  1. *I take a positive attitude toward myself when facing adverse situations*
    I chose this one because I think having a positive attitude is key in anything we do. Whether its supporting someones decision or getting the class in a happier mood to get the acitvity we are doing that day and make it more fun. I am going to work on this by trying everyday no matter how tired or mad i am to be positive and happy to myself and everyone around me.

  2. "I take a positive attitude toward myself when facing adverse situations." I chose this descriptor because I think this is the one I'm probably most lacking in. I work on it by forcing myself to be more optimistic and less critical of myself.

  3. "I take a positive attitude toward myself when facing adverse situations. "

    I'll have to work on this because my whole life I have been living my life negatively. Or rather, pragmatically. That attitude doesn't bother me, but I realize it can bother others, and having a negative attitude in the presence of others during group work is counter-productive.

    All other qualities are qualities I believe I show a respectable amount of already

  4. "I am persistent in all my tasks even when they are challenging."

    I chose this descriptor because sometimes i do not give all my effort in class. It really does not help having this class first period. I can work on it by getting more sleep so i am not as tired when i come to school. Getting some more breakfast or having a snack may help as well.

  5. I will choose "I find value in everything I do". I choose this because it is hard to appreciate everything we do because our lives are so hectic. So I personaly would like to work on this because it is hard to do especially first period.

  6. " I will persist in all my tasks even if they are challenging"

    I chose this one because I have a bad habit of slowing down and not giving something my all when it becomes challenging.I am going to accomplish this by not giving up halfway through and going to do something else when I'm having a hard time accomplishing some task.

  7. "I can calm myself when upset" I chose this one because some times I can get very annoyed and impatient so focusing on this will help me be patient and more productive in our class.

  8. "I am willing and able to seize an opportunity when it presents itself."

    I tend to be passive, taking orders instead of giving them, and not speaking up when I can or should. I want to take more opportunities to lead.

  9. "I am willing and able to seize an opportunity when it presents itself." i will work on this because sometimes i dont say what my opinion of things are and i dont always put my idea out there even when i know it is a good one so i need to work on this and contribute more.

  10. The one I chose was that I take personal responsibility for my own actions. I chose this one because if you want to work with others, be successful with others and yourself I believe an individual should take personal responsibility. I will do this by making sure I am doing the right thing that we are supposed to be doing in the activities we do throughout the year. I will pay attention to what others are suggesting and make sure that I do those to the best of my ability.

  11. I chose I am going to calm myself when I am upset because I have been seeming to get agitated very quickly lately and I don't want to bring negative energy to the class.

  12. I take a positive attitude toward myself when facing adverse situations.
    i tend to doubt myself when i am faced with something challenging. i want to work on that and make it so that i believe in my self. i dont want my negative attitude toward my self to rub off on others.

  13. I chose "I am willing and able to seize an opportunity when it presents itself." I chose this one because I tend to let others lead more often than not, and I don't speak up as much. To work on this, I need to seize those opportunities more, and contribute to the class both in discussions and activities.

  14. i chose "I fullfill my responsibilty to be engaged in daily activities". i chose it because I think it is an easy task to accomplish. If everyone tries their hardest in daily activities and doesn't sit on the sidelines I think our class would bond easier and quicker.

  15. "I find value in everything I do"
    I chose this one because sometimes if you don't like an activity at first or are really tired (especially since it's first period) it can be really easy to just go through the motions and not get anything out of it. I am going to work on this by trying to focus on why we do certain activities while we are actually doing them, rather than just participating without thinking about it.

  16. "I find value in everything I do." I chose this one because sometimes I don't find value in some of activities we do in class. Like Sam said above, it is first period and its very easy to just go through the motions, but actually get nothing out of the activity. I'm going to try to really learn from what we do and try to see how the activities we do can connect to a bigger picture.

  19. "I find value in everything I do" I feel that the problem with me when applying it to this is that since its the first period of the day, I find it harder to think in depth of what I'm doing. I guess I gotta try to wake up in the morning. :-)

  20. "I am willing and able to seize an opportunity when it presents itself." I chose this one because in the past activities we have done, I haven't included my ideas and opinions all that much and I would just let everyone else speak, but I should probably start "seizing the opportunity" to come up with, and share, some ideas.

  21. "I take a positive attitude toward myself when facing adverse situations."
    I tend to be very negative when we have fitness days. I always think I can't do whatever Mr.H assigns, but if I work hard enough I might be able to get close to that. I need to work on that by maybe working out at home or just pushing myself harder in class.

    If I see something difficult, I assume right away that I can not complete it. It always happens and when I have that mindset, I tend to not try as hard. I have to work on it alot.

  23. "I am persistent in all my tasks even when they are challenging."
    I chose this because I need to work on the amount of effort I give in gym class, especially because it's first period and i'm usually tired. I can improve this by getting more rest to challenge myself to work harder.

  24. "I find value in everything I do"
    I chose this because many times it's hard to realize the point of an activity in class. I want to try harder to understand the reasons for everything we do and appreciate them more.
