 College life is said to be the most challenging and exciting phase of
your life. It is an entirely new adventure that everyone looks forward to.
It is a world different from your primary as well as junior and senior high
schools. Since you are in your freshman year, everything – including this
subject – is new to you. Answer these questions in your own words;

Activity 1:
What is Understanding The Self all about?

Why am I here in this subject?

Is it important in the curriculum? Yes or No? Why?

How will it help you as a student and as a person?

You belong to this university/college so it is important to know and

learn first: the Vision, Mission, and Objectives of the university and the
college, and the learning objectives of this Course from the Syllabus;

Activity 2:
In your own words, sum up and write below the Vision, Mission, and
Objectives of Romblon State University and the College of Business and
Accountancy. Declare how you can help achieve these.
 How you interact with your teachers and fellow students in your chosen
module is, likewise, so important.

Activity 3: Sharing Oneself

How to live together in peace and harmony with

In college, each of you is expected to do something for the whole
