a)I’m disabled because I easily give in to temptation. But, I try to fight out the temptation. Although, my parents think I am a good boy, I still believe in that. I know that I could still change this trait.
b)It taught me that I actually can’t control myself fully yet. It also taught me that I lack in faith in God.
c)I can inspire others to not give in to temptation because it will always be bad in the end. Also, inspire others to increase their faith in God.

1. My brokeness is that I am not good at teamwork. Whenever I have group projects, I get really annoyed. I get annoyed because, sometimes O do not trust my groupmates if they will do their assigned tasks. I also get annoyed because, sometimes my groupmates don't listen to my ideas.
2. I learned that without teamwork, I will not be succesful. I also learned that by not trusting my temamates, it can hurt their feelings.
3. I can strive to work as a team more often. I can also be more open to my groupmates and trust them.

My brokenness is that I am not that good in Filipino. I don’t know a lot of words in Filipino and my
grammar is not really good. In Filipino is where I got the lowest grade and keeps me from being part of
the honors. When I speak, I can’t really find the correct word because of my vocabulary. This brokenness
taught me that there is always a major flaw in a normal person and no one can be absolutely perfect. It
also taught me that there is a person who may have the same flaw as anyone and they could help each
other for that and for example, my mother also had a hard time in Filipino when she was young. I can
tell others, through my brokenness, that to never be sad at your fate and instead accept that no one can
be perfect. In my case, I am still happy and proud to my language as I love everything else in my country.

a) a) My brokenness is that I am usually nervous during big events and I usually lack of confidence. This is because I really get scared in front of people during presentations and sometimes screw up the performance. I also lack confidence because I always think what happens when I make a mistake and how embarrassing it is when people laugh at me. Another reason is that I sometimes think that other people are so much better than me and will look down on me whenever I fail.
b) My brokenness taught me to be more confident and to always do my best. It also taught me that I lack faith and trust in myself so I should believe more that I could do better and that there is always room for improvement.
c) With my imperfections, I can inspire others to be more confident and to increase their trust on themselves that they could do better. Another result would be that they would be inspired to be more independent on themselves.

I cannot speak in Filipino. I am a Filipino that cannot speak his own language, and it is that way that I am broken. I cannot speak to my own people in my own language. I may be able to speak well in English but I cannot speak my own native language it is embarrassing. It has taught me that even though I cannot speak my own native language I can still be a Filipino in other ways. It has also taught me that I am perseverant as I will always keep trying to learn Filipino. I could inspire them by showing that even though you are different you are still the same as everyone else in some way. This will help them never give up even if they are different from other people.

a) One of the brokenness or disability I have is eating a lot. I always eat fast food, junk food, healthy food, sweets and a lot more. I also complain that I am always hungry. I do not take my time in chewing my food, instead I gobble up my food. Until now, I still have this disability.
b) I learned that my parents are really loving and caring because even if I became stout, they did not scold me. I also learned that sometimes, my classmates can be really mean, because they insulted me by calling me names.
c) Since people insulted me, I felt bad, so I began exercising regularly and eating healthier meals. You can overcome your problems if you believe you can always find a solution.

My brokenness is that I am unfit. Like Stephen Hawking, I am physically unable to do things that most people are expected to do.This disables me because I can let my friends down when I cannot do simple things to help them. It limits me and my ability to help the person I am with. I can also give them a hard time because since I am very unfit, I am a bit more "high maintenance". Another brokenness I have is that I tend to put things off. This disables me because I cannot maximize my potential. This happens because I procrastinate and rush things at the last moment.

Although, I'm not disabled physically, I am spiritually. My disability is my laziness. It's not uncommon to see this with kids my age. It's a disability that is present in my generation. The reason I'm lazy is that back when I was in kindergarten, everything was so easy that I didn't need to study. This also continued to Prep and Grade 1. Now, its a part of my personality. I can override it but not for long. Although, it does teach me something. High intelligence isn't always good. Somehow, I can even inspire others because of my disability. I could show them that you don't need intelligence to be successful, and it can even make you worse. This could make others more confident about themselves and their futures.
