Personal Health & Awareness

I respectfully advocate for my needs by making sure I am always up to date with all my work and make sure I am never missing any work because I don’t like having lots of work not handed in on time. I feel very unorganized, so I always ensure I am all caught up even if I miss some days. Ways I can do this is to email my teacher and make sure I know everything I should from what I missed and that ensures I am up to date and I know what to do. I try to respectfully advocate for myself in my daily life to make myself feel organized and on the right track. When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I take breaks whenever I’m studying or doing homework, for example, I take a break from doing homework and go on my phone for a few minutes to rejuvenate my brain, sometimes I go outside to my backyard and shoot some hockey pucks or play basketball which helps me and after I always feel ready and focused to continue finishing my work.

Core Competency

I can understand and share information about a topic of interest in a clear, organized way. For example, In PE, I listen to the teacher or peer tutor about the rules and how to play the game/sport, and for any of my classmates who were late or weren’t paying attention, I can explain to them the rules in a clear organized way.

I advocate for myself. I demonstrate this by emailing the teacher about what I missed, for example, where are we going tomorrow for class, or what work have I missed. Things like that are some of the ways I can advocate for myself.

I can form new ideas to create new things. I can also build on the ideas of others. I can demonstrate this for example If we needed to think of what to play in class I could say basketball and another one of my classmates might say another sport, basically I can create ideas but also build off of others and get to a conclusion of whats best.

I can show a sense of accomplishment and joy. I take pride in my work and myself. I can demonstrate this for example in pe class when I score a goal or score a point, I show accomplishment and celebrate, same thing with my work, when I do well on a test I feel good and I take pride in knowing I did good on something I worked for.

I can persevere over time to develop my ideas, and I expect setbacks and failure, but use that to develop my ideas. I chose this because it’s one I want to work towards getting better at because personally, I’m not very patient in the sense of for example taking a while to think of ideas or do things after failing to accomplish them because I easily get down on myself and have no motivation to try again and most of the time I just don’t feel like it. So to get toward my goal I’m going to start trying to change my mentality and instead of getting down on myself so easily and quitting instead use that to motivate me to continue and work harder and if I slowly continue to do this strategy I believe I can get good with this competency.
