Positivity

Today my last assignment/blog post was to be positive for 24 hours straight.  This task was especially challenging for me because I am a perfectionist.  I started off my day with this goal in mind.  I tried to be positive when things didn't go as planned.  Especially, when I got my math test handed to me and it was nothing like the study guide!!!  However, with this in mind; I was able to calm myself down in stressful situations and just breathe.  Thinking positive does help you get through a tough day!:)

A Good Friend

Today my assignment was what does it mean to be a good friend?  I thought about this a lot throughout the day before I posted this.  In order to be a good friend, you have to be understanding and dependable.  To be a “good” friend you have to be able to listen and give advice as well as be able to compromise. Also, you always have to be there and support them 100%.  Overall, you can answer this question with a 100 synonyms.  However, I think all you need to be a good friend is patience and positivity.

Courage

Today my assignment was about courage.  I decided to take this task more seriously than the rest and challenge myself.  Courage can come in small or big things.  When I was sitting in my statistics class my teachers was rattling off info really fast about a new chapter.  I never have the courage to as him to low down or ask a question because the class seems to be following along easily.  So I decided to have the courage to as him a question this time.  This task helped me be more open with my teacher.

Someone New

Today my assignment for the week was to talk to someone new.  With this in mind, I had the idea to talk to a person when I was at the grocery store.  As I was checking out, I made small talk with a checkout lady named Judy.  I introduced myself and asked her hoe her day was! This task made me more outgoing and not as afraid to talk to others.  It was nice having a conversation instead of having my eyes glued to my phone

Diversity Day

Today a speaker came to our school along with a group of actors called “Awkward Pause” to talk to us about diversity.  This day was very worthwhile and meaningful.  By having discussion with students, we were able to talk about problems, stereotypes, racism, and basically anything that came to our minds.  Overall, this day meant something for everyone that participated.  The speaker brought tears to my eyes.

Gossip

Today my assignment was to not join in with others and have no participation in gossip.  When I  heard others “gossiping” I eliminated myself from the conversation and tried to stop it.

Stop and Help

Today I had the assignment to stop and help someone throughout my day.  I began my day with this is mind.  I attended my culinary arts program in the morning.  I noticed that the grill was lacking help and unorganized with the customers.  I decided that this was the perfect opportunity to stop and help someone.  I served pastries and cookies so the line could move quicker and more efficient.
