Suggested Time Allotment: 20 minutes

Read the story of Anton, a Senior High School graduate, then answer the processing questions.
Anton’s Indecisiveness
Anton who took up the General Academic Strand in Senior High School
has a hard time deciding what course to enroll in college. He graduated
with honors and has received special citations. He is great in Science and
Math but he is also into arts and graphic designing. He was told by his
parents to decide for his course since colleges are already closing
admission and the school opening is approaching fast.
He is spending night analyzing his options. Sometimes he barely sleeps,
over-analyzing all considerations. There are also pressures from his
friends for him to join them in the university where there are wide
variety of Science course he can choose from. He also considers the
suggestions of his teachers who see his potential in graphic designing
and multimedia arts.
Anton really wants to enroll in the most prestigious school to study the course that perfectly fits him.
After thorough self-deliberation, he comes down to two schools and four courses. But this does not
end his considerations; he still has more factors to visit.
His family and friends are starting to worry if he could ever make a final decision.
It has finally come one day when everything was in place. Anton finally decides to enroll! He hurries
to the school of his choice, but he’s an hour late! The enrollment has just closed for his first choice. To
add in more to his regrets, his second chosen program has also reached the maximum number of
students and it was closed days ago.
Sad and full of regrets, Anton goes home thinking of the lost time overthinking his options. And that is
because he can just not make up his mind.

Processing Questions:
1. Did you experience spending more time to make a decision that greatly affects you or your future just
like Anton? Share your experience.
 Yes, I experienced spending more time to make a decision that affects me when my classmates and
friend said that I should join badminton competition in school because they said that I am good in
playing badminton but I said to them that I will think about it. But, when I decided to join already, the
teacher said that the players are already complete.
2. If you are in his situation, what would be your next move?
 I will think again of things where I am good apart from my 1st and 2nd choice course and I will enroll
immediately so that I will not regret it again.

3. What should you do so you won’t face the same problem as that of Anton? i
 Now I will think about where I am good and where I am weak and I will self-deliberate on
what course I want.

What I have Learned

Suggested Time Allotment: 15 minutes
Dear Anton
Go back to the story of Anton in Let’s Try This. If you have the power to travel back in time and help him out in
choosing for the best school and course to take in college, what advise will you give him.

Answer:
I will tell him that he really needs to think carefully about what he really wants in the course because it is for
his future but he should not take too long because the enrollment will close and he will regret it cruelly for
the rest of his life
