Week 16 (Last one)

Hey guys!  Throughout this semester I have had many obstacles but also  successful  results while practicing my virtues. Practicing my virtues was not as easy as I thought it would have been. There were times were I was just stuck and would not be able to improve and sometimes I would hardly work on them. For example, working on my stubbornness was the most difficult to improve for me. I would have days were I would be able to control it and actually benefit from it but there were also days that my frustration would effect my stubbornness so I would be stuck like a broken record. The most successful virtue I was able to achieve was being thankful. For many weeks I would always reflect back to this virtue because it is the one people mostly judge. For example, I have a family that cares a lot about me but they always say I have to be more thankful with things and even if I do show, I also have to mean it. This character experiment has really helped me improve my thankfulness and I am g

Hey everyone! It is finally Friday and a week closer til Christmas Day! This week there is nothing really interesting except that I got a dog last Saturday which is so exciting! Her name is Luna and she is a Jack Russell terrier. Anyways apart from having a cute puppy, I did not work on my virtues. There is not much to say except I forgot and also I blame it on my dog because she loves to keep me up late at night which makes me super tired in the morning and makes me forget things. I hope I can finally end on a good note next week by achieving my virtues. It is difficult to change these bad habits that you have into something that could benefit you. Being stubborn is such a bad habit I have and honestly throughout these past months, it has helped me reduce it. On the other hand, trying to stay organized is worst because sometimes I am told the homework we have to do but I don't write it down: simple laziness. At lastly being thankful has had its ups and downs. I have been sometimes

Hey everyone! This week is going to be a short blog because I have so many things to do! First and foremost, I had a lot of homework for all my classes. From English all the way to AP Spanish. Then I had to study for a few quizzes and a test that were pretty long. In addition to all of that, I did work on a some of my virtues. For example I worked on my organization skills but kind of slacked off by the end of the week. I wrote down all the assignments I needed to complete but by the end of the week I started to forget and wouldn't write anything. I worked on my virtue of being compliant a little bit by accepting other people's ideas. The problem with me being stubborn is that I get frustrated when people do not understand my idea and then give another one so I argue with them about what I said. I have gotten better at it though. Then achieving to be thankful this week was useless unless its the small tasks that people do to make me thank them. That is about it for this week!

Hey guys! I am in a very good mood today because it's finally FRIDAY! I have been waiting for this day to come since Monday! To be honest this week has been very chill and homework hasn't been too much. For once, I got to work on my virtues and mostly succeed in them. I worked on my organization skills by starting to write my homework and upcoming tests in my agenda. For the past couple weeks, I have not been writing in my agenda because I was too lazy and slacked off a lot. So by starting to write things down again, I was able to improve my grades and would not forget anything. I also worked on my stubbornness a little bit. I had a few arguments with one of my friends throughout the week but instead of fighting back her ideas, I listened to what she had to say and then reason with her. I felt very proud of myself!  I really didn't have anything to work on for being thankful but I did thank people that would open the door for me so technically I was thankful. Alright well t

Hey guys! Today has been a relaxing week with little stress. We barely had homework and had only a few quizzes. This week I did not really work only virtues because I completely forgot about them. Everyday I would go to sleep very late and I would not even think about them. With everything that's been going on throughout school I forget. During school hours, I mainly focus on my classes and the work I need to complete. I just start to procrastinate my virtues and when I am reminded about them, I try to think of ways to do an action for one but it never works. I know this is a bad habit but luckily I wishing to improve them next week. Next week is one of my favorite times of the year, Thanksgiving. Its an amazing time to spend with family and eat some homemade food by your cousins. I will probably be able to work on my virtues throughout next week and help me move a step closer to achieving my goal, to be a good person. Thanks for reading!

Hello friends! This week's blog is going to be short because very little things were done. First off I did express two of my virtues which I am very glad about. I want to thank Daniela's comment from my last blog. I thought she gave great advice in helping me improve and remember my virtues. I actually took that into consideration and it benefitted me this week. Anyways I was able to work on my stubbornness a little more this week when it came to my mother. I had an argument with her that didn't end very well. (she gave me a chancletazo) I learned from the argument that maybe what I am saying is wrong so I took her advice and it worked. I feel like its always good to consider what others have to say because no one is always right and having different views of things benefit you. The next virtue I worked on was being thankful. My birthday was actually last Sunday and I had an amazing time. I was very thankful for all the gifts I received from everyone and they knew I cared.

Hey guys! Todays update will be short because the week went by so fast that I couldn't believe it. Since the starting of the new grading period it has been all well and I started off strong. The problem is that I have been working on so many things like homework and studying that I completely forgot to think about my virtues. On Monday I spent most of the day working on homework because I didn't want to do anything on Tuesday. Then on Tuesday I finished anything that was assigned that day so I wouldn't have to do anything for Wednesday because it was Halloween. On Halloween I did nothing because I got home late and had to quickly get dressed to go trick or treating with my little cousins. Thursday was the day I mostly had to work on assignments since I didn't do anything on Wednesday, I had to do it on Thursday. Lastly on Friday I took the day off and this where I am at right now. Basically I did nothing but work. I could of have exercised my organization skills but I w
