For your blog post this week, I want you to pick one of these 8 traits and decide how you will use it this week, and what that will look like? Will you demonstrate passion during a sports event? Will you persist through a tough subject at school? Spend your time focussing on that ONE thing so you don’t spread yourself too thin. It's totally up to you what you pick but write down a plan and see if it helps!
How do you define success? Are you feeling successful? This very interesting TedEd talk by Richard St.John takes conversations that he has had with extremely successful people and he has found 8 traits or things that they all do that have helped them succeed.

This Video really inspired me to work harder and to do everything with a passion... Even though there are some things that I really don't like but I still do them,
this is a motivating speech probably one of the most motivating I've ever heard it is also very inspirational it inspired me to do lots of things to become a bigger person. The 8 traits can really help a lot of people like me and others it will most likely help everyone in this class or even Country many even this world we can all be led to success and achievements.

I really enjoyed watching that video because it was really motivational and really interesting,why is it interesting you might ask?, well his story started off but not knowing who he really was. he didn't know if he was successful or if he was how did he be successful.....?

The trait that I will practice this week to demonstrate success will be to push myself to become a better learner. To do that I will not talk during a lesson or fool around with my friends. Instead I will pay attention, listen to others and if I need help I will ask for it so I can understand what we are learning.

One of the 8 traits I will work on this week is "Improve". I just recently made the jr girls volley ball team and I noticed quite a few skills I need to improve on, such as my serves and volley's.So this week I have been practicing the skills in my house or outside when I get the chance and have already noticed a great improvement.

The video inspired me to do something I'm not good at! like... math! *cue dramatic music* Hahaha I'm just kidding! But it inspired me to be successful, this time I'm not kidding. I will improve on stuff I'm not good at, like working as a video game designer! I always liked video games, so I will make my own video game, with a group! I want to practice on a coding website called scratch.
