a l e i r b a G Hello, I'm Cassandra Geli, an 18-year-old embarking on my first year in college, pursuing a degree in BS Psychology. Originally hailing from Calamba, Laguna, I've chosen Baguio City as my new academic home. I believe in the transformative power of exploration, not only as a way to connect with myself but also to unearth inner peace and rediscover my true identity.

As I navigate through this exciting phase of my life, I see exploration not only as a journey of self-discovery but also as a catalyst for personal growth and learning.

Currently, I'm delving into my skills and passions, finding joy in adventurous pursuits that allow me to decipher the meaning behind the things in my surroundings and the vast world we live in.

I am Francine Ann B. Mendoza and this is my one of a kind journey shaped by ups and downs.

I come from the beautiful province of Pangasinan, where diverse cultures and stunning landscapes are a part of everyday life.

In our parish community at St. Ildephonse Parish in Malasiqui, Pangasinan, I play a role as a lector and commentator. There, I once stood as a pillar of the Youth Ministry, weaving dreams with the vibrant threads of encouragement, inspiring the young souls to find meaning in life and embrace a sense of purpose.

I am currently a first year BS Psychology student, with a goal of becoming a helping professional, reaching out to those in need. My shelves are adorned with a diverse collection of personal development books, a testament to my insatiable appetite for understanding the human psyche.

My journey is led by values of devotion, commitment, and compassion, guiding me through life's unpredictable twists and turns. When life throws challenges, I faced them with hope, and optimism, eagerly anticipating the unfolding chapters of what the future holds.

As I take each step in this journey of faith, it is like turning a page of a book, revealing more about what's to come.

Hey there! I'm Kharl, a 19-year-old college enthusiast diving headfirst into the captivating world of psychology.

Born with a curious mind and an insatiable appetite for understanding the intricacies of human behavior, I've found my passion in unraveling the mysteries of the mind. From Freud to Skinner, I'm on a journey to explore the depths of psychology, not just as a subject but as a lens to better understand myself and the world around me.

When I'm not buried in textbooks, you'll likely find me in animated discussions about the fascinating aspects of cognition, emotions, and everything in between. Join me in this adventure of self-discovery and intellectual exploration as I navigate the realms of psychology at the ripe age of 19.

“In moments of uncertainty, I found solace in the teachings of Sacred Scripture.”

As I delved into my faith journey through the Introduction to Sacred Scripture, I felt a profound connection with God. It was as if the words on those pages were a direct line to the divine, guiding me through the intricacies of life.

Each passage revealed spiritual insights that seemed tailor-made for my journey, as if God Himself was speaking directly to my heart. In moments of uncertainty, I found solace in the teachings of Sacred Scripture. The moral and ethical lessons provided a compass for my decisions, and I sensed God's guidance in every choice I made. The sacred words became a source of strength, shaping my character and influencing my interactions with the world.

There were times when the study of Sacred Scripture felt like a personal dialogue with God. In the quiet moments of reflection, I sensed His presence, offering comfort and understanding. The sacred texts became more than just words; they were a living, breathing expression of divine love and wisdom. As I engaged in communal worship and shared discussions about the sacred texts with others, the sense of God's presence magnified. The collective experience of exploring the scriptures within a faith community reinforced the idea that we were all on this spiritual journey together, guided by the same divine wisdom.

Through the study of Sacred Scripture, I witnessed not only the transformation of my beliefs but also a profound transformation within myself. It was as if God, through the sacred words, was actively shaping me into a better version of myself, aligning my life with the values and principles embedded in the scriptures.

In summary, my journey through the Introduction to Sacred Scripture became a deeply personal and spiritual experience. Through the sacred texts, I felt a continuous and intimate connection with God, guiding me, shaping me, and illuminating my path with divine wisdom.

“The sacred scripture mirrors the transformative narrative of my own life,” Within the verses of this poem, my personal journey becomes connected with the creation of a sacred scripture, embodying the intricate relationship between self-discovery and divine guidance. The imprints of the chisel on the stone of my soul serve as a metaphor for the molding of my experiences—both moments of joy and trials—into a resilient masterpiece. In the quiet chambers of reflection, I discern the hand of God directing the sculptor's tools, transforming imperfections into grace and shadows into light. The sacred scripture mirrors the transformative narrative of my own life, where each etched line on the canvas of my being bears witness to God's unwavering presence. It narrates a profound connection with the divine, a journey where God walks alongside me, shaping the story of my existence into a sacred and evolving work of art.

It felt like God was saying, "See, I've been guiding you through this journey, and there's so much more ahead."

I saw God in the small victories. The times when I discovered a passion that I never knew I had. It felt like God was saying, "See, I've been guiding you through this journey, and there's so much more ahead." And let's not forget the tough times,the rejections, the heartbreaks, and the moments when I questioned everything. But even in those dark moments, there was a flicker of hope, a reminder that this is just a chapter, not the whole story. It's like God was saying, "Trust me, I've got a plan, even if you can't see it right now." Looking back on this college journey, I realize that God was my constant companion.

In the highs and lows, the successes and failures, I was never alone. It's comforting to know that there's a bigger picture, a divine plan unfolding, and that God has been walking beside me every step of the way.

In the halls of books and midnight thoughts, A college journey where uncertainty knots.

At nineteen, a soul in search, yet not alone, For beside me walks a presence, God is known.

Through pages turned, and lessons learned, In classrooms where wisdom is earned.

In the echo of laughter, in the silence of fears, God's whispers echo in tender, loving cheers.

Exams that challenge, dreams that soar, God's hand guides me, forevermore.

In friendships woven, connections deep, His company, a treasure I'll forever keep.

Amidst the chaos of life's complex rhyme, I find solace in the whispers of Divine.

Through setbacks faced, and victories sweet, With every heartbeat, His rhythm does beat.

So, here's to the journey, the college ride, With God by my side, in Him, I confide.

Nineteen and fearless, facing the unknown, With faith as my compass, His love, my own.

This creative form portray of mine is how I can express my inner thoughts and feelings to the deepest level with God.

He is the quiet whisper in the rustling leaves, the warmth of a stranger's smile, and the gentle nudge that propels us toward compassion.

In the tapestry of everyday life, God, in a form so deeply human that we might overlook the divine essence within, journeys with us. He is the quiet whisper in the rustling leaves, the warmth of a stranger's smile, and the gentle nudge that propels us toward compassion. As we traverse the busy streets, God accompanies us, providing comfort during times of distress and motivation when confronted with difficulties. He is the unseen force that guides our paths toward development and comprehension, as well as the silent companion who shares our sorrows and happiness during our times of solitude.

In the realm where time unfolds, a tale of grace untold, A journey with the Son of God, in human form, He strolled.

From heavens high to earthly sod, with love His story scrolled, A narrative of mercy's dance, a sacred script, unrolled.

In manger's humble, quiet hush, a baby's cry began, The Son of God, a human touch, salvation's wondrous plan.

A carpenter, a simple trade, with calloused hands, He spanned, The gap between the divine and dust, the Savior of all man.

Through dusty roads, a dusty sand, He walked with weary feet, A teacher wise, with words like gold, love's lessons to repeat.

He touched the blind, the broken, too, made lame and lepers fleet, His healing touch, a balm for souls, a melody so sweet.

With calloused hands and healing touch, He mends the broken, loves so much.

The blind, the lame, the outcast find, Redemption's balm for hearts maligned.

In fishermen and taxmen's guise, He dines with sinners, breaks ties.

His laughter echoes through the air, A melody of love to share.

Through desert sands and stormy seas, He walks with us on bended knees.

In human trials, tempest-tossed, He whispers hope, no soul is lost.

In olive gardens, silent night, His sweat like drops of blood, A moment steeped in sacrifice, where human frailty stood.

Yet, in His words, "Thy will be done," redemption like a flood, For on a cross of cruel wood, He bore all pain and could.

The Son of God, with thorny crown, in love, His people sought, Forgiveness flowed from the wounded side, the battles dearly fought.

He conquered death, the grave's dark hold, in resurrection, caught, A triumph sung in every heart, a truth forever taught.

In every journey, every soul, the Son of God is near, In joy, in sorrow, deep and whole, His presence, everclear.

For though His footsteps left the dust, His spirit lingers here, A constant guide, a steady hand, in love that conquers fear.

So, in the echoes of the past, and in the now, we find, The Son of God, a love steadfast, for all of humankind.

Journeying with us, ever close, in heart and soul entwined, The Savior walks, beside us still, in every space and time.

CFE 101 can be applied to our daily lives as students or even after we graduate because this teaches us the building blocks on having a strong relationship with God. We do this by learning stories in the Bible and reflecting on ourselves on what we could do better to apply the things we learn from our lessons. In this second module, we're focusing into the profound concept of God as a Father and His journey with His people. It's like looking at a timeless story, where this all-powerful, allknowing being takes on the role of a caring parent, guiding and walking alongside his children through the ups and downs of life. Think about it in human terms. You know how parents guide their kids, providing support, wisdom, and sometimes a gentle nudge in the right direction? Well, it's kind of like that, but on a cosmic scale.

This module invites us to understand God not just as a distant figure in the sky but as a loving presence, intimately involved in the lives of those who seek Him. It's about recognizing that just like any good parent, God's journey with His people involves moments of joy, sorrow, growth, and learning. It's a narrative that weaves through history, linking the experiences of those who came before us with our own lives today
