LENS 1 — WILLIAM JAMES Material Self - My Lab Gown was one of the physical manifestations of myself that day. These may appear to be ordinary things, but they are part of my daily life as a student. My Labgown always reminds me that this is what I prayed for, and if my younger self saw me wearing it right now, I know he would be so proud. Studying medicine may be difficult, but the satisfaction of doing so is already a blessing. Social Self - My classmates influenced my behavior that day. I felt more at ease around them and was able to express myself more freely. However, I became more mindful of how I spoke and behaved in order to maintain positive relationships with them. This taught me that the people around me can influence how I present myself. Spiritual Self - My spiritual self was reflected by my sense of responsibility. Even when I was tired or didn't want to do schoolwork, I tried to finish what I had to do. I believe that being responsible is important because it demonstrates that I can be trusted. Which of the three dimensions felt most like the "real you" that day? Describe the specific moment that made you think so - That day, I felt most like my spiritual self. I always remind myself that I have the spiritual strength to continue thriving no matter what happens when I still feel the need to perform better despite feeling exhausted. My support network helped me develop a strong spirit by encouraging me to be resilient and to never stop learning because they constantly remind me that Jehovah is with me. I-Self prompt: What was happening inside your mind or awareness during that moment that other people could not directly see? - I was thinking about a lot of things in my head that were hidden from view. I was considering my academic obligations, the tasks I still had to complete, and whether I was performing well enough. On the outside, I appeared normal, but on the inside, I was thinking and worrying.Name / Nickname: Jeremy Paul M.

LENS 2 — KAREN HORNEY People usually see me as someone who... - is soft as a plush toy. I possess the softest quality, but I also possess the strongest charisma. People also view me as an inspiration because, despite failing and falling, I always manage to get back on my feet. I am very sensitive and easily broken emotionally, but I still manage to thrive and cope. I actually see myself as someone who... - thinks a lot and sometimes doubts myself. There are times when I look confident on the outside even though I am still wondering if I am doing things correctly. Sometimes, I feel that I SHOULD be... -successful and capable. I feel like I should know what I am doing, especially when it comes to school and important responsibilities. One expectation I quietly place on myself is... -that I should always do my best and avoid disappointing other people. I sometimes put pressure on myself because I want my efforts to be recognized. Where do you think this expectation came from? Name the strongest source - yourself, family, friends, school, social media, society, a specific experience, or something else - and explain why. -I think this expectation mostly comes from myself and school. As a student, I know that I have responsibilities and goals that I want to achieve. Seeing other students succeed can also make me compare myself to them. Sometimes, I feel that I have to work harder so I will not feel left behind. Describe one recent situation when you noticed yourself trying to become this idealized version of yourself. What did you do, think, or avoid? -One recent situation was when I had several school tasks to complete at the same time. Even though I felt tired and stressed, I still tried to finish everything properly. I wanted to become the version of myself who could handle everything without complaining or feeling overwhelmed. Does this expectation mostly help you grow, or does it sometimes make you criticize who you are now? Give one concrete reason. -It can help me grow because it motivates me to work harder and become more responsible. However, it can also make me criticize myself when I make mistakes. Sometimes I forget that making mistakes does not mean that I am incapable. LENS 2 — KAREN HORNEY People usually see me as someone who... - is soft as a plush toy.

LENS 4 — ALBERT BANDURA One challenge that is real for me right now - One challenge that is real for me right now is managing my schoolwork and responsibilities without becoming overwhelmed. My confidence that I can handle or improve this today: 7 / 10 1. PERFORMANCE / MASTERY A previous experience that reminds me I am capable is completing difficult school requirements even when I initially thought I could not finish them. There were times when I felt overwhelmed, but I eventually managed to complete the work. Those experiences remind me that I can handle difficult situations if I take them one step at a time. 2. VICARIOUS EXPERIENCE I have seen other students handle stressful school situations by staying organized and managing their time. I can learn from them that I do not have to finish everything at once. Planning ahead and dividing a large task into smaller tasks can make it easier. 3. VERBAL PERSUASION Encouragement from people close to me would genuinely matter. I would need to hear something simple like, “You can do this. Just take it one step at a time.” Sometimes, hearing encouragement reminds me that I am more capable than I think. 4. PHYSIOLOGICAL / EMOTIONAL STATE When I face a difficult school task, I sometimes feel nervous, pressured, or mentally tired. I may overthink the situation before actually starting. What helps me regulate myself is taking a short break, listening to music, organizing what I need to do, and reminding myself not to think about everything at once. Choose ONE small action you will realistically attempt within the next three days. Make it specific enough that you will know whether you did it - Within the next three days, I will choose one school task that I need to finish and work on it for at least 30 minutes without getting distracted by my phone. I will consider it successful if I complete that 30-minute study session. After trying it (if possible before submission): What did you learn about your ability to influence the situation? - I learned that I cannot always control how much schoolwork I have, but I can control how I respond to it. I can organize my tasks, manage my time, and decide to start instead of continuing to worry about them. Even a small action can make a difficult situation feel more manageable.

MOMENT 1 — Meeting My High School Friend Again When / Where: During the past week, when I met with my high school friend again. What happened: I was happy when I had the chance to meet my high school friend again after some time. We spent time together and bonded like we used to. One of the things we did was take care of my nephew together. While taking care of him, we talked, laughed, and helped each other. We also ate together and simply enjoyed each other's company. Even though our lives may have changed and we do not see each other as often as before, being together again felt comfortable and familiar. It reminded me of the friendship and memories we shared during high school. What this reveals about me: This moment reveals that I value meaningful relationships and appreciate people who make me feel comfortable being myself. I realized that even when I have not seen someone for a long time, I can still feel connected to them when the friendship is genuine. It also showed me that I enjoy simple moments with people I care about. I did not need an expensive activity or a special occasion to enjoy the day. Just spending time together, eating, talking, laughing, and helping each other was already meaningful to me. It also revealed that I am someone who values companionship and family. Having my friend help me take care of my nephew made the moment more special because we were not only bonding but also sharing a small responsibility. It made me appreciate having someone who is willing to spend time with me and help without making things complicated. Best lens: William James — Social Self William James' idea of the Social Self best explains this moment because the way I experienced myself was connected to my relationship with another person. Being with my old friend brought out a more comfortable and genuine side of me. I was able to talk, laugh, and act naturally because I felt familiar with her. This moment showed me that a part of who I am is shaped by the relationships I have with other people.

MOMENT 2 — Going to a Journal Supplies Shop When / Where: During the past week, when I went to a journal supplies shop. What happened: I went to a journal supplies shop and spent some time looking at the different things available. I looked through the notebooks, papers, pens, stickers, and other supplies. I eventually chose and bought some supplies that I liked and thought I could use for my journaling and school activities. I enjoyed looking at the different materials because I could choose things based on what I personally liked instead of simply buying something because I needed it. What this reveals about me: This moment reveals that I enjoy expressing myself through creative and personal things. I realized that even small objects can represent my personality and interests. The supplies I chose were not only useful; I also chose them because I liked how they looked and because I could imagine using them to make my journal more personal. It also showed me that I can be intentional with the things I value. Instead of simply picking the first supplies I saw, I took time to look around and decide what I actually wanted. I enjoyed having the freedom to choose things according to my own preferences. This made me realize that I like having things that feel personal to me and allow me to express my thoughts and creativity. Best lens: William James — Material Self William James' idea of the Material Self best explains this moment because the things I bought became an extension of how I see and express myself. The supplies I chose were objects that I personally valued and intended to use. They may be simple things, but they reflect my interests, creativity, and preferences. This shows how the things I own and value can become part of how I understand myself.

MOMENT 3 — Bonding and Night Walking at Session Road When / Where: During the past week, at Session Road, when I went out to bond and take a night walk. What happened: I went to Session Road to spend time outside and bond with the people I was with. We walked around, talked about different things, and enjoyed being outside at night. The atmosphere was different from my usual routine because I was away from school responsibilities for a while. As we walked, I was able to relax and enjoy the moment instead of thinking too much about the things I needed to accomplish. The night walk was simple, but it gave me time to appreciate my surroundings and the company of the people I was with. What this reveals about me: This moment reveals that I need and appreciate moments when I can slow down and enjoy the present. Sometimes I become focused on schoolwork, responsibilities, and other things that I need to accomplish. Because of that, I sometimes forget to give myself time to relax. Going out and walking at night reminded me that resting and spending time with people are also important. It also revealed that I enjoy simple experiences and meaningful bonding. I did not need to do something extraordinary to have a good time. Walking around, talking, looking at the surroundings, and enjoying the night were already enough to make me feel relaxed and happy. Best lens: Carl Rogers — Real Self Carl Rogers' perspective best explains this moment because it showed a side of my Real Self that I do not always get to express when I am focused on responsibilities. During the night walk, I was not trying to become a perfect student or meet anyone's expectations. I was simply enjoying the moment and being myself. This helped me recognize that my real self also includes my need to rest, connect with others, have fun, and enjoy life.

PERSONAL ARTIFACT Artifact: A picture of my actual journal I included this because... I included a picture of my actual journal because it represents a part of myself that I use to express my thoughts, feelings, ideas, and experiences. My journal is more than just a notebook because the things I write and create in it reflect my personality and the way I see and understand myself. It also connects to this activity because writing in my journal gives me a chance to reflect on my experiences and notice things about myself that I might normally overlook. It is a personal space where I can be honest with myself without worrying about how other people might see me. Through my journal, I can record simple moments, emotions, thoughts, and goals that are important to me. I chose my actual journal as my artifact because it shows that self-reflection is something I can continue doing even after this activity. It reminds me that understanding myself is an ongoing process, and I am still learning about who I am and who I want to become.
