An example of something I have spent a lot of time learning about is the importance of linear and quadratic expressions, equations, systems, and inequalities. Throughout the semester I practiced using a variety of methods to solve problems involving those topics and discovered how these concepts can be applied to real life situations.
To celebrate an accomplishment, such as doing well on an exam, I take a break to do something I enjoy, such as playing video games. However, I try to limit the amount of time I spend doing low-effort, high-dopamine activities, devoting as much time as possible to higher-effort tasks that are more rewarding in the end.
Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in my assignments and tests, where I strive to make it clear how I arrived at the answer, including steps and calculations.
By being friendly and respectful in the classroom, I make a positive difference to my peers.
