El Comedor Asistencial A.C. Mi Mano Contigo

 Mi Mano Contigo

Last weekend me and my classmates went to the comedor "Mi mano contigo". There we gave breakfast to a lot of kids, who really need it. We organize the whole thing, I thing that we made a really good job I am very proud of us. While we were there I learned a lot of thing, those kids made me realize that there are a lot of things to smile and be happy about. I would not change a thing about the visit, maybe just the fact that we arrived a little bit late, but even though the kids enjoy their breakfast.

Life Plan: Habit #5

Seek First to understand, then to be understood

Habit number 5 is about learning how to see things from another point of view before sharing your own. A whole new world of understanding opens to us when we apply this habit. This habit includes five poor listening styles; spacing out, pretend listening, selective listening, word listening and self-centered listening. I think that I am a very good listener, I am always quiet and I enjoy hearing people tell me their problmes, worries or joys, but if I have to choose one poor listening style I choose spacing out. I choose it because sometimes I get distracted very easily, sometimes it is not even my intention. I think I have to work on that.

How to be  a good listener

1.- Be quiet

2.- Pay attention

3.- See things from another point view

4.- Show interest

5.- Do not be rude

Life Plan: Habit #4

Small Acts of  Kindness:

School: I try to make small acts of kindness at school everyday, I just tell my friends they look good or how much I love them. This week I help my friends with their homeworks.

Home: I helped my mom to clean the kitchen. I helped my little brother to make his homework and I took care of my dad when he got a headache.

Community:  On friday I went to Los Pioneros Park for a walk. When I was there I saw a lot of papers and trash, so I dicided to pick them up and put them on a trash can. I felt great doing it, I think that I felt that way because it was spontaneous.

Additional: On Saturday some of my classmates and I  gave breakfast to kids who live on a place called "Los Presidentes". I felt great and proud of us, the kids had a great time and enjoy their breakfast. Some of the kids made us drawings, I really enjoy spending time with them.

• What is the biggest relationship deposit a friend has made with you?

• Being unloyal was the biggest withdrawl someone made to me. I was able to repair it. It took me a lot of time, but I think it was worth it.

Gene 23 Integration Challenge

 First Integration Challenge

The past Thursday October 1st we had our first integration challenge as Gene 23. The challenge consisted on spending the whole break attached to another person. We were supposed to be attached only with people that are not part of our classroom, but for some reason I didn´t  find anyone. I was attached to Karla and Sebas, I had a really fun time with them. It was funny how we tried to move all together. I really enjoy this activity and I am looking forward for the next one. What I would change is that for the next time, I would like to meet new people.

Letter of Thanks

Letter of Thanks to my mom


I wrote the letter of thanks to my mom because I couldn´t think of anyone else than her. I owe my life to her, she is the most amazing human being on earth. I read the letter to my mom last Friday while we were baking brownies. She told me that I didn´t had to thank her for anything, that all that she has made for me is because she loves me. I felt great making this activity and sharing this moment with my mom.
Here is a picture of my letter:
