Module 1 - What would you like to be 5 years from now? (hopes, aspirations, wishes)

   Five years from now, I would like to be a stable person--stable in the sense that I already have a stable job which could support my basic needs and can at least provide me a comfortable, if not bountiful, living. I also am hoping to have a stable business to attend to in which I could apply the knowledge I learned in school and could use the skills that I have developed little by little through the years. I’m aspiring to be an independent, responsible individual and all these wishes and hopes of mine are dedicated to my family and loved ones. I just don't dream for myself but also for them. So to give back the sacrifices, love, care, and supports they have given me today, I am aspiring, in return, to support my family and loved ones in any ways and in all aspects,  for them also to enjoy a comfortable life like the one I dream to have. Also, I want to enjoy and live life to the fullest by acquiring things that I've longed to have and by doing things that I've longed to do since as of now, I still don’t have the resources to make things happen and eventually enjoy it. I like to travel to places with scenic views and buy things for myself which would serve as my own treat to all my hard works and sacrifices. And of course, I hope to have a happy and united family that I can call my own five years from now. Maybe after acquiring the hopes, wishes and aspirations for myself and my family, I would decide to lie low and seek for complete stability with someone I love and someone who loves me unconditionally in return.

Module 1 - If you are to develop a program to promote moral values, what program would you do and why?

    To promote morality to humanity, we should first educate the young since younger generations can start being righteous and eventually bring this righteousness until their adult days. So if, I were to develop a program/software to promote morality, the target users of the program would be the youth. Therefore, since younger generations are already aware of computer games whether be it online or offline, I would develop a game which could be played offline. This game would contain teachings on righteousness; basically it would be full of pictures and colors to attract children. Users may be asked about the picture, or they may be asked to differentiate among pictures which are righteous. After answering, there would be explanations and teachings.

Module 1 - If you are a machine, what would you be and why?

   If I were a machine, I would be a motorcycle/vehicle. It is because I consider myself an adventurous person, a person who wanted to seek adventures in life to find, discover and experience new things. A person who doesn’t just want to enjoy life on my own preference and living on and with the things I love to do but a person who also wants to help those close to my heart acquire things that they wanted for them to be happy and enjoy life. As a motorcycle/vehicle, the person who owned me would naturally use me to take him/her into places he/she wanted to go. So eventually, I would experience traveling adventurously and be happy, finding new things along the way and at the same time helping the person owning me arrive to his/her preferred destination. I would then call life as a “joy ride” since life is too short for us to be lonely. Enjoy life to the fullest and be happy!
