A situation that I successfully showed character strengths was when I needed to get a 80 in a test, so I studied so hard, I did all the homeworks that the teacher gave us, I paid attention in class, and in the test got a 84. This situation showed zest because I didn't gave up, and I could accomplish my goal of get a 80 or more.

Practicing the character strenghts can help us to relate better with people, develop curiosity skills and this can help us to do things such as enlarge of vocabulary, or maybe reading more books, planing different projects. if we forgive and apoligize we will feel a lot better with ourselves. Some people don´t see the logic in apoligizing or forgiving because the mistake was already done you already hrt someone and it will not change it. It may be truth you can not change the past aplogizing and forgiving but you can change the future.

Today we want to talk about a problem we personally have been through. This problem is not being able to forgive someone. Both of us had never been to forgive some things did to us. An example is that months ago one of us had some problems with a friend because of something that friend told and did to her. The other person recognize her mistake and apologize several times until she gave up. Now she regrets not accepting her apologize and not applying the forgiveness.

We are going to talk about Ana Paula Garcia  and the character stremnghts that make her a good student. She is a very curious person. She always shows a passion in learning new things at school. She is an enthusiastic person because when she likes something puts a lot of effort on it. She never gives up and that is what make her a good student. She applied this in the Science Fair because she had a problem with the experiment one day before the Science Fair so she work hard all day to make a good experiment and a good presentation for the Science Fair.

Tips for school

1. Don't copy: it's better not to deliver the work or homework than to deliver the homework but being dishonest, you are being honest.
2. Be curious: show interest in learning new things or you can associate something that for you is boring or difficult to learn with another topic that is funny for you.
3. Be kind: treat others nicely so you cna have a lot of friends.
4. Do not judge others: before making a judgment, first take your time to know each other.
5. Be hoppeful: do not let dumb things bring you down.

ABOUT OURSELVES

We think that the Charcter Strenghts that we emphasized the most are tolerance, optimism, self control, and honesty. 

We think we have tolerance because i always let them express their opinion and their feelings even if I don´t think the same as them. We also think we have optimism because we show happiness even in dificulties.
We have self control because we control our feelings and impulses.
We have honesty because we always tell the truth.
We have applied all of the charcter strenghts above when we work in team because we need to tolerate each other, show optimism, control ourselves and always tell the truth.
