What is It
Values are individual beliefs that motivates people to act. It serves as a guide
for human behavior. Most of the time, a person adopts the values observed with the
people he/she lives with or the community that he/she grew up.
Activity 2 suggests values that will guide you in finalizing your career plan,
and be successful on your chosen career. Honesty, integrity, spirituality, respect,
gratitude, kindness, courage, patience, perseverance, and forgiveness are values that
you may utilize while you are into the crucial career planning, and facing college
pressures and numerous setbacks.
Choose a career that you love, and you like the most. Courage, patience, and
perseverance to face the challenges are some of the key to survive the challenging
world of career preparation and make it to the end line we call SUCCESS!!!

While working on the best career for yourself, it is best to consider the
following:
Interest concerns, involves, draws the attention of, or arouses the curiosity
of a person. You may consider analyzing the Senior High School subjects
that you found interesting and the hobbies that inspire you. Contemplate on
the following questions: Do you enjoy solving mathematical problems? Are you into
arts? Do you love writing short stories? Are you good in public speaking? Do you
enjoy exploring different places? Or perhaps you are not into academics, yet you are
very good in cooking, baking or carpentry. Allowing yourself to be in the field that
you enjoy may bring you satisfaction and success.
It would be better if you will find a career in the field where you are skillful
and you have easy access. For instance, you observed that while in SHS, you are
constantly the best in food preparation, you competed in school competition and won
in baking. You also had the highest grades in Technology and Livelihood Education
(TLE) subjects, then it is an indication that your skills are into foods, therefore, you
may opt to a course related to food preparation. You may choose for a four-year
degree course in College or short-term courses in TESDA.
Your career option where most of your relatives and family have access is a
good choice as well. Your relatives may assist you to land a job easily and work in a
stable company.
At times, your dream career is not the career that is opening doors for you,
you might consider to open yourself for other career possibilities. For instance,
you dream of becoming an Engineer but did not pass on the College Entrance
Examination in Engineering course, then you might consider a three-year
Technology course leading to Engineering.
As an adolescent, it is good to seek advice from people who have already been
there. You might consider asking your parents, teachers, guidance counselor, or
“people you look up to” when it comes to career. They can provide you insights on
how they did it.
