My first virtue is discipline, meaning to be well behaved, follow the rules and to be respectful. I am picking this because I sometimes tend to talk in class, when I’m not supposed to, to my friends. I whisper to my friends and then I get told to stop talking. I don't know, but I just sometimes don’t follow rules because I don’t think they are necessary. I respect teachers but not as much. I listen and pay attention to teachers but I talk so I guess that would be considered being disrespectful to my teachers. My plan In order to fix that is to be more active in class so that the teachers know that I am not talking in class. And also to follow rules that my parents, coaches, or teachers have imposed in me.

The second virtue I chose is forgiveness, saying that you stop yourself from being angry at a person for doing something that might’ve got you upset and to be able to be forgiving to whoever it may be. The reason for this virtue is because whenever I tend to be upset at someone I just don’t say sorry. I kept being upset at them for a long time. Last year, my friend did something really weird and I was really mad at him and I just couldn’t talk to him for the rest of the school year. It literally took me a long time to forgive him for what he’s done, but now we are friends again and he promised me he wouldn’t do it ever again. Now I learned that to understand the person’s action you have to understand their character and what they’re going through, weather it has to with how society views that person or what that person’s life is like and etc. therefore my plan is to keep what I said in mind and to put yourself in their shoes in order to understand them and why they did what they did. And be able to forgive them for what they did.

My third virtue is joyfulness. This virtue is basically to be a person that is happy all the time. I can be happy most times but sometimes I am just in a really bad mood and idk why. Like sometimes I can be in a very bad mood that will prevent me from being happy. I want to be a happier person, meaning that I would like to be happy more often than usual. Like everytime I get home I seem upset in some way. It’s just very hard for me to be in a joyous mood, especially when I have a lot of homework and stuff to do. My plan to grow me into this virtue is for me to think of something happy and just let it take over my mood. Like when I am frustrated and stressed, I should always think of something to bring my mood up or just take a break from it and do something that will make me less of an unhappy person.
