COURSE TITLE : PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

II. CREDIT UNITS : 3 Units

III. COURSE DESCRIPTION : Personality Development

Personality development is a lifetime process marked by laughter, sweat, and tears. It is the journey of an individual
toward self- discovery and self- acceptance. During the adolescent stage of human development, the individual finds
himself or herself at a vulnerable spot, which requires great patience in order for him or her to understand the
movement and changes happening inside and outside a person. Adolescence is the time of discovery and
experimentation that brings joy and freedom to the person. It is the time in our life when we discover, mold, and chisel
our identity that we will bring to the future.
