Self is an Accumulated Learning

There came a point in our lives where we asked ourselves, "Who are we?" and failed to fully know ourselves. This leads us to make bad decisions and have failed relationships with others. As humans, it is critical to understand ourselves as we grow into the people we want to be.

The self is a repository of knowledge.It is the idea that all of a person's knowledge from childhood to the present defines him.The knowledge a person gains from his environment as he grows up is important in defining him.As such, everything that is learned from family, school, neighborhood, and society will have an impact on a person. What a person sees or hears is processed by the mind and learned as a result, and it sometimes becomes mindlessly a part of that person.These beliefs, teachings, values, and knowledge instilled in a person's mind will define that person because they are the foundation built in him. For instance, a person who was born into a rich household is different from a person who was born into a poor household. Their worldviews may differ depending on what their family and environment taught them.Additionally, this may also be applied to the things a person learned from his mistakes and how he responded to and coped with them. The things he learned may be useful or not, but this gives him a chance to improve himself, reflect on his wrongdoings, and own up to them. Every mistake a person makes, he will learn from it, giving him a chance to fix himself and be better. A person is what he learned, and as he grows up, his knowledge increases, giving him more choices on how to act on all the things he learned.

As a result, self is an accumulation of knowledge. Everything a person learns over time will be part of him, defining who he is. This implies that a person should be cautious about what he is exposed to, as it may become him.

The House in the Cerulean Sea Review

The House in the Cerulean Sea is a wonderful wholesome book written by Tj Klune, a brilliant writer. The story started with Mr. Linus Baker, who is a casewoker of DICOMY or Department in Charge of Magical Youth. He was tasked of a very classified assignment. To go stay for a whole month in an orphanage and observe 6 "problematic" children and the house master Arthur Parnassus. He was unprepared and shocked but what could go wrong in an orphanage full of classified persons. They are just children, right? This book was what I needed. It was a light read, great storytelling, wonderful use of words, and something that touched my heart. It brings me back to being a child. It was nostalgic and refreshing. I recommend it to people who want a short escape.

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens is a story about Kya Clark, dubbed as the " Mash girl" in their town.

A Review on the Book " The Absolutely True Diary of a Part - Time Indian by Sherman Alexie

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part - Time Indian is a young adult novel by Sherman Alexie. Its main character is Junior who born with water on the brain and an Indian living on a reservation. In the book, Junior narrates his story, on how he was bullied, persuaded by his teacher to transfer school, fitted in in his new all-white school, and struggled to bring back the trust of his best friend. This book was fun to read because of the way the writer delivered the story and accompanied by adorable illustrations. I was really hooked of Junior's life, his culture, lifestyle, thoughts and decision in life. Honestly, I am impressed by him, that no matter how bad the situation is, he still have a positive outlook and continued his life without delving in the past. He proved that no matter how disabled, unskilled, poor, and unlikable you are, you can still make the best out of life. I really relate to Junior because I am too, is raise in and now struggling in poverty, but still I fight
