One assignment I like to do with my 6th-grade students is to have them put together a slideshow about themselves using every letter of the alphabet. So I thought it would be fun to do that today.
Authentic – What you see is what you get. I am not fake to anyone.
Bashful – When in a crowded room I will not be the one to spark a conversation with people. People usually have to come to me.
Cautious – Whenever I am making decisions, I have to plan out every detail beforehand.
Diligent – I have to make sure when I am doing something for someone else, every detail has to be perfect.
Easygoing – I am really relaxed and informal especially around my friends and family.
Faithful – Whether it is family or friends, I am always there for them.
Generous – I love to take care of others before myself. My heart is full when I know that I helped others.
Honorable – I always play by the rules (except for speeding).
Impatient – When people are late or we are late getting somewhere I can be very impatient. It changes my mood almost instantly.
Judgmental – I judge myself daily. I don’t do that to anyone else. (I’m still working on this one.)
Kindhearted – My disposition is very approachable. I try daily to be kind to everyone I meet.
Lovesome – I am warm and affectionate to others. I am a hugger!
Maternal – My profession has helped me to hone this quality. I treat my students as if they were my own children.
Natural – Everything from my style to my makeup is very natural and basic.
Optimistic – Looking on the bright side of things is way more fun!
Peaceable – Peace at any price is how I treat life. I want everyone to be happy and get what they need.
Quiet – When I am in a crowded room with people I don’t know well, I am very quiet and just listening. Even when I am with others I am usually pretty quiet.
Resourceful – If there is a problem to be solved, I am out on the Internet scouring for solutions.
Sentimental – I can get emotional at times watching my kiddos doing something amazing, watching a sappy movie, or even when my students go above and beyond what they are capable of.
Trustworthy – Your secret is safe with me!
Upbeat – Especially when I am around music. It makes me so happy!
Vague – When I am telling a story or giving directions verbally I tend to miss some key details and it can cause some miscommunication.
Willing – I am pretty much willing and able to help anyone who needs it.
Xenodochial – A friendly smile and opening doors for strangers makes this world a better place.
Youthful – I don’t want to grow older.
Zestful – I absolutely love live and I try to live it to the fullest.
Sometime when you have some extra time (or you’re bored because you ran out of things to do during the quarantine) try making a list of your qualities A-Z. A fantastic website I use with my kiddos is http://adjectivesstarting.com/
