THINKING ALOUD MY DECISIONS
Activity 1: Let’s Try This
Directions: Read the story of Anton, a Senior High School graduate, then answer the
processing questions.
Anton’s Indecisiveness
Anton who took up the General Academic Strand in Senior High School has a hard time
deciding what course to enroll in college. He graduated with honors and has received special
citations. He is great in Science and Math but he is also into arts and graphic designing. He
was told by his parents to decide for his course since colleges are already closing admission
and the school opening is approaching fast.
He is spending night analyzing his options. Sometimes he barely sleeps, over-analyzing
all considerations. There are also pressures from his friends for him to join them in the
university where there are wide variety of Science course he can choose from. He also considers
the suggestions of his teachers who see his potential in graphic designing and multimedia arts.
Anton really wants to enroll in the most prestigious school to study the course that perfectly
fits him. After thorough self-deliberation, he comes down to two schools and four courses. But
this does not end his considerations; he still has more factors to visit. His family and friends
are starting to worry if he could ever make a final decision.
It has finally come one day when everything was in place. Anton finally decides to
enroll! He hurries to the school of his choice, but he’s an hour late! The enrolment has just
closed for his first choice. To add in more to his regrets, his second chosen program has also
reached the maximum number of students and it was closed days ago. Sad and full of regrets,
Anton goes home thinking of the lost time overthinking his options. And that is because he can
just not make up his mind.
