PODCAST - JOKE

E-MAIL TO MY TEACHER - My dreams

Hello!

Nowadays I am studying social batxillerat and I’m in the second year and also the last year in my current high school! I am doing these studies because in my future I want to do Publicity or Pre-school Education, but I think that these things aren’t really my dreams because I don’t feel passion for these things.

When I was little I started dancing and since that moment I thought: Ok, this is my dream and my passion and I want to achieve it!
Bit by bit I got better at dancing and I hope that one day this dream stops being a dream and begins to be an important part of my life.
I want to be like a boy called Hugo Rosales Molina. This boy was a contestant in “Fama, a bailar”. In the programme he progressed a lot and for this reason Hugo is dancing with international singers or bands. I don’t want to talk about this but, one of my dreams became real when I met him in a dance competition four years ago, more or less. I will remember this day forever!!

Another dream for me is to do rafting. I love adventures and I hope that this objective will be reached before the end of this year.  I would like to do rafting in Lleida because the scenery is spectacular! Of course if I go to Lleida I don’t want to go alone, I would go with my friends because they really like adventures too! My friends are Rosó, Ari, Sandra, Ari and Miriam. They also have accomplished one of my dreams: Have true friends in my life. I can trust them a lot, I feel the happiest person in the world! I owe them everything, without my friends I don’t know what I would be doing now with my life.

In conclusion, I think that I prefer to live my life in the present, now without dreams, because I think that dreams are only dreams. However, it will be interesting to see if my dreams become reality.

See you soon!

THE KEY TO SUCCESS? GRIT


SUMMARY

Angela Lee Duckworth is a teacher of “tweens”. Bit by bit she sees that IQ doesn't have a lot of importance.  After this she thinks that there is a deficiency for understanding students from a psychological perspective. For this reason she leaves the classes and begins to study psychology. In her psychological classes Angela wonders which is the key for success and why this happened. In her experiments Lee comes to one conclusion: There is one characteristic that stands: the GRIT. Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals, it is having stamina, sticking with your future, it is living life like it's a marathon not a sprint. She considers that gradually people must grow mentality of. If they strive, they are better prepared fo failures because they know, failures aren't a permanent condition.


MY OPINION
In my opinion I agree with Angela Lee Duckworth because I think that IQ tests aren't correct. I think that the intelligence of people can't be measured with one test. People are clever in different ways and perhaps in that test some don't have a good mark. Grit is very important to achieve and confront problems better; This emotion is a sample of maturity, intelligence and wisdom.

I think that I have a lot of grit because, in my opinion, if you don't try it, you never know what can happen. Everybody must be positive and optimists and think that WE CAN!
