, it caused more harm to the
relationship. My body felt tense, and I noticed my heart rate quicken when I thought
about the unresolved issue.

Processing Questions
1. From making the right decision, I realized that taking action to help others brings a
sense of fulfillment and strengthens relationships. On the other hand, avoiding problems
or not making the right choice can lead to anxiety and more complications in the long
run.
2. The right decision helped me build a stronger, trusting relationship with my friend, and
it gave me a sense of accomplishment. The wrong decision caused tension and regret,
teaching me the importance of addressing issues early on and facing challenges head-
on.
3. If given the chance, I would make the same right decision again because it brought
positive results and strengthened my values of helping others. As for the wrong decision,
I would change my approach by confronting issues earlier, as I now understand the long-
term benefits of addressing problems promptly.
· What I Have Learned
1. I will take more time to think through my options before making decisions.
2. I will consider the long-term consequences of my actions.
3. I will seek advice from others to gain different perspectives.
4. I will trust my instincts but balance them with rational thinking.
5. I will learn from past decisions, both good and bad, to improve my judgment.
· Share Your Thoughts and Feelings
*A right decision for me is... one that aligns with my values and benefits both me and
others.
*It is OK to commit a wrong decision as long as... I learn from it and use it to grow and
make better choices in the future.
*From now on, I will own my decision by... taking responsibility for my choices, being
accountable for the outcomes, and learning from each experience.

Module 7: Responsibility and Respect to Break the Silence

· Let’s Try This

a. Human rights give people the authority to speak and do whatever they want.
I believe that human rights allow individuals to express themselves freely, but they come
with responsibilities. While people have the right to speak and act, their actions should
not infringe on the rights and well-being of others. Rights should be exercised with
respect and consideration for others.
b. It is the sole responsibility of the government to educate the people about its rights
and responsibilities.
I think the government plays a major role in educating the people about their rights and
responsibilities, but it’s not solely their responsibility. Schools, families, and communities
should also contribute to educating individuals. Everyone should be aware of their rights
and duties to make informed decisions.
c. Bills or memorandums are intended to keep people safe.
I agree that bills and memorandums are intended to ensure safety and well-being. They
are created to protect individuals, maintain order, and promote fairness in society.
However, their effectiveness depends on how they are enforced and whether they serve
the true interests of the people.

crucial to understand and respect these laws for the well-being of everyone.
2. Following laws ensures safety, fairness, and the protection of rights. It promotes peace
and order in society, preventing chaos and harm. When laws are respected, individuals'
rights are protected, and a sense of justice is maintained.

Module 8: The POweR (Positivity, Optimism and Resiliency) to Cope

· Let’s Explore This

Activity 1: Everyday Heroes
Story:
I remember a story about my neighbor, who lost his job during the pandemic and was
struggling to make ends meet. Despite the challenges, he remained optimistic. He
started a small online business selling handmade crafts and became resourceful by
learning new skills. Even though the journey wasn’t easy, he kept a positive attitude,
always smiling and encouraging others in the community. His resilience inspired many,
including me, to stay hopeful and push through difficult times. His story taught me that
challenges are a part of life, but how we respond to them determines our success.

Processing Questions:
1. How do you feel after sharing with your family members?
After sharing, I felt proud and hopeful. It was inspiring to hear how others also overcame
their difficulties, and it made me feel connected to my family in a deeper way.
2. What have you gathered from the sharing?
I learned that everyone faces challenges, but it’s the mindset that makes a difference.
Positivity and resilience can help us bounce back from hard times and make us stronger.
3. How can you further improve your sense of positivity, optimism, and resilience?
I can improve by focusing on solutions rather than problems, practicing gratitude every
day, and seeking support from others when needed. I will also try to stay active and keep
learning new things to adapt to changing situations.
Activity 2: #OkayKaPa?
Processing Questions:
1. After the #OkayKaPa activity, I felt more connected to myself and my family. It was
comforting to know that someone cares enough to check in on me. Embracing myself
also helped me reflect on how I truly feel, and it made me realize the importance of self-
awareness.
2. It’s important to update and check on yourself and others to ensure mental and
emotional well-being. Regularly checking in helps prevent feelings of isolation and allows
for open communication, which can lead to better understanding and support in tough
times.
3. I can use this in my daily life by taking a few moments each day to check in with
myself, asking how I am really feeling, and offering the same to my family or friends. It
encourages emotional connection, helps manage stress, and builds a support system
where everyone feels heard and cared for.

Module 9: It’s You and I that Makes the World Go Round

· What I Have Learned

1. Why is volunteerism and self-empowerment important in organizing school-community
development projects?
Volunteerism and self-empowerment are crucial in organizing school-community
development projects because they encourage active participation and initiative.
Volunteers help build a sense of responsibility and teamwork, which are essential for
successful projects. When individuals feel empowered, they take ownership of tasks,
contribute their skills, and motivate others to get involved, leading to more impactful and
sustainable community development efforts.
2. How can you influence other students to participate in school-community development
projects?
To influence other students, I can lead by example, actively participating and showing
the benefits of being involved, such as gaining new skills and making a positive impact. I
can also share success stories of past projects, emphasizing how small contributions can
lead to meaningful changes. Additionally, creating a sense of excitement and fostering a
supportive environment will help encourage others to join in and feel like their
involvement matters.
