What is your definition of Confidence?

My definition of confidence is being brave and trying new things and being okay if you fail. 

What is something that you have confidence in doing?

I have gained a lot more confidence in Math this year compared to last year because I feel like I have started to really try to get better and not just sit there and ask for help the seconded that something gets hard and to be okay with getting something wrong.

 How has your confidence developed during your sixth grade year? (Discuss 2 examples, one class related and one personal example)

1. I think that I have grown in Humanities because I can now work in groups better and still work hard and do my part of the assignment and my partners can do theirs.

2. A personal example is riding horses I feel like At the beginning of the year I was on a young pony that was pretty naughty and we were behind everyone but I kept trying and I gained confidence and now I am jumping and showing him in horse shows and I feel like we are starting to get somewhere.

What can challenges or failures teach us about confidence? (Discuss at least one personal example)

I think that my pony has taught me to keep trying the most because he would be bad and I would get mad and want to give up but I know that you won't get anywhere if you give up so I keep trying and now we are so much farther than I thought we would be if I quit. 

What is one area you have developed confidence in so far this year?

So far this year I have mainly developed confidence in Math and Science. At the beginning of the year I didn't feel very confident in math because I haven't practiced it in a while and I was just really confused on the math program and nothing made sense, but as the year went on I began to feel better about my math and it started to make more sense when I got to a trickier problem. Next in Science I have never really done very well in science because it really never just clicked with me like other subjects did, but as the school year went on I began to get better and it started to make more sense, so now I can actually attempt to solve what ever the problem is instead of just having to ask for help on every single thing. Finally that is how my confidence has changed so far this year.
