(Ninth week)

Some days ago my english teacher did an activity that consisted in talk with our classmates about ourselves and I really loved it! It was such a beautiful activity because I learn interesting things about my friends and partners and I think those kind of activities help us to be closer. This activity inspired me to write more about myself and now I want to share the things that I love more about my personality because I thing this is most important than the physical.

• Persistence

I consider myself a persistence person because if I want something I do everything I can to get it. I think it is related with the discipline because if you really want something you have to be disciplined doing things that will help you to reach what you want. For example, if your purpose is to lose weight, you have to be constant and persistence doing exercise and obviously disciplined to do it frequently. My mom told me since I was child «El que persevera alcanza» and I always have it in my mind.

• Responsability

I know I’m responsable because I ever take into account the important things that I have to do, sometimes when I think I will foget something, I make a reminder and it help me not to forget anything, also, you could ask someone that remember you to do something. I think to be responsable it’s fundamental to organize your priorities and your time and to be focus on that.

• Kindness

I consider myself a kind person because I always try to help, I think it doesn’t matter if is a small or big gesture of amiability, the importance is to help without receiving something in return. For example, few days ago I was in the toilet of the university waiting to a friend, and then a girl I didn’t know came in and she had a lot of books in her hands, the problem was that the toilet available had no lock to close the door, so I offered help and she accepted; I help her to hold her books and the door while she was inside the bathroom. I felt really good because she was really grateful with me and I know most of the times good actions improve the day of people. Also she was shocked when I offered help because unfortunately, now it’s not common to meet kind people. It is easy to help our friends but I think the really kindness is based on help unknown people too.

• Happiness and gratitude

There are many things more that I love about myself but those are the principal things. I put happiness and gratitude in the same line because for me those things work together, since a time ago I started to focus on the good things and I realized that I had more good things in my life than bad ones, so I started to feel grateful with everything, also with the «bad» things and moments because those help me to progress and to be a better person. Since that moment my life change completely. I really know that when you feel grateful, immediately you start to feel happy!. Besides, I really love to be optimistic, it is related to be happy and persistence, now I’m still focusing on the good things and I’m so proud of that.
