Hello! I am Ellaine A. Fabian,III-8 Bachelor in Social Science Education at the Philippine Normal Education.

 I am not a person who talk to others and expressing what I feel. This weekly journal is quite challenging

and exciting.   

Welcome to my first book! 

For the past two-term in this Academic Year, I decided to go with the flow. I did not set a fixed mindset to achieve or goal. I failed to discipline myself that things went wrong. I lost the consistency in doing things ahead of time that I used to be.  

During the term break, I've come to realize that I should give always give my best. I also realized that there are a lot of people (family, friends, and a significant other)  who always show their support and believe that I can.

With that,  I've made up my mind, I should start myself again.  Before entering the last term of this academic year- Term 3, I already set expectations that  I valued the most. Through that, it will serve as one of my motivations.

 I decided to become more productive and to step out again beyond my comfort zone. I know that it will help me boost more my confidence not only in academic but also my inner self.

THEORY:

Expectancy Value Theory (Vroom, 1964) postulates that motivation for a given behavior or action is determined by two factors: (i) expectancy, ie, how probable it is that a wanted (instrumental) outcome is achieved through the behavior or action; (ii) value, ie, how much the individual values the desired outcome. These two core factors are integrated through multiplication, such that motivation = expectancy × value.
