SPREAD OF

BREAKDOWNS

This was the truth about my first quarter, so many ups and downs. I would get my grades

which

are

Superb

and

Exemplary but then I go back to not understanding

anything.

There

were

times where I felt I was falling behind because it seemed so easy for others.

Despite having these breakdowns it has been a wonderful TAAG experience.

Cite an experience when you exhibited attitude and skills that allowed you to successfully solve a problem in a Problem Solving Worksheet, a Problem Set or a Summative Assessment. How can this attitude or skills be used in problems beyond this course?

During the Problem Solving Worksheet 1, I was putting a lot of pressure on myself. There was a lot going on personally, I was at the hardest time of my adjustment. I ended up overthinking the problem which lead me to be confused. I was really pressured and I wanted to just give up with it but I was determined and persevered to get it done. I thought about it for a long time but I only realized that what I was thinking about was too far when I went back to the problem. Somehow I was thinking about finding the hypotenuse, when in fact I only needed to find the value of x and y.

It took me day to understand that, but I cleared my mind went back to the lesson, the problem, and then started solving again. I knew I wanted that superb mark, I was determined to get that E at the end of the quarter. Looking back at it now, if I hadn't persevered through that misunderstanding, then I wouldn't know what I was capable of. I wouldn't know that it is possible for me to get the perfect mark. Because of that, I learned that the only way to reach our goal is to keep going.

Beyond

academics,

perseverance

and

determination

are

very

important. We go through a lot in our lives and the hard times are inevitable, these values or attitudes are what will keep us going. We all have set goals, and with that are setbacks, we must be determined enough to understand that it really isn't an easy journey but it will be worth it in the end. We just have to push and persevere through all the hardships. Once we know what we want and we face them with these skills, there's no stopping us to get it. If a small math problem can be solved with these attitudes and skills, so can the real life problems we will

DETERMINATION

have in the future.

I CARE FOR OTHERS

Describe your working relationship with your group mates and classmates during the term. How can this experience allow me to reach out to others outside of my class?

I think that I and my groupmates and classmates have a really good relationship, for me, we really connect with each other.

For the first problem set, I was paired with Mariel which was very fun. We were both struggling but we managed to find a solution. We had to answer the sixth problem and it took us a while to get it. If I remember correctly, we came up with our solutions at midnight and we called it our "lightbulb" moment. This was very memorable because since then, every time there's a problem we can't solve, we would tell each other : "kaya mo 'yan, magkaka-lightbulb moment ka rin!". I think that my experience with this specific problem set and being paired with Mariel best describes my relationship with the people around me.

From what I've seen in the past months, San Vitores is a really supportive and encouraging class which is what I would consider a good relationship. Besides that, I think that because Mariel and I created different solutions, we were able to learn from each other and that it can be solved that way as well. This also applies to the class, we learn from each other. Finally, I can say that San Vitores is united even only after two months. I say this because I can see that we get stressed together, but relax together. After midterms, we got to hangout on discord where we got to bond more without the academics and just completely chill. At least for a night, we forgot about our requirements.

I think that my overall experience with them made me realize how important it is to have people around you who support and encourage you; people who you can learn from and you grow with. It feels like a family to me, the "we're all in this together'' type which is something I want to make others feel. Because of what I have realized and experienced, it allows me to reach out to others outside my class and I want to be THAT person for them. I truly value the relationship I have with my class right now, I can see that we will all bloom together.

I WANT OTHERS TO EXPERIENCE THE RELATIONSHIP OUR CLASS HAS

good relationships good outcomes

In my case, the midterm or Summative Assessment 1 was difficult because I was badly struggling that week. Even before the day it was given I was so worried and I felt so unprepared because there was so much to do. Not to mention, but this was my first midterm of this type in my whole life.

What I did is , as early as 3 days before it was given, I started studying. because this was the way I knew how to handle it and get it out of my mind. I had study sessions with my friends where we discussed about the topics. Apart from that, there were days where I was studying alone and staying up all night (which was really bad). This caused me to be really tired by the time that I actually had to do the midterm.

The first time I saw it I genuinely thought that it was quite easy, but no, I was wrong. Halfway through it , my mind completely shut off. I acknowledged the fact that I was tired and that I couldn't think straight and chose to step away for a while. Overall, I think that it helped because of the result I got.

I would just like to add that most of my breakdowns from the previous page were within just that week. It was something majorly new, something I didn't know how to handle. At this point in time or week I knew I had to let my parents know how I felt. The day before the midterm I told my mom all about how I felt, I knew I had to do this because the weight on my chest was too heavy for me to think straight while answering. I told them I was tired, pressured, and felt that everything I'm doing is wrong. Doing so helped a lot, they reassured me that it's okay not to get perfect because they are so proud of me. I think talking to my parents about it just made me feel better and

regain the strength for midterms. They've always

supported me and really helped me to pursue Ateneo so I wanted to make them proud.

They don't pressure me to getting perfect or high

grades but I think that getting these grades is the best way for me to thank and return to them all that they have done for me. They know that I am capable to get these grades and I can feel that they believe in me.

Since opening up to them, they have showed more that they are proud of me even with my small victories. I noticed this a lot especially when I got my result, they couldn't stop talking about it because of how proud they are which I appreciate a lot.

Recently, it was time for finals and again I felt unprepared. I did the same thing I did for the midterm (study, but this time not so late) and I also got to interact with the ASHS community because of the Math Org and the reviewers they had which was so helpful.

Name a lesson or a skill that you have mastered this term.

How can you use this concretely in the community or your future workplace?

I CONTRIBUTE

This term I think that I have mastered patience and understanding. By understanding, I do not only mean the lessons but my peers as well. There are times where I had a hard time understanding that is why patience is also a skill I've mastered. I had to be patient to be able to understand and figure out the solution or how I can help.

I think that I mastered these skills because of proving. It really isn't my strength so I had to take my time. It honestly frustrated me that I was having a hard time with it since it wouldn't be the first time I am encountering proving.

Because of that, I've learned to take my time in understanding why the equation came. I had to be patient with myself especially because this process is long.

Just recently was the final and again, proving, it was so scary for me so I did the practice exercises to the point that I fell asleep while doing it so I decided to stop. I honesty think it helped that I did not get frustrated when I couldn't get it and instead was patient and understood it because I found the proving part quite easy now. I found that patience gives us clarity, in applying this to our life we can easily ground ourselves and process what is happening around us.

These skills will be helpful in the future and in the community because we all are going through difficult things and we have to understand that. By being patient, we are understanding that we are going at different paces but we will all reach that goal in the end.

I see that in my future career these skills wouldn't help me because I will be working alongside co-workers who go at a different pace than me. Let's say that I have a project with someone who doesn't easily understand what we have to do, by being patient and understanding towards them, we can execute the project well and it will allow me to create a memorable and good relationship with them. In turn, they wouldn't be scared to work with me again. For me, these skills help me solve problems as well as reach out and help more people.

I CREATE

Check out the GIF here: https://bit.ly/michcreates This is a GIF that shows the passing of our days which represents the most important thing I've learned this term. There is no need for us to rush, there will be another day, a better day, so pace yourself and take it day by day.

This term I really had a hard time because I had to adapt and adjust. I've learned so much about my subjects, but most importantly I learned more about myself. Out of all that I learned, the most important thing I learned is to pace myself.

I've always been one who pushes through everything, literally giving it my all, getting it done quickly and not thinking about how I am doing mentally. I noticed that my mental health was suffering thus the many mental breakdowns.

This wasn't well for me and I know that if I do not learn to take it slowly I may not be able to give out my best.

TAAG is not the easiest subject out there. I've always loved and have been interested in math but I can't deny that there were days when I hated it. I had days when I just felt like I didn't know how to do math, especially during module 3 because it felt like it was released quicker than I am used to. I remember seeing the lesson and just felt that I was falling behind even if I was right on track. I kept reminding myself to take it slow, go at my own pace, and there is still tomorrow. I found that taking it one day at a time, at my own pace helped to fully digest the lesson. I think that this is very obvious with the score I got for the OFQ 2, it isn't perfect but it is still high.

There is nothing wrong with failing today and trying again tomorrow. Maybe today is just not your day but always remember, the sun will fall and rise again tomorrow, so will you.

This term I learned to value my time, take it day by day, and that it is OKAY to rest. Learning this, I have gotten to take care of my mental health which I genuinely think led me to bring out my best even more. Seeing the grades that I have had in OFQs, PSWs, PS, and SA 1, just showed how much more I can do when I take things slow. Yes, everything still feels overwhelming and heavy but I've learned that taking it day by day lessens this. Because of that, I can do more not only for myself but for others as well.

Just like in solving math problems, there are steps in full solution that when we skip we may not arrive to the correct final answer. In life I see that these steps are each day, some day we will reach our hopes, goals, and dreams but we cannot skip a day. Although we might not figure it out just yet, we can take our time because we will get there in the right time.

Remember: the only way out is through, have the courage and face it.

TAAG TAAG TAAG TAAG TAAG teaches you life lessons: be determined to reach your goal, persevere through all the difficulties, be patient with yourself and the people around you, and be understanding

connected and united us as a class

taught me to go at my own pace, one day at a time

is more than just math created meaningful and good relationships

teaches us to be critical and logical to solve real-life problems

showed me that we will reach our goal

special mention : taught me to see things from different perspectives (because of mathematical induction where you have to be creative)

TO: MA'AM PAVIA Hi Ma'am!

I just want to tell you that my journey and experience with TAAG was so memorable. This wouldn't be possible without you, I appreciate all of your efforts.

The situation we are in right now is not at all easy but because of your efforts, I still managed to learn. I may not be able to use some of the lessons but I will surely carry with me the life lessons I learned.

I enjoyed every moment I had in TAAG even if sometimes I couldn't understand. I hope that your next classes would have a similar experience, and enjoy it aswell.

Again, thank you for such a wonderful experience Ma'am Pavia! See you next semester!
