Character Strengths In My Life :)

Character Strengths In My Life :)

Karent:

1-. situation: I showed gratitude on Mother's Day and I thanked my mom for giving me everything and that everything possible for me. 

problem: once I asked permission to my mom with time to go out with my friends and my dad up at the last moment was angry with me and with my mom this would have been avoided if I had used social intelligence to ask permission alike . 

My life combined: when I began to learn how to use the strengths of character, I began to use them in my life either using social intelligence, enthusiasm, gratitude, among others and employing them in people.

Sofia:

2-. Situation: I've been showing/putting in practice grit at school. This because, I made a future goal at the beginning of the year relates to my grades, and by now it is going pretty good! School is almost over and I am going to achieve my goal so I am pretty happy.  

Problem: I never use character strengths when fighting with my sister... First of all, I shouldn't fight with her, but at least I could use some of this to help. If I use this, maybe the fights won't even happen! Or if they do happen, they wouldn't be as bad...

Life: Now that I know and I'm informed about the character strengths, my life is better in a way that I can do things that are beneficial for me and for everyone around me.

 

5 TIPS TO APPLY CHARACTER STRENGTHS AT SCHOOL

5 TIPS TO APPLY CHARACTER STRENGTHS AT SCHOOL.

1.- Curiosity: You can apply curiosity by asking your teacher questions about any doubt you have.

2.- Grit: Apply grit by thinking about a goal (like grades), and try to achieve it before the year ends.

3.- Social-Intelligence: Apply social-intelligence by helping others, and when working on teams take the opinions of everyone.

4.- Optimism: Try to be positive about everything! If you get a bad grade just think you will now do something extra to get it up.

5.- Gratitude: Be thankful for everything your teachers make for you. Thank your classmates for all that fun time you had.

HAPPY STUDENT´S DAY!

We think we do have "Character Strengths". Some we think we have and use daily are:

Karent: 

-Optimism: Because I always take the positive sides of things and not the negative ones.

SITUATION: When I help others in class to say everything in an optimistic way.

-Self-control: Because I know when to control myself.

SITUATION: When I am in class, i always control myself. For example, I don´t laugh...

-Gratitude: Because I know how to say thank you to the people who help me.

SITUATION: When I thank every teacher for what he did today...

Sofia:

-Gratitude: Because I am grateful for everything I have.

SITUATION: When I thank the cafeteria for giving me food.

-Social Intelligence: Because I try to make decisions based on the good of everyone.

SITUATION: When I work in teams, I try to take the best options for everyone not just for me.

Zest: Because I do everything with enthusiasm.

SITUATION: I always enter to classes with a smile on my face.

Grit: Because I´m always trying to have good grades, and when I do something, I keep doing the same until I achieve it.

SITUATION: When I first came in to school, I told myself the goal I wanted to achieve during the school year, which was passing all my exams with a high grade. I succeeded! :)

Self-Control: Because I control myself when I´m nervous or things like that.

SITUATION: Because I hold myself in class, with this I mean I don´t talk with my friends instead I pay attention.

HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY!

GETTING TO KNOW OUR TEACHER: TERE BERNAL♥️

Teacher's day is coming quick! For that, we went to one of our teacher's to get to know them better! We interviewed Tere Bernal, which is one of our school's teachers. So now it's question time!!! Lets get to know Tere Bernal...

Her complete name is Teresa Bernal Tarango (also called Miss Coahuila and Tere Bernal). She works at Secundaria Tec de Monterrey as a history and "cultura de legalidad" teacher (1st and 3rd grade). She is married and she does have children. she loves her job and of course her family, her students too. 

The "Character Strengths" we think she has are:
-Curiosity: Why? Because, she is always searching for new things for her classes, or just searching for new stuff she will like to know about. She also asks a lot about all new music or movies, etc, etc.
-Optimism: Optimism? Yes, optimism! She is always happy (which brings zest up too), she is always looking just at the positive side of things. If someone is sad, she goes and cheer him or her up telling them things that make their negative thinking change to a positive one. 
-Zest: Tere is a really happy person. She is always smiling and laughing. In every story she tells, she laughs and makes us laugh too! You will never see her sad around school and she will always bring a smile to your face.

The "Character Strengths" she thinks she has:
-Auto-Control: Because she tries to stay calm in every situation that comes daily (like at classes), etc. Once, she went to a school trip (as a teacher), and they went to a scary building tour thing, and all the students were al afraid (just as her) but she stayed calm and like told everyone jokes and just tried to distract them about the scariness.

Something we like about Tere is that she is really funny and kind and she could be like your best friend. She is a really good teacher and we love her! <3

Last but not least, Happy Teacher's Day!!! 🎉

GRIT

Grit is one of the "Character Strengths" we are going to talk about. Grit means to never giving up on a goal you have for the future, and just keep going! It means to know what you want and just go for it... You can apply GRIT in every single day, maybe you do it without even realising it!

One example were GRIT comes in handy, is maybe at school. You set a personal goal for a 9.0 or higher... You are going to use GRIT for making every homework, studying for every test, and every exam you do will have been made with everything you learned and you worked for.

GRIT is very, very important for every success in life! It gets you high above in the sky...Being a person with GRIT in their daily basis, opens a LOT of opportunities for the future. If you apply GRIT you will see changes in your life...

Lets start TOGETHER working for letting GRIT become part of our lives, lets start thinking about were we can get later on, what we can do, so then we can be persons with this "Character Strength":

Hope you liked our GRIT post! Hope it was interesting and that you learned something new!

GARTITUDE

Today we are talking about GRATITUDE, but what is gratitude? Well we can say GRATITUDE is one of our "Character Strengths" yeah, but in a definition what does GRATITUDE is...?

GRATITUDE is simply to appreciate everything life gives you. For the stuff you have right now (family, food, clothes, etc) to be enough. It is to be happy with what you have already and don´t ask for more things like toys or money...

This is one of the Character S. that comes in almost daily basis, at least it should. We say this because you go out and the streets are FULL of homeless people, and that makes us think about what we have and be grateful about it.

Stop ones to make up your mind again and just get your ideas clear.
