The High School Experience

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!
