when I need to boost my mood or re-focus , I listen to music or go outing play soccer. Music and soccer are some of my passions that make me happy and help clear my head so I’m not so off task. A future plan for me is to get my L when I turn 16 and to get a soccer scholarship.
At the beginning of the year I tried out for the senior girls soccer team and I made it. It was a big accomplishment for me because Im only in grade 9. I didn’t expect to play as much as the others sense I was younger. I was apart of the back 4 and helped the team win the league and provincials.

| focus more in school | to not get distracted with my phone or others in class and focusing more on the subject so I’m prepared for any test or assignments. |
By studying more and taking notes it will help me get a better grade and get smarter. Getting my homework time and making a routine so I stress less about school and get behind. I make decisions based off my value from school cause work hard to get a B/A I’m every subject. I can manage and support my well being by getting lots of rest in the weekends and weekdays so I’m awake for school and ready to learn. I can monitor and progress my goals by managing my screen time which will allow me to focus more.
I managed my stress by listening to music because when I focus on the melody and the words if the song everything in my mind disappears. I have temporary stress so when listen to music at night it goes away. Technology gives me access to music. I also manage my stress by watching funny people on YouTube because they always make me laugh.
I am kind to others, and support others when they need it. I always support my friends with good decisions but if its not a good choice I always try to help find a better way.
I find it easy to be part of a group. when I’m working with a group of people its less stressful to get it done on time and its better when I work with others so I can make connects with them.
I demonstrate respectful, inclusive behaviour. when people are off to the side during an activity I try my best to always include them so they don’t feel left out.
When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I… I tend to lose focus when I’m trying to do my homework at home. When I lose focus the majority of the time it’s because I’m on my phone. At school, I tend to get distracted by what’s around me or by zoning out because I’ve got something else on my mind or I don’t understand what to do for the assignment. Often at home I reread the assignment when I’m having a hard time understanding it because I usually get distracted in class. My goal is to try and focus more on my assignment in class by being more interactive and at home to clear the area I’m working on, so I don’t get any distractions. A way that has helped me keep my focus at home is by listening to music. Music helps me concentrate on lots of things I do like soccer but mostly schoolwork. I used to get distracted by the lyrics and dance to it, but now I don’t dance often to music and the lyrics help me with writing and other subjects.it was last year that I realized music helped me focus more. A thing that helps me re-focus when studying for a test is to review the topic, take notes and then ask one of my family members to quiz me and whatever I got wrong or mixed up I review it all again. It doesn’t sound like much, but it helps me remember for the test/quiz. The last thing that helps me more is being more awake so I can go to sleep early and get at least 9 hours of sleep, so I wake up on time and feel more energized for the day.
When I’m sad, angry, or frustrated, doing … helps me be more productive or calm… most of the time when I get a bad mark or grade, I tend to get frustrated and angry at myself because I knew I could do better if I just put a that bit more of effort the night before and because of that I also tend to get sad. I also get extremely frustrated when I don’t understand the assignment at all and none of my friends can help me because I got nervous about asking a question in front of the class. My goal is to regulate my emotions when a bad grade comes across my path and not stress about it. Some ways I can do that are by asking more questions.
An example of something I have spent a lot of time learning about is… most of my time this year I have been playing soccer in my backyard or busy with practices. I think all the work I have put into soccer will pay off if I just gain the bravery for 1vs1. This spring I’m thinking of trying out for the centennial soccer team to help me get even better.
To summarize, my 3 goals this semester are to try and focus more in class and at home, control my emotions when I get a bad mark or grade and to become confident in soccer.
