Maglalang, Ma. Caesaria, EscalMarch 11,2011

Summary All of us met a lot of people, we tend to hate their attitude or admire qualities. We have at least someone in life that stands and become our personal role model. Their characters, personality, what they have achieved in life and the qualities they have make them worthy to become a role model. A personal role model who inspire, motivate and challenge us. The model who had a big influence in our life. We want to become like them and sometimes compare ourselves to them and think the things we need to do or to change to live in their likeable qualities. All of us want to become role model of our generation and thats the reason why we develop good values to meet the expectations of people around us.

MY PERSONAL ROLE MODEL

Everybody has a personal role model in their lives. Having a role model in life help us to be mature and to realize something in our life. The role model also help us to build our abilities to become the person we wish to be. Someone that influenced us to make difference and help us to be the best person possible. My personal role model is someone who I really love and admire, none other than my dad.

Fig. 1. My Personal Role Model: Mr. Joseph P. Maglalang

My father Joseph P. Maglalang was born in Licab Nueva Ecija on May 29, 1965. He took Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering at Wesleyan University-Philippines. He is the eldest son of Cecilia Pablo and Benito Maglalang. As eldest he had major role in the family and as my father he plays a major role in my life. My dad positively influenced me in my life. He helped me shape my personality and characteristics. I admire his unconditional and endless love for us. My dad is very strict and disciplinarian but he could still do things which let us know how much he loves us. When I was young I asked myself why is my dad is so strict and sometimes he makes me mad but through maturity I realized that without his motivation and sacrifices I could never be where I am today. How he worked hard to send us to school. He did everything to give us good education. All his sacrifices become evident to me for the whole year of my life. He is a perfect role model and I want to become like him. I want to take care of our family and my future family the way he did. I witnessed all his efforts to raise and provide for us. I remember when I was about college, hes the one who provided my needs and supported me during my journey. He helped me with my projects, wakes up every morning to prepare my foods and takes all the household responsibilities when I have no time doing so, drives me to school or wherever I need to be, he also stayed up late to wait me. After graduating and becoming a Registered Nurse, he encouraged me to explore, to broaden my horizon and to discover new things in that way I can enjoy my life. He motivated me to work hard, to give my best in every task and not to give up. He reminded me that life is short and I have all chances of doing what I want and what I dream and he reminded me that hes always there and will never leave me. My father taught me what life is really about. He taught me to enjoy my life but never forget my responsibility as a human being. He is the best role model, our provider and protector. He helped me grow as an individual and guided me in the right direction. I would carry all his influences for the rest of my life. Maybe someday, when I am married and have family of my own, I hope I can become a great parent like him. A parent who never gives up and a reminder of what unconditional love really mean. I hope I could be there for my children the way he did for me and to be my childrens BEST ROLE MODEL!

THE QUALITIES I ADMIRE FROM THIS PERSON

In order to become a role model the person should have the best character. My role model had a lot of qualities that I really admire. He is the best and good parent so I always had a habit of imitating him. He is a great model for me and the one who motivated me to become a good person. His personality is very unique and I admired all his qualities. The example of these are the following: Caring father has a boundless caring for us. He is my nurse who always there to help me when I get sick and ensuring that all my needs are met. We are his priority and sometimes he forgot himself and put his own needs last when caring for us. When I got sick, when I was in college, hes the one who took care of me. He is very careful regarding the food I eat. He always reminds me to eat vegetable and fruits to have a good immune system. He never leave me, he monitored my condition and provided the best care for me. I will never forget the time when he wakes up early to cook and prepare my lunch box. The time when he hugs me and say I love u and I am always here to take care of you. When he acknowledge my day to day activity. If it wasnt for him I wouldnt have caring and passion in nursing. He was the one who taught me to be caring. Good Disciplinarian- He is a strict type of father. Whenever I arrive late at night and dont have acceptable reason for being late he will surely give me punishment like being grounded or not to hang-out with my friends and letting me know that Ive made a mistake. He follows me in every step and make sure that Im in the right path. I understood and admired him for this quality because I know that a good father loves his children and doesnt let them walk in a wrong direction. He set boundaries and when Im not able to follow the rules that he set, he punish me accordingly and make sure that Ive learned from my mistakes and rising back up again. Hard work- When my father was young, he had a very hard life. His father left them and he was left with no choice but to embrace the responsibilities as an oldest brother. He stopped schooling and worked to provide the needs of his family. He never gave up but instead he proved that he can do things on his own. I finished my college and post-grad because of his hard work. He worked hard to give us better future. He sacrifices even his own happiness to give us the best life, to make our life easier and not to experience what he had experienced before. I admire him for being a good father and a good provider. Open-minded- Even my father is the head of the family he knows that he can be wrong and willing to listen to our concerns. He accepts our differences and he allows us to enjoy our life with other people and to be the citizens of our age. He is open and understands that people change over the year. He is the one who supported me and pushed me to grab the opportunity here in KSA. He told me to get away from my comfort zone, try new environment that will help me to gain maturity and to find what I really want in life but he told me to never forget to look back and remember the best thing that happened in my life. Understanding-This is one of the best quality that my father has. He understands that every one of us is unique and has differences. My father wont expect us to live the same kind of life he does, he accepts that we have our own lives and different ideas of how to run our lives. He understands and respects our own values, attitudes and different point of views. He believes that no one is perfect and making mistakes is a part of learning. When Im having a hard time he understands my behavior. When I commit a mistake hes the one who understands me and never judge me, hes also letting my own mistakes teach me to make a good decision. I realized then that Im so lucky having my dad, having a superhero and the best role model. He has all the qualities that I would like and try to apply in my future family.THE PERSONS INFLUENCE ON ME

My dad has a positive influence in my life. He taught me a lot of good things. He enriched my life. He made me feel that I can do everything with patience and determination. He inspired me to become a good person and motivated me to achieve my goals. When I was young and immature I experienced a couple of bad things, I made mistakes and fell down but my dad never left me alone, he always understood my wrong doings and cheered me up. He taught me how to fight and he made me realized that anything is possible even I think I cant do something. I felt really proud of myself because of him, because of his encouragement. He was the one who encouraged me to believe in myself and never give up my profession and now my hard has work paid off thanks to my dads guidance and life lessons. I know I have many things that need to improve to follow my dads step. An example of this is being positive thinker. He is able to cope with a stressful situation and he doesnt allow negativity to lead his life. I want to be like him, I want to appreciate all the positive things that happened in my life and not focusing on the bad things. I want to cherish the good things in my life when everything seems wrong. Sometimes I feel depressed and stressed when Ive done something wrong in my life but my dad taught me to view this positively, to learn from it and to move forward. He made me realized that theres a lot of good things that happen each day. I also want to be more understanding like him. When bad things happen in my life I easily become disappointed. I want to understand that no one is perfect.MY ADMIRABLE QUALITIES

There are no two people who have ever had the same life. Each individual is unique. Each individual had their own characteristics, personality and experiences. Throughout our life we meet a lot of people showing different qualities or attitude. This attitude affects people around them. We should accept each other even we do have in common or we are totally different from each other. As a human being I have also qualities that make me unique. I am thankful for having family and friends who appreciate these qualities; Caring Being a registered nurse, caring is the best quality that I have. This quality drives my action, pushes me to be a competent nurse and to be a nurse with dedication. I remember the time when I used this quality to show love for my grandfather. I assisted him in doing his ADLS (Activity of Daily Living) such as helping him to get up in bed and assisting as he walks up and down the stairs. Im the one who prepares his food and washes his dishes. I never leave him alone, I always make sure that he is in a comfortable position and all his needs are attended. This situation made me realized the importance of caring and supporting people as they go through tough times. I also developed this quality through my experiences in my profession. Im dealing with different kinds of patient which some are totally dependent on me. Its a privilege for me to provide quality patient care to help them recover. I spent most of my time caring for others and its my pleasure to continue caring. Responsible - I always do all the tasks given to me. I know how to perform all of the responsibilities given to me. This quality helped me in performing my job successfully. I do all my responsibilities as a nurse such as taking good care of my patient, assessing their problems, helping them in meeting their needs, monitoring their health, assisting them with bodily functions. I also provide emotional support such as listening to patients concern, reassure them. I also educate my patient regarding the disease process, the treatment plan, importance of taking medications, provide information of home care after their treatment in the hospital. In nursing there is no room for error, we should carry out our duties responsibly. Being a bedside nurse is difficult but I was able to do all my responsibilities because of my love in my profession. I felt that it is innate responsibility to care for a needy. I am also responsible daughter to my parents. I accomplished all the tasks that they have given to me not because my parents beg but because I love doing so. Trustworthy - I am known to be a trustworthy. I am honored that someone trusts me enough to tell a secret because they are confident that their secret is safe with me. My friends trust me of doing things what I said I would do and it brings security in my relationships to my friends. I never break my promises. My patients and their family trust me and have confidence in the work I do. Trust is difficult to gain especially in a health care setting. I gained my patients trust because I keep my promises to them, I am competent in doing the procedures and I explain the procedures clearly to the patient and ask their permission before doing my intervention. This trust that evolves helped me to build a good relationship to the patient. Patience - I developed this quality when I started to work in a hospital and having an interaction with different type of patients. Yes, for me its difficult to have long patience especially to those who have a bad temper. But through this quality I am able to help my patients and also my colleagues to feel empowered. When I have been at work for 8 hours, and theres a lot of thing to do I need to do charting, assist the doctor, admit and discharge patients, attend the patients need, do bedside care, provide health education to patient and family, communicate doctors about patient condition and so on. I was able to handle all of these by having patience and always remind myself that patience is a virtue. Compassion - I care for my patient with whole hearted concern and also I act as their advocate. I accept that they are having a hard time and that they need me to help them and to understand their condition. I offer my support and my caring to my patient during the dark side of their life and never forget to be a good advocate. I offer the best quality patient care and always make sure that the holistic aspects of compassionate nursing care are provided to the patient. Even theres a situation that the patient are not in good mood, yelling or refusing to accept treatment or an angry patient, I still know what to do to help and Im willing to comfort them. I understand their feelings and I let them know that I am here to comfort them.

others perception of my admirable qualities

I am the type of person who worries about what others think about me. It is important for me to be accepted by people around me. Their perception is important and Ive like to see the best in other but most people tend to judge me and give me the benefit of doubt. Their criticism is very much welcome because it will help me develop my qualities and personality. But there are also people who appreciate and admire my qualities Hardwork - Other people around me especially my family and friends thinks that I am hard working because I always put a lot of effort in my work. I always do my best to complete my tasks and I never give up. If at first I cant succeed, I will try again and give my very best to achieve my goals. As we all know, being a nurse is never easy. First, you have to surpass 4 years of college life full of sleepless nights, pile of paper works and attending classes after hospital duty or vice versa. After successfully finishing my college degree, the next step is passing the board exam. I successfully faced my challenges by working hard and it was the key in achieving my goals. My family and my friends witnessed all of the challenges in my life and how I handled it. As i face a new challenge here in KSA, I will work harder and strive harder to surpass the new challenges in my nursing profession and I believe that by working harder, Im giving myself a chance to attain a new level of achievement. Determined - They perceive that this is one of my admirable quality. They told me that they admire me because when I was taking my masters I never falter even though I had a very hectic schedule because of my duty and I never failed to attend my classes and finished my masters. Whenever I set a goal, I always do my best to achieve it. Even though it might look difficult, I always find a way to reach my goals and I always do it in a stunning manner. I never let someone hinder me in achieving my goals. They also told me that I always face the trials head on and whenever Im determined in accomplishing a certain goal or activity, I dont only put effort in attaining it but I always do my very best. Open-minded - My friends and classmates admire me for being open minded. They told that I accept their differences in attitude and personality. I welcome their criticisms and view it in a positive way. I remember during our clinical practice when I am the leader and as a leader I accept and acknowledge the differences of my groupmates, understand the limitation of our knowledge and appreciate our uniqueness. If they have complaints against me, I accept the criticism and become open to learning. I encouraged my groupmates to work together to solve a problem in a better way. Loving and Caring - As a nurse almost all people around me perceived that I am caring and loving because of the love and care I give to my patient. Being caring and loving is my innate characteristics. I have a passion in caring for the people I love and also for the people who need my caring hands. I remember when my brother got sick I am the one who monitored his condition, I did TSB, administered medication every 4 hours, prepared his foods, monitored his vital signs, I never leave him until hes healed. I felt great when I hear my brothers voice saying thank you ate, you are the best nurse. Trustworthy My friends distinguish me to be the most trustworthy in the group. My friends have no doubt to share to me even the biggest secret of their life without the fear of the secret being leaked. My family also trusts me that wherever I am I always follow their rules and advices to me. They can trust me that I can be always loyal to them. I gained also the trust of my patient because every nursing procedure I make sure that their rights are protected, I explain the procedure, the mode of treatment, the disease processetc. I make sure that I am also prepared and competent in nursing performing procedure and explain the procedure clearly so that I can establish rapport before doing the nursing care.

my expectations of others when in my company

The opinion and feelings of other people is very important. We do our best to make them appreciate us and try hard to impress them. What their opinions and feelings toward us really matter. They pushed us to excel and inspired us to be a better person. Its really true that the deepest urge in every person is the desire to be important to other, to provide good relationship and to feel good when they are in contact with each other. We want to feel worthy and not disappointment. But others opinion and feelings help us know whether we are on the right or wrong track. If they feel good about us then we are in the right path but when they feel disappointment then I think thats the time we should change our behavior. These are my example of what others might feel when they are in contact with me; Proud I want other people to feel proud at me. They inspired me to do my very best in every task that is given to me. If I fail, I will try again and never give up. I always remind myself that Its not about failing but about rising back up every time we fall. Ive always learned from my mistakes and motivated to achieve my goals. Im working hard to improve myself and to reach the peak of success so that I can make my family and friends proud. Comfortable - I expected them to be comfortable whenever they approach me or whenever Im around because it is a key in achieving a harmonious working relationship. Being uneasy and uncomfortable towards a colleague will hinder a productive relationship. I always make sure that my co-workers and also my patient is comfortable when they are with me. A harmonious working relationship will aid us in attaining our goals and as a unit we must work as one and help each other whenever someone is in need of help but when we are uncomfortable with our colleagues and our patient it is very hard and impossible to attain our goals. Happy - Im expected them to feel happiness when they come in contact with me. Making someone happy especially my love ones is a great and rewarding feeling for me. Life is really short but we have all the time and chances of doing what we want, for me I want to have impact and touch others life. I want to make their life happy. Every single moment God gave to me, I see to it that it is meaningful. My positivity inspired people around me to become happy. Feeling of Acceptance - Nurses work as a team and it is normal to have different views and opinion regarding a certain scenario but it is important to accept and respect each other's views and opinions. I want to feel others that they are appreciated and accepted in a group. I accept and listen to different ideas to generate a much clearer and better understanding of the picture. When they are in my company, I want to make sure that they can easily tackle situations on different standpoints and to build a successful and harmonious relationship.the values i need to meet my expectations of others when in my company

Values play a very important part in life. These values help us to have a good relationship and also to meet my expectations of others. Sometimes I try hard to improve my attitude and make other people proud. I can continuously improve my values especially if our value right now will not enable us to enjoy our life and our relationship to other. Responsible This is one of the values I need to have to make other people proud at me. As a nurse I am entitled to my own actions and carry out responsibilities. I always give my very best to all the tasks that is given to me and I help others to accomplish tasks in a time bounded manner. Im working hard to achieve my goals and to reach my success. I always do my best in every task to excel and to make other people proud at me. Interpersonal Skills - I want to develop my interpersonal skills. It is not easy to have this skill but its a must to have this. Im a shy type of person, I always feel shy to approach other people or to ask questions. I want to improve this skill to have harmonious relationship with people around me. As a nurse working in a unit, I want my colleague feel comfortable when they are with me. Optimistic- I need to improve this attitude to meet others expectation. Its one way to guarantee happiness. I want people around me to feel happiness in life and less stress. I want to make positive action and emotion to counteract negative events. Being optimistic make people healthy and happy.

my learnings

I realized in this activity that we need a role model in life who inspires us, sets a good example and lead us to live a better life. We need someone who sets a good example for us to have a better future. We live in a different culture and in a high pressurized environment where there is a desperate need for good role model to help us realize the value of life. I also realized the importance of knowing the perception of others about our admirable qualities because it will help us to be aware in our own values and encourage us to improve ourselves. It also help us to know what should be changed in our attitude, what should be improved in our values and also to be aware what are the qualities we have that other people really admire. Knowing ourselves better, leads to become a better person and help us in reaching our goals. This activity helped me remind myself that my life can be just I want it to be. I strive so hard to be the best in whatever I do and to be a good role model and we can do everything through our determination even if we think it is impossible.
