...CHAPTER 2 Review of Related Literature and Studies The researchers are conducting a study on the academic performances of students whose parents are working abroad. But to conduct this study the researchers researched on the definitions of these terms. Academic Performance and its Definitions: Education is one of the fundamental needs that every person from this humanity must acquire and register into. As stated and defined in the Grolier Encyclopedia of Knowledge (2000), societies have sought to educate their people to produce goods and services, to respond effectively and creatively to their world, and to satisfy their curiosity and aesthetic impulses. To achieve any of these objectives people need to acquire reliable knowledge and to think systematically. Likewise, Education is one of people’s only sources of survival and all human beings are allowed and encourage obtaining such. According to the Oxford Dictionary, academic performances are the performances of students within an academic year concerning with their studies particularly in English, Math and Science the major subjects in schools and universities. Academic performance is also about coming out on top in argument, the contours of which (intellectual ,effective ,performance) are shaped by institutions in which we work and in which we have worked since we were young children. And this returns us to the classroom, which, as it turns out, is the most important setting in which we worked for, without...

...(Moore, Jensen, & Hauck, 1990, in Rice & Dolgin, 2000). It is during adolescence that an individual needs to make one of the most important decisions, that of choosing a career (O’Hare, 1987, in Rice & Dolgin 2000). During their senior year in high school, students are faced with the dilemma on what they want to do right after graduation: pursue college education, learn a trade by enrolling in technical-vocational program, or work immediately. Whatever career decision the high school seniors eventually make, it is important to determine the career decision making process they undergo. It is also important to know which factors they consider or disregard in their career decisions. At stake in making the right career decision is their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Thus, it is imperative that they choose the occupation that best fits each of them. Majority of the local researches on career decisions and the factors influencing them focus on adolescents. Similarly, the literature and studies on Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) usually delve on the economic and social repercussions of overseas employment (Asis, 2004; Nicodemus, 1997). There is no available study regarding the career decisions of the adolescent children of OFWs in particular. Although a recent research on the impact of migration on Filipino families revealed the career aspirations of young children (Episcopal Commission for the Pastoral Care of Migrant and Itinerant People of the Catholic Bishops Conference...

...third book of the Sibylline Oracles. It may have been slightly exaggerated when it came out sometime in the 2nd century B.C., but that prophecy uncannily came true the following century. Witnesses such as Seneca, Philo, and Greek geographer Strabo – the last believed to have remarked that one can’t go anywhere without encountering a Jew – confirmed that a massive Jewish diaspora did take place in a number of cities in the Roman Empire. Today, it can be said that no ethnic group suits that statement better than Filipinos. On whatever land or sea it may be, in any of the four corners of the world, there’s sure to be a Filipino. What makes them want to leave their homeland with such dogged persistence? Numbers Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) can be found from Norway to Nigeria. Each Sunday, they are found milling around Victoria Park in Hong Kong and the cobbled streets of Rome. As of 2009, there are about 8.6 million overseas Filipinos, plus about 2 million more who are undocumented. These include people of Filipino ancestry who are citizens of other countries and Filipino citizens working abroad on a temporary basis. Considering that we are a nation of about 100 million people, these figures represent a substantial percentage which cannot simply be ignored. The burning question Why do my countrymen choose to leave the country temporarily, or for keeps? Our grandparents fondly recall the Philippines’ ‘Golden Years’ – the post-war ‘50s – when our engineers, doctors, architects...

...so privileged that my parents sent me to school for my education, it is an opportunity that the youth today needs to enjoy and achieve. Education is a lot of struggles, peer pressures and stress at all especially to the college students yet I can say that is worth living.

...adolescents Chapter I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Social rejection happens when one individual is purposely excluded from social situations. This rejection can be performed by either an individual or group of people, and it can be active or passive in nature. Since 1990’s, when a whole slew of school shooting began to occur across the United States, there have been numerous studies, centred around social rejection.

Humans are social creatures, by nature, and rejection is always emotionally painful. Some rejection is normal in life, and just about everyone has experienced, or will experience, some sort of social exclusion during his lifetime. Repeating rejection can be malicious or otherwise; can have negative impact on a person. These rejections can be much more devastating for highly sensitive individual, or if fitting in with in a certain person or group is extremely important to the shunned person.
