ANA

My life has changed now that I now what are my character strenghts, because I don´t argue with my dad of insicnificant stuff anymore, I´m a better friend now and now I know how to help people if they need me to.

Character Strengths can have a significant positive impact on your life.They have made a great impact on mine... Thanks to carácter Strenghts being applied correctly in my life, I feel I am a "better" person. Character Strenghtshad helped me to realize that I have to have a better actitude for having good results. Now I have learned to tolerate people, being able to cheer them up, listen to them, being there for anything they need between other things. 

Not Using Character Strenghts

WHEN YOU DON´T USE CHARACTERS STRENGHTS

ANA

I didn´t use self control once when I had a figth with a girl that was being mean to a "friend" of hers and I tried to defend her, a teacher came down the hall and when I explained what was going on,the teacher decided that the mean girl was rigth and I was the one who started, so I may or may not insulted the teacher.

ME TO THAT TEACHER

PAOLA

Have You ever been in a situation in where you are new in a place and you don´t know to anyone?

Well, something similar happened to me. One day I was in a place in where I was completely ne, I didn´t knew anyone. I couldn´t talk to anybody because I was afraid of them laughting at me (I really don´t know why) so all the time I spent in that place, I was alone...

The Character Strenght I didn´t use was SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE :O

I applied SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE once in my other school when we had to make a presentation for history class and my friend was really nervous about it and she couldn´t concentrate in the other classes but about a class before the presentation I told her that if she had already learned what we were going to said she didn´t have to worry about anything

One Day I was having a big problem...

Tips For Being A Better Student

Konnichiwa :]

Are you interested on being a better student?

If so, You are in the right place!

Here you have

 5 TIPS  FOR BEING A BETTER STUDENT USING CHARACTER STRENGHTS!

1 Do your homework. 

If you have homework due on Monday that was assigned on Friday, use your Self-Control and don't start the assignment at 11 p.m. on Sunday. Take your homework seriously and try hard problems, even if you're not sure on them. If you are really having trouble, ask a friend or a parent. Don't stress about your homework. Don't let yourself go over 40 minutes a night per assignment. Manage your time.

2 Pay attention during class.

 If you don't pay attention it will be almost impossible for you to understand the lesson by yourself. Remember to participate in class as well. This is good for your relationship with your teacher, for your grades and for passing the time. Let your curiosity flow and learn new things!

3 Ask for help.

• After you have studied by yourself, studying with a classmate or group can help you better understand hard concepts. Quiz each other. Be Social Intelligent!

4 Stay positive.

• Have a positive attitude and optimism well. Complaining will only make learning harder.

5 Set goals.

If you set concrete goals for yourself, it’s easier to become motivated and measure your success in those goals.

Make sure your goals are realistic! While you should challenge yourself, you shouldn’t set yourself up for failure, either.

Remember, you can always set higher goals once you’ve achieved your first set.

Time to use your Zest!

Hallo :]

Well my dear ones

The Student´s Day is coming...

Geez! I know, I know, it is not that exciting as expected... 

But Hey! We must be thankful that at least they recognize our effort :]

Now, Can you guess the topic of this post? 

Oho! you are so intelligent! .__. 

As you "said" We will talk about:

Character Strenghts As Students!

Exciting, don't you think?

Well, first of all we are going to talk you about our Character Strenghts as students.

ANA

What Character Strenghts do I think I have?

Self control

 Curiosity

Why?

I have self control because when I got angry I try not to raise my voice or answer in a bad way.

In my opinion I have curiosity because I like to know random favts about any subject.

I use self control when I don´t know the answer of a question in a homework  and I use curiosity to find the answer of that question.

PAOLA

What Character Strenghts do I think I have?

 Curiosity

Optimism

Why?

I think I have curiosity because every time I see something new, I get really interested and try to learn more about that certain thing.

 &

I think I have optimism because when I have a problem with something, I try see the positive side to that problem and I try to solve it.

A situation in which I have applied my Character Strenghts as a student?

Well, I use the curiosity when I learn something new in class and I get really interested so I try to learn even more about that topic.

And I use the optimism when I have a problem with a proyect or a homework and I try to see the bright side of that problem and that's how I achieve solving my problem.

What Character Strenghts do you think you have as a student?

Happy Teacher´s Day!

Hello~

After doing a comparision between our opinion about the Character Strenghts of Miss, Miriam and the Character Strenghts she thinks she has... We concluded that we don´t think the same way.

But that´s really not a problem. :D

After all these days that we interviewed and talked with Miss. Miriam, we realized that she is really an example to follow. You may be wondering why. Well she has to deal with teenagers every day and that is not very easy, sometimes they are very disobedient and they don´t really want to pay attention (we are included as well) but Miss. Miriam stills acting with a positive actitud and she makes her best to make everyone understand what she is explaining. She really cares for her students and she tries to make that all the students have the same opportunities as others. 

"Thank you for teaching me how to read and write, for guiding me to distinguish between what is wrong and what is right. For allowing me to dream and soar as a kite, thank you for being my friend, mentor and light."

 Honestly, thak you teachers!

Bye Bye~

MISS MIRIAM´S CHARACTER STRENGTHS pt. 2

* IN HER OPINION:

• CURIOSITY: Because she likes to always learn new thing about any topic. She shows curiosity when she gets interence in the problems of her students to find a way to help them.

• PERSISTENCE: She considers herself persistent because when she belives in something or wants to get a goal she does not give up until she fullfil it. When a student is not going well in her clas she helps them to understand and push them to practice and get better grades.

TEACHER OF THE YEAR!!!

MISS MIRIAM´S CHARACTER STRENGHTS 

* Our opinion:

• Self-control : We think that she has this character strenght because when the students aren´t behaving like they should or they are not working nor listening, she  doesn't get angry easily.

• Optimism: She tries to be happy all the time for us and she make joke with the students and sometimes follows the game of some of us.

• Social Intelligence: We think she has social intelligence because she always tries to help us and is empathic with us and she cares if her students understand the subject and if they don't she helps them with their doubts.

                                                                 

Thank you!!

Need a good song?

CHARACTER STRENGTHS IN SONGS!!!

Here we will show you some examples of Character Strenghts expressed in songs :D

• PERSEVERANCE & BRAVERY: "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten

This song talks about having dificulties, like loosing friends and beeing away from home but having enough courage to overcome them with a good actitud.

• SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE, HOPE & PERSEVERANCE: "I believe" by Christina Perri

This song is about appreciating your own strenghs and other´s and beliving in your self and in what you can do, it also says that after having dificulties you can learn from them, and instead of giving up all hopes you stand up anf fight for yourself.

• Confidence & Courage: "Best Of You" by Foo Fighters

 This song is about reaching your potential.

Everyone has secrets they keep in their own heas about themselves, and we rarely confront those secrets. It is a self reflecting song: "Is someone giving the best, the best, the best of you" can be interpreted as asking youself a question you don´t really want to think about.

WE HOPE THAT YOU HAVE ENJOYED OUR POST! IF YOU KNOW ANOTHER SONG, DON´T FORGET TO PUT IT IN THE COMMENTS.

Reading time!
