We’re on Adventure 02, and I’m already seeing my students make true connections. Many have said they’re implementing their action steps (GPS) to spend less time on screens and more time on their passions.

Although many of my Spanish- speaking students are shy, they are finding the material relatable, and share with each other in their groups extremely well, so I applaud your ReAct section of the pamphlet (Adventure).

Last week we learned about being more courageous and how we should do it. I said that I would begin to not care about what others think because that is what is holding me back. Since last week I've tried to be more confident by believing that I don't need anyone's approval, I honestly feel so much better and I think it got rid of a bit of all the stress I have had built up.

During the Sole Effects Journey, the goals that I've set for myself have been working. Although they're not as big as I wanted them to be, it's still progress and I know that I will succeed with time and consistent effort. One of the goals I set for myself was screen time because my screen time has been over 50 hours per week. But what we've been doing in class, I kinda felt forced in a good way to take action for my poor habits. I'm now spending more time drawing and I feel very proud of myself. It's something I've been postponing for like a year because I was so unmotivated to do anything and just wanted to scroll on my phone.

I found it challenging to follow through on my action steps last week. While I did practice being assertive in some situations, there were times when I still found myself agreeing with others even when I had a different opinion. I realized that I have a deeply ingrained fear of conflict and that it will take time and practice to overcome this habit. However, I didn't give up and I kept reminding myself of my goal to stay true to my own beliefs and values.
