FINAL PROJECT

I. PHILIPPINES (Si Mabuti)


Mabuti is an ordinary public school teacher who is trying to make her students
realized the importance of studying. She always says “mabuti”and that is the
reason why students called her Mabuti. She trying to show her positive side to
her student’s despite of problems she is encountering. I adore Mabuti on how
she can handle her problems as mother to her child and teacher to her students.
She wanted to show her students her positive side despite to being emotionally
sick because of the suffering brought me the father of her child. The conflict is
person versus to herself because the main character is hiding her emotions
towards to the circumstances. For me Mabuti is a symbol of typical person who is
suffering from a dilemma. She represents other woman of a married man. Also
she represents a woman with soft-heart but strong personality. Mabuti is a kind of
character in the story who will remind us that despite of different problems, we
must always believe in ourselves. If we will believe that we will solve it, it will
happen. She is a woman with flaws, and in reality we all have flaws. What differs
is that, Mabuti knows how to handle it. Problems are part of everyone’s life.
Some persons committed suicide to escape but in the story, it is clearly shown
that crying is just the way of Mabuti to release the pain. She is a strong woman
and continues her life believing and dreaming of her child’s future. In life, we will
achieve happiness if we know how to quit from sadness.
II. VIETNAM (Cherish daughter)
For me, being a good daughter entails reducing stress in my parent lives, staying
in contact with them, and encouraging them to do more chores. To begin with, I
recognize that the guardians primary concern is their children’s future. If
youngsters do not study hard in school, they will have poor test marks, which will
undoubtedly lead their parents to be concerned
about them. My scholastic grades were sufficient while I was in senior high
school. And I want them to be proud of me in front of them. Apart from that,
respect for one’s parents is a must have characteristic for every good son or
daughter. Children must respect and honor them parents, who gave birth to them
and raised them with untold work and dedication. Who, after
all, would give up their own meals for you, even if they were hungry? Your
parents are the only ones who know. Who would give their kidneys, or perhaps
their life, if they could at any time? No one besides your parents, for example. As
a result, anyone does not appreciate the parents is truly embarrassed and
considered as a nasty person, despite all the miraculous things that
the parents have done for their children. Always remember to be grateful to our
parents. I believe that doing chores has taught me how to care for my family and
myself. Doing chores may be fun at times because I know I can look after kids
and they are pleased of me. Housework is a form of exercise as well. Summer
vacation is approaching, and I intend to learn how to prepare certain delicacies
for my parents. They’ll be delighted to have them. My parents
have given me their entire life and all of their energy. They fed me, clothed me,
and sent me to school to learn. They did everything they could to make my life
pleasant and comfortable. When they’re elderly, I’ll be able to reciprocate their
kindness and devotion. Someday, with my patience and hard work, I’ll graduate
and I’ll return all the care and love that my parents gave
to me. I want them to give a life that they will enjoy every day. I will let them feel
that all their hard work is worth it. Someday I will make my parents proud. I will
never stop until I achieve that dream!

III. MYANMAR (The Kindergarten Teacher)


For me the first lesson I saw was one in which the children were being taught to
improve their handwriting and learn new letters and numbers at the same time.
While this was ongoing she, being the teacher of the class, instilled confidence in
the students with every opportunity she saw. For example, when writing these
new letters, she would ask each of them to circle the one that they thought was
their personal best. This not only caused the students to realize which example
was closest to the actual letter, but it also gave them a feeling of
accomplishment. This confidence will go a very long way in their lives, as well as
their academic lives where such confidence in one’s work is needed. Not only is
confidence taught by this teacher, but other life lessons are also infused with the
regular curriculum. Since the teacher is with the children all day, she takes the
time to slip in pieces of advice that are more structural, perhaps, than the
actual information being passes along. A specific time I remember noticing this
would be during the very first lesson I walked in on. The teacher, along with a
small group of students from her classroom, were all sitting around a table
playing a game to help memorize words and letters. While this was occurring one
of the children shouted, “I won! I won!” making sure the others heard him, but the
teacher quickly calmed the boy and told all of her students at the table that
throughout life you will win and you will lose but in the end what should matter is
the fun you had playing. Kindergarten is definitely full of small examples such as
these life lessons, but one cannot forget to acknowledge the curriculum as well.
Throughout the days I observed she switched lessons from handwriting to
mathematics. In each subject that was taught she had a different way of giving
examples as to how they were learned. With math, she used to count cubes and
visual aids to make the problems apply to something. With handwriting she would
always have a game in hand to associate the learning with fun and encouraging
the memorization of what is displayed. With everything that needed to be taught,
she always had some way of making the learning process more fun, which would
in turn make learning less stressful for the young minds.

IV. CAMBODIA (The Two Women Scrambled for a Baby)


After reading the story I realized how a mothers do everything for her child even
sometimes it hurts them. It makes me realize that the love of a mother gives strength
to overcome fear of the unknown and flee the family home for the sake of her
children’s safety. The love of a mother sees her child’s spirit withering at school, and
decides to homeschool her in a place of safety and belonging. The love of a mother
says I will keep you, raise you, and love you though I am neither prepared nor ready
for this job. The love of a mother carries to full term only to give her baby to those
who’ll raise him in a way she knows she cannot. The love of a mother nourishes her
baby at her breast day to day – sometimes hour to hour – though she hasn’t had
a full night’s rest in years. The love of a mother accepts her child needs more
nourishment and nutrients than she has to give, and thanks God that sometimes
formula is best. The love of a mother carefully selects ingredients and meals for her
children to help them grow strong, healthy, and boost their immune system. The love
of a mother suppresses guilt and jealousy as she drops her baby off each morning at
care. Wishing she could do that work, instead of the work that puts a roof over their
heads. The love of a mother sustains her when there is barely enough food to feed
her children, much less leftovers. The love of a mother says I will birth, love, and
cherish you though my government considers you inferior. The love of a mother says
I don’t care what other people think or say about my choices. I will do what I think is
best for you, even if it isn’t popular, because popular only counts in high school. I
realized that no one can do what your mother do for you, no one can handle your
attitude as your mother do, I realized that I really love my mother so much.
V. Malaysia (Friends (Sahabat)

After reading the story i realized that friendship is a life-line. Connecting with like-
minded people who genuinely care about one another is a gift we take for granted all
too often. Friends are people we feel good with. Some make us laugh, some hear us
out and really listen to our hearts, others support us when the going is tough, and
still others just hang with us when we need down time. A true friend holds up a
mirror in which we see ourselves. They are the ones who show us our strengths
when all we see is weakness; they point out our good character traits, like courage
and loyalty, when we are down on ourselves. They remind us of past
accomplishments and spur us on in our future. They build into our lives and we are
richer for having spent time with them. We come away with a stronger sense of “self”
because we have been together. But friends don’t just expose our good qualities;
they tell it as it is. They are the people in our lives who aren’t afraid to tell us what
they really think, who hold us accountable when were out of line. They speak the
truth in love, and in the process, make us better quot. As iron sharpens iron, so one
person sharpens another quot. It’s popular today to be sarcastic and even mean in
our comments with one another. It’s all said in the “I was only joking” way. Yet when
we come away from times with friends and admit that their words cut and hurt, we
need to evaluate our friendships. A true friend can joke and laugh with you, but the
tone changes when they laugh at you. When that happens, the reflection they hold
up to you is negative and it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. You come away with a
lesser sense of “self.”
