Module 1 Enhancing the Self Lesson 1, Day 1 RECOGNIZING ROLES IN LIFE

LESSON 1 RECOGNIZING ROLES IN LIFE You, like others, have important roles to play that make you interested in shaping yourself to become a healthy and developed young adult. Learning how to recognize and to perform your roles effectively is a good indicator that you’re a responsible individual using even your past experiences to make a difference in your life. This can enhance your understanding of the world. Somehow you have to continue finding out just what it is that fits you. So, whatever it is that you do with significance, willingly and graciously, you have to prove to yourself and to others that you can excel. Try your best. Concentrate on ways to perform well. You’ll sure feel better if you do. In this lesson, you will find a poem, an informative article, and tasks/activities that will build your understanding of the value of recognizing and performing roles in life, at the same time, develop your listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing, grammar and literary skills. Hopefully, these can be demonstrated through a Community Services Brochure.
