Being Aware of Yourself

Students, since we are between units, I would like to take this opportunity to talk about something unrelated to ancient civilization. I would like to talk about you and what kind of a person you are and what kind of a person you want to be. Every so often, it is good for us to do some reflection on what type of person we are, where we are going in life, and what we want to accomplish. Maybe you have not experienced this yet in your brief 11 or 12 years of existences, but one thing you should never do is stop growing. You should always want to be working towards something, improving your self and helping others improve. We, as human beings, need to continue to learn and be engaged. If we stop growing, stop learning, stop trying, then we will become stagnant, depressed, and having an overwhelming feeling of frustration. It is good to learn and grow. We need to climb mountains and not be satisfied with sitting on plateaus. With all this in mind, we are going to be taking a look at ourselves and thinking about some very important things. Click the link to go to your activity. But before you do, you must tell yourself that you will take a hard, honest look at yourself and complete the activity to the best of your ability.

Post your thoughts in a comment box for this blog post. Nobody but me will read them. Thank you.

I tried really hard at Taekwondo Testing. Because I wanted my next belt. I didn't try hard at Golf, because it doesn't interest me much.
1. I took a risk when I went on the Scary ride at mall of america. and then i puked.
I was responsible when I was watching my cousins when their parents were gone.
I had to adapt to change when I stayed over at my friends house.
I had to be tough when I was sparring to beat the person in the tournament.
I made a commitment to do the dishes every day.
I had to be openminded on a science project with 4 other people.
If I wasn't open minded, we would've faught all the time.
I make a plan and then do it.
It works sometimes depending on the plan.
A problem I faced was MISSION IMPOSSIBLE in Gym. We made a plan (A very slow one), and we did it. but we had to go, so..
If i knew i couldn't fail, i would finish everything that i failed at.And go on with life.

#1
A) I wanted to get to all-state-band on my trumpet. It is extremely hard because the trumpet is a common instrument, and it's tough anyway for a sixth grader to make it. I got my audition music in about April. I practice almost everyday, I took summer lessons, I listened to a recording of the music so I had the rythm in my head. I tried out in December. I didn't make it. I was really bummed because I had worked hard. I had worked hard, maybe even harder than some people who made it. After that I was way okay with it because it was a good experience and would have me ready for next year.
B)I was in a Hershey track meet. I was in the hundred and got second with somewhat ease. I qualified for state. I had a little less than a month to train. I started out pretty well, working out almost everyday. But then I got busy, and I also was on a swim team and was swimming A LOT. I sort of peetered out of my work schedule. I thought it would be okay because I was swimming, which is a good work out. I basically quit training altogether. At state, in Peirre, I ran my worst hundred ever and jumped horribly.

More to come!

6leonard kinzer said...

One time I tried really hard to work at the stables in the summer. Because if I worked there for two summers, I could get one of the horses.
One time at my dads house I stopped trying to be good and make my dad happy. Because he kept comparing me to all the other kids and me and him dont get along. So I stopped trying to be good enough for him.
One time I took a risk when I was riding my horse. When we jumped for the first time without any adults there. We cleared the jump. It was awesome.
I was really responsible when I worked at the stables because I had to do a lot of things and be there at 8am then work until 10pm. It felt GREAT.
I had to adapt to change when my parents divorced and we moved from Rapid City to Brandon.
I had to be tough in 2nd grade when my parents divorced.
I made a commitment to work for my horse.
Open Minded. Its used like when people go through really hard things in life and I try to understand them. Its not used when Im mean to my dad. I dont think about how it makes him feel.
I face problems all the time with my dad. He made me almost unable to trust and depressed. I realized it was only hurting me, so I forgave everything that happened and im trying to move on. Its starting to work.
If i knew I couldnt fail, id attempt anything.
