One of the hardest things to figure out while we live life is the real meaning, the purpose of oneself. I am no exception to this complicated process of looking for the pieces. What I feel, know and want at this phase of my individuality in particular has been influenced by so many things, I must admit. I am not gonna fool around by saying that TREDFOR has been one of these influences and that it’s the best I’ve ever had. But I think, it is necessary to say that it has inspired me to be always better as a Christian, as a person. It helped me decipher the ever so mysterious epitome of who I am. It gave me reason, clarity and stronger faith. It provided a vast set of knowledge and life lessons which I think are the most necessary as I go through the paths I choose to take. It gave me a step-by-step protocol of examining myself, of figuring out the real me. 

My first impression of the subject is the best that I can remember throughout my college life. Here, I was given the chance to just close my eyes, find silence in the midst of the busy and demanding days of my last term (hopefully) in this university. It taught me to allow myself to talk to God once in a while. Who wouldn’t love being given a chance to just breathe, pray and just forget all worries even just for a while?

TREDFOR also made my imagination play around. Being such a confused, always uncertain student trapped in the walls of this demanding world of academics, I always longed for space and time to think out. To scrutinize things and to make my dreams come true at least in that limitless space of my mind.

Because I always see myself as immature, the topic that struck me the most is the one about human maturity. It tacked a wide variety of lessons and majority of which I can completely relate with. Superego is such a cute word and beyond it are truths on how people act in front of others. Being aware of such tendency, it made me examine myself. It taught me that I should not let others influence my identity.
