Identity

Identity to me has changed because I'm starting to see the bigger picture. At the beginning of the year, identity just meant that I was a 7th grade student at Mountain Middle School. Now I see much more. I believe that I am a person trying to grow to become a better person. I'm looking towards the future and I want to be a good person and create a positive impact. 

I struggled a lot with group work at the beginning of the year because I felt like nobody was listening to my ideas. When I'm in groups now I try to consider the whole groups view point as better, and I encourage them with their ideas even if their ideas seem pretty dumb instead of just thinking mine are better. This has led our group to make decisions a lot quicker and easier. I know the projects I make in my group are not my own and I try to have our group make projects with more unity. I still struggle in group work and I have decided to work on my own a few times, but I feel like as long as I'm trying my best it counts, and I definitely feel like I'm trying my best. 

I feel like when I work through challenges I am becoming a more responsible person and that I feel more confident in myself when I face more challenges. I think that I am capable of overcoming hard things that get in my way and I'm excited to go into 8th grade next year. Thank you everyone for listening to my 7th grade TPOL. Are there any questions?
