The document summarizes interviews conducted with marginalized members of the community. It includes profiles of 6 individuals interviewed, providing their name, age, occupation, family background, and dreams for the future. Common themes among those interviewed were desires to continue their education, obtain a more stable job, and provide a better life for their children. The group realized through these interactions that they should be grateful for the opportunities and resources they have access to. Conducting the interviews gave the students greater appreciation for others' hardships and strengthened their commitment to make the most of their own situation.

23. Content
1. In a few sentences, describe your
feelings and concerns while before and
after doing the interview/interaction.
2. What are your realizations after the
interview/interaction?
3. Did it hove any impact on your values
and how you look at life?

24. 1. Feelings And Concerns During
The Interview
 We feel excited before doing the
assignment because it’s not everyday
that we're given tasks like this. Before
officially starting, we thought of a way to
begin with but were engrossed with
nervousness for starting our real
conversation because of our first time to
interview someone we don’t know
personally.

25.  But after doing the given task, we were
relived, happy and surprised that they all
responded truthfully.
 We managed to have a
casual talk with each other
and as we talk on for deeper questions, we
felt their reason for living.

26.  We felt sorry for the people we
interviewed because most of them really
have dreams and aspirations to
achieve but due to financial problems,
they find it hard to achieve these goals.

27.  After this interview, we realized that we
were very fortunate that we should be
thankful and must do our best to make
the most of what we have.
 We sympathize for what they are
experiencing now. Contentment is one
of the things that we realized; that
having the chance to study and eat
three times a day is a bountiful blessing
we have.

28. 2. Realizations
 All of us should value what we have
today and love life, that's what we
realized after the interview.
 We are already looking at life that way.
You live today because you have
something to accomplish today and in
no time you'll be able to reach your
dreams/goals in life.
 We realized that we should value what
we have now; be grateful of what we are
receiving as blessings.

29. 3. Values and Life
It gave an impact on our values and how
we look at life more than before. For a
long time we only tend to observe the
marginalized members of our society but
after hearing their unheard voices to us,
as students, it gave a lot of value and it
even strengthened our will to do the best
we can with our resources.

30.  Some of us is already taking our values
and loving life seriously, and some of us
were moved by those unfortunate of our
assets that we have now.
 Each and every one of us should be
grateful and accept of what we have
than have nothing at all…
