Questions of Angela Bembenuto

Inter Generational Relationship:

1.       What is the biggest problem that your family encountered and how your family overcomes with that problem?

-          I think when we have a family problem. It is normal to have this kind of problem but I hate this, everyone hates this. I hate when I see my father and mother fighting to each other not physically but verbally. As their child its hard for me to hear that kind of words coming from them. If we have a problem all of us were suffering. It really affects to our harmonious relationship. But then we try to settle our problem, we talk to each other and try to understand each other in order for us to solve our problem. Then after that we come to realize our mistakes.

Questions of Jessica Flores

Family Structure:

1.       How are you going to maintain good interaction within your family?

-          To maintain good interaction with my family, I think in the family it is important to have a regular conversation. Talk to each other, understand each other and if you have a problem share it with your family so that they will give you an advice for what you are going to do. I will respect them, help them and follow their rules and regulations so that we maintain the good harmonious relationship within our family.

2.       Is it good to have a pattern of leadership and power manifest in the family? Why?

-          Yes, I think so but not that so autocratic approach. If there’s a pattern of leadership of course there’s a supervision and guidance as well as proper discipline within the family. The parent should provide rules and regulations and the children are responsible to follow that rules. It is in the parent’s responsibility to instill the positive attitudes of their child.

3.       You as a future educator, how are you going to develop self-esteem of your students?

-          There are two types of self-esteem the high and low self -esteem. Of course I will develop their high self-esteem. I will develop their self confident and think positive in everything that they do. I will encourage them to participate in the class and in different classroom activity for them to develop also their talents and skills.

M.O.L.E

          Based on my happy thoughts I realized that there’s a lot of things that I need to understand. Although there’s a lot of problem that I experienced but then I’m still blessed. I take that experiences as a challenge in my life to continue hoping and live to survive. I’ve learned that beyond all the circumstances you don’t need to give up instead smile and always remember that everything that happen to us has a purpose. In this kind of sharing I know my strengths  and weaknesses and I know how to handle my own problems. I noticed that some of my classmate becomes emotionally when they talked about their  family. I think the reason is the family is very important to all of us. If theres a problem in the family all of us were suffering. I also learned that time is important so that I need to cherish every moment in my life. I realized that I need to face all the challenges beyond all the problems because I believe that the more pain I overcome the more strong person I become.
