            Being able to assess one's identity gives him an opportunity to know his own self better. I had these realizations in mind to various aspects if they really are in my control all this time. 
           Political perspectives, my daily activities which include those of my decisions where I will be going to without the physical guidance of parents are all in my control, considering that I am the only one who lives in Manila and the rest of them are in the province. Moreover, to the lifestyle I am adopting now, is based on what I want to be seen physically. 
           I may still unable to fully establish my own political position at this time but as it develops through time, I could say that of all the knowledge I gained and will be gaining from future learnings, all of which are decided accordingly, on what I absolutely choose.
