Blog Post#2-Part 2-Flow Achieved?

So for the past few days I've been using my creativeness to help me with my homework and studying. For homework, I try to see how much of an assignment I can do before the end of 15 minutes. I got the idea from Mr. Fitzgerald and it was really helpful. For studying, I'd draw pictures of things to help me remember "Why Ice Floats" or what the main ideas of "Fun Home" are. I wasn't able to achieve flow with the homework portion but the studying portion was really easy to flow with. While I was focusing on certain homework, I forgot to do some of the other assignments(like this blog post).

Blog Post#2 Part 1-Signature Strength Applied

So my best strength is "Humor" but I have no idea how to apply it towards homework. I mean I could try to make it funny but I really don't see that happening. Homework has always been a type of chore for me. I've never found myself laughing at homework so this will be quite a challenge. Today I learned from my teacher that I could instead use my other strength of "Creativity" and make homework a type of challenge, like a kind of game. I'm really curious to see if it'll work so I'll start doing it today.

Blog Post #1=Who Are You?

I feel that the results that the VIA Survey gave were accurate. My top five strengths are Appreciation of Beauty & Excellence, Creativity, Honesty, Kindness, and my favorite one, Humor. I love making people laugh, if I can make someone smile then I can smile. It makes me feel good inside when I can make someone laugh. I like thinking of ways a problem could be solved, it's like puzzles. I am mostly honest with people when I need to be, but there are times when we must lie. I always try to be nice to new people I meet, good impressions are everything to how a person judges you. My bottom five strengths are Spirituality, Perseverance, Zest, Love of Learning, and at the very bottom, Forgiveness. I never have enough energy when I'm at school. I always feel tired because I go to sleep late. Learning in school is ok to me, it all depends on two things: Do I like the teacher, and do I enjoy the subject. If both of those are no, then I know I will fail the class. I like most of my college teachers, they're a lot more lenient than my Freshmen year teachers at High School. It's really hard for me to forgive people sometimes. If they have said or done something to me that is messed up, I begin to ignore them and cut them off from my life. There were some surprises among the results. I thought Loyalty would've been lower than spirituality, because I am not a good leader. If I am not confident in the subject at hand, I won't be confident as a leader. According to the results, I am someone who you can trust, will make you laugh, thinks creatively, is kind, and appreciates beauty. It describes how I work better alone even though I wish to meet new people. There are many other types of surveys on the internet,  but they weren't as accurate as the one I took today.
