One of the virtues that I wish to work on is courage. It is probably one of the virtues that I am least acquainted with. I'm kinda shy around people i don't know so it's kind of hard to be courageous until I hang with my good friends. I am particularly picking this virtue because it is probably the one I need to work on the most, and in my opinion one of the best. If you are courageous, you can do a bunch of other good deeds, such as help people in need, stop fights, or make the geometry teacher give you 100 in participation. My plan for growing on this virtue is to try and get into healthy relationships with new people. Start talking to people, make new friends, be chill with teachers, that is probably my best bet to increasing my courageousness.

The second virtue I wish to work on is confidence. It is related to courage however it is not the same to me. Courage affects people around you, however confidence is completely discreet and to yourself. Nobody truly know is you are confident or not, the only one who can know is yourself. I'm picking this virtue to focus on because, it is once again a virtue that I lack. In simple circumstances, like a quiz or something, I am barely 100 percent confident in my answers, especially when they require elaboration. And then with the big things, my confidence is probably 0. I play soccer competitively,and when I take penalty kicks or something that involves only me, I get absolutely terrified. My plan to improve my confidence is probably is to block out the haters. You know, if you just try your best or whatever, you won't care about other people's opinions.

I had to search up a third virtue because I didn't want to write about any of the others. The third virtue I wish to work on is moderation. I am pretty obsessed with things, school definitely not being one of them. I want to have this virtue so that I can stop being obsessed with the useless games and stuff :( So if I did everything in moderation, I could be "eh" at everything, and eventually be OK at everything. My plan to focus on moderation is the basic "Lay off the games and do something productive" mentality of parents. It's pretty hard, but I'm working on it.

  1. great job Derek, I really liked the virtues you picked. I liked how you picked moderation, because not many people thought of this but I think it is an important virtue.
