Journal 10_ About Myself

Hello students,

This would be your last blog for the semester. You had begun the semester by writing about yourself, Now I would like you to end the semester by writing something about yourself. It is very easy to pick out our weaknesses (shortcomings); however, it is not very easy to reflect on what we like about ourselves. For this blog, please do some self-reflection and make a list of all the good things about yourself. Do not rush this work. Take your time and write all that you like about yourself. Then put the points you listed in a paragraph form. Please elaborate on each of the points and explain why you like a certain quality that you possess. You may give examples from your life or opinion of others about that personality trait in you. Each one of us is special, and we would like to know about each other. Please reply to your classmates and appreciate and encourage each other. This blog is due on Thursday, May 4th.
