WHAT IS SELF AWARENESS?

Proffering my own perspective, self-awareness is having the capability to discern your
inner self, actions, emotions, thoughts, behaviors, values, preferences, goals, strengths,
challenges, attitudes, mindsets, and so forth—and how these factors catalyze your personal
behavior and choices. Moreover, I perceive that this is a process that allows individuals to know
what their strengths and weaknesses are through divulging their true selves. An individual will
be able to determine and discover to what extent he/she knows about herself/himself, since
she/he has the capacity to put herself/himself in perspective clearly and rationally through
introspection or self-assessment. If an individual is completely aware in her/his life, she/he will
be able to objectively gauge herself/himself, manage her/his emotions, align her/his behavior
to the values instilled by our society, and absolutely understand how others perceive her/him.
The worksheet has six simple questions that can help someone delve into these ideas.
1. What is one of your sparks? (passion, interests, talents)
My ultimate spark in life is being passionate about my education, which has been driving
me to always do my best to achieve greater things in life. I am certain that achieving your
dreams only starts to spark when you start investing all your passion in education.
2. How did you discover that this is one of your sparks?
The passion that I hold for education ignited when I started to perceive how hard our lives
are, and without financial stability, your life will be down in the dumps. Upon assessing my
life, I have abundant reasons to become successful, most especially because I was raised by a
single parent and I owed my sister to provide her with a comfortable life—oppositely from
what I have right now.
3. How do you feel when you are doing your spark?
All my academic triumphs and victories are the fruits of my trials in life, and every time I
accomplish or achieve something, this gives me the satisfaction and validation that I am
craving. Furthermore, this motivates me to achieve more and to do better until I master
whatever circumstance is given to me, regardless of how arduous the process may be.
4. Think somebody who is really into their spark/passion. Describe what you see.
One of the people that I always look up to is my aunt, who is currently working in the
United States, because she is driven with burning passion and a desire to give our grandmother
a comfortable life, who sadly passed away two years ago. She is the type of person who always
values the essence of family, she is willing to always extend her helping hands whenever
someone in our family needs her support; and she stood as my second parent by spoiling me
with my luxuries in life and whenever I asked for financial help with my academic needs.
5. Do you have a spark champion (an adult who helps you explore and develop your
self-awareness skills)? If yes, describe how this person helps you.
One of the focal persons who helped me explore and develop my awareness was my
grandmother. She was the great motivator of my life, who taught me the values and morals that
I will constantly engrave in my heart and in my mind. She was the type of person who puts
immense emphasis on how someone should value himself/herself and the importance of having
a good relationship with others. I am certain that most of the positive qualities that I have today
are the fruit of the unending reminder that "People will always remember you when you are
kind, even when you’re already cherishing your afterlife."
6. Do you set goals and make plans to get better at your spark/talent? If yes, give me
an example.
As someone who always puts his heart into his passion, it is inseparable for me to set goals
and make plans in order to pave the way that I’m into. It is my goal to always strive harder with
respect to my academic performance because this is a possession that will immensely benefit
me in the latter part of my endeavor as a nursing student. Moreover, I always make my plans
accordingly, and I always ensure that I will achieve this gradually as I cope with the various
phases of my life. For instance, every time examinations are approaching, my plans are to study
all the given topics and concepts, especially those that I find hard to understand. Moreover, at
the moment I entered the College of Nursing, my ultimate goal was to become a registered
nurse, regardless of the hardships that I might encounter along the way.

• 5 years from now, who are you?
Indeed, it is really hard to discern what my life would be after 5 years. Nevertheless, as of
now, my top priority is to finish my Bachelor of Science in Nursing program on time because
I have to take over the responsibility for my aging mother, who has provided for all of my
needs throughout my college journey. After graduating, my next priority is to pass the
Nursing Licensure Exam along with my batch mates in just a single take, and if God permits,
I want to become a top notcher of our batch. Once I obtain my license, I will look for a job
where I can even further develop my skills and proficiency. With that, I will be able to
provide something for my family’s table. After gaining enough experience, I will try to enter
a public hospital institution for a fair enough salary because, at that time, I need to provide
for all the needs of my sister.
In addition, I will take a licensure examination that will allow me to work abroad. This
narrative has been the main reason why a lot of people want to pursue nursing, because of the
extensive opportunities that other countries are providing for Filipino nurses. With this, I will
be able to provide my family with a comfortable life where my mother doesn’t have to work
and my sister will have a life that I wasn’t able to glimpse. I want to return all the sacrifices
that my mother had to withstand, and it’s a perfect time to pave my mother’s way into the life
that I’ve been dreaming of since then. I have the highest hopes that this exact scenario of how
I have foreseen myself will not just be written here and will not remain just a dream after 5
years.
