Like marriage it must not be taken for granted but requires a joint effort." is good having friendship because they help you in the time that you are in need, is good having friendships because sometime they make you happier and they help you but that depends on who you are talking to, because there's some friendships that they put you down and they be like " why working hard for something that you may not do" that's not a good friendship a good friendship is when they push you to go on when they be like Do your work, work hard to be someone in the future, work hard to choose the right and never choose the wrong because if you choose the wrong , bad things will come through your life, friendships help you to go on.

Keep your self-respect." loyalty is about people who stay true to you behind your back, for example: i ma going to be with you if you do right or if you do wrong but if you doing wrong i am going to help you to get it right. be loyal to yourself and with others, let's say like if you have a relationship or you are married you have to be loyal to each other because is very important to be loyal, when both are loyal there's love, trust and happiness, be loyal with your family friends and others, being loyalty means that if you say " i am going to be with you my whole life" and if you do it is because you are loyal and whatever you say and you promised to do it and you do it is because you are loyal.

Block 5: Cooperation

"With all levels of your co-workers. Listen if you want to be heard. Be interested in finding the best way, not in having your own way. " cooperation is important because you can learn new and good things, like if you want to be heard you have to listen to them, when you listen to them when they are expressing themselves you have to listen to them and then you going to be heard, if you are interested on finding something that you want to do be interested on finding the right and doing the right and never give up and if you get your goals and if you get more than what you asked for, also you can help people that need your help.

Be prepared and cover every little detail." everyone has a skill or more than one skill, but you have to prove it you have to work hard and get to know your skills you have to do your best and try your best with your skills, for example in school there's kids that are good at math so what they have to do is work hard to developed their skills on math for example participate in class raising your hand and explain to others, there's some people that have too many skills but sometime they get shy to show them, if you are a student you have skills for example critical thinking and solving problems, in personal life we have decision making because sometimes we doing good or bad things and we have to make good decisions about what is best for us.

Block 15:  Team Spirit

"A genuine consideration for others. An eagerness to sacrifice personal interests of glory for the welfare of all." team spirit is something that a people desire peopleto work with, and when they have spirit they work together they share their ideas and they work hard to reach their goal, for example students for the idp project they work hard, they talk about their ideas, they plan to do differents things they share their work and they work hard to reach thier goals and to reach a goal for idp is thatthey have to present it and explain and ask questions and be responsibles. team spirit in personal life is when the fanmily plans to go for vacations or buy a house they get united and they share their ideas and they help eaach other to get what they want and to reach their goals.

Block 16: Honesty (in thought and action)

"Honesty is the best policy." (Ben Franklin) honesty is my favorite block because i like to be honest and i love honesty for example for students honesty is like being responsible like if you have a homework and when you have to turn your homework you and let's say like you forgot to do your homework and the teacher asks you about it and you say oh i did my homework but i forgot it that's being a bad student but if you are honest you are going to say the truth like oh i didn't do my homework but i promise i'll turn it in tomorrow that's bein honest. and a personal life in a relatonship you have months in your relationship and you got no feelings for the person anymore but you still there that hasn't to be like that because if you have no feelings for that person you have to be honest and talk to them about what you feel.

Block 17: Resourcefulness (proper judgment)
 “Make the most out of what you have.” (Anonymous)
"If you have a dream, if you have something you've always wanted to do, look within yourself because that is where resourcefulness resides; and go for it. (Jennifer Witterick)
resourcefulnes means like you have to show your best more than what you have, for example when you have something to do for the school like a presentation you have to try your best to make it out better than what you have and show to others the appreaciation that you put in it, and we always have to do the best for others in personal life i have my mom's example when people is coming to our house my mom does her best to attended them the perfect way that they will feel happy and proud of her, she cooks good food she does her best to be known, try you best and make the most out of what you have.

Block 18: Poise

"Just being yourself. Being at ease in any situation."

poise is being yourself and is good to be and know about poise because in some of the quotes shows how strong you are is like never give up and be strong, for us as students is like we have to be strong try our best for our home works, class works, tests etc. we have to be strong and never give up and we have to have our balance about all the things that we want to do or be, if you trying to be a good person we have the solution and is only one word that is poise, is very important to know about poise because it will help you to be the best and make what's right, in a personal case is like you get married is because you chose to be like that and you have to respect to each other, love, share and be more than good friends is like you have to try to solve those little mistakes that we all have and never give up and if the person is getting upset that's where you have to stop and be like stop i'm here i love you, you have to try the best to make others feel better and loved.

Block 19: Confidence 

"Thorough preparation breeds confidence" confidence is very important for us, being cofident is belief, trust, and the most important one is faith, i like when it talks about faith because is something very important for us and is something that makes you believe the things without seeing them, confidence as a student: have faith for example if you have a presentation the next day and you have everything done and you have studied and you always get really nervous on something and the next day you be like i have faith that i am going to do great in my presentation and i am going to answer all the questions perfectly because i believe in god, and another one for a personal life is being trustful trust your partner and you'll see the differences there's no going to be fights, violence, trust in a relationship is the key to be always happy with that person that you in love with.

Block 20: Reliability (creates respect)

being reliabilility is trustworthy or someone that wants to keep going, for example someone that has a lot of skills but that person that wants to keep going and get more skills and being responsible and always trying to help others, and is someone that that is trustfull and believer, they have faith that they'll be good and choosing the right, they key is reliability and always choose the right because it helps you to do good and make big differences, we all are the same because god made us with the same type, but we have to work hard to make your still known, choose the right and you'll see the differencess, if you want people to know you like a good person and someone for a good future you have to work hard to make those skills to work better and always always choose the right, and never give up about your life.

Block 21: Fight (determined effort)

fight in somethings is different, but now we are talking about fights but like a fight for your goals, let's say it like i am going to fight to be a better person and never give up and try my best and do what's best for me, and fight means like you are going to work hard to get good grdaes to be a different person and that you kight do anything to reach your goals, want to be a successful person and try our best and for no reasons never give up, because we have to choose to do the right thing and to make good choices, if we work hard is enough to get a successful future in our lives, there's going to be the time that you are doing great but some of the people that are around you is going to try to make you fall down, that means that we have to be ready for any circumstances and to be ready in anything and work hard to reach your goals. 

Block 22: Competitive Greatness

" Be at your best when your best is needed. Enjoyment of a difficult challenge." be at your best and work hard to reach your goals, this is very important because we have to think positive like we have to work hard to make good choices to be tolerant and work hard for our goals, one day we will see the difference and the day is going to come true, but if you are not working hard for it guess what is going to happen, you will get depressed and you will think about all the people that gave you to many advices and you never listened to them , that's what happens when you do not want to fight for your dreams, do not wait to much if you want to be a successful person what are you waiting for just take an intenssion and then the action 100% of each one of them, work hard for your goals and you will see all the differences that happened in your life be a good person and make good choices and never give up, do what's best for you not for others, first of all you have to think about yourself, just think about what will make you happy.

Block 23: Integrity (purity of intention)

integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong morals, be honest anytime and if you want to say the truh do it, is better being honest than be lying to the one person that you in love with, or just be honest and if you make promises you have to be honest and responsible never do the wrong thing, sometimes obviously you will make something wrong or bad but for every single thing  there's a important word that is forgiveness , do your best and never give up on anything, when you start doing the right there's always going to be discussions or you might have a probem, choose the right and take an action and if you want to choose the right take an action and make it happen because if you be like waiting for it to happen it might not happen so that's why you have to make it right away.

Block 24: Faith (through prayer)

Believe and Achieve. Positive belief. faith is the most magnificant word, faith means when you believe in things that you are not even looking at, is like something that is not in front of your eyes or something that you do not have, faith is like believe in dreams , is like saying i have faith id god that  i am going to be a better person and that i am going to help others to be successful, and that i am going to make a difference in the world, is believing in things even though you're not looking at them, but is like you living it, when you have faith is all people wants be faithful and work hard to reach your goals and never give up because every single reason is because something better might happen, never give up or never feel like you are not doing it right. believe in yourself is the first things you have to do but first of all the first thing that you have to do to belive in yourself is that you have look up to god because he is the one that is going to help you to be a better person and nice to yourself, never give up on your dreams just believe in them and you'll see the difference between that have faith and be happy.

Block 25: Patience (good things take time)

patience good things take time, being patient is very important because is the one person that make good things but that person has been working on it for a long time, when they take long time to make something depends on how they work or what patince they put on it is how the work is going to be, we have to be successful, how to be successful if you want to be successful is going to take a long time but it is going to work and you'll love it, takes time to be successful but the time is going to some through an you are going to have a better future and you'll see the differences and good things that you are going to have in your life, you have to keep going and do what's right and never give up and always have a smile on your face and if you want to be different or you want to change that's the solution to do good and work hard for it even though is goping to take time but it matters because when the time comes through you are going to be diffrent and better than yesterday never give up and be patient.
