1^st virtue: Cleanliness

     The virtue I am picking to is Cleanliness. Cleanliness is the practice of keeping of keeping yourself and your surroundings clean. For example, I will try to keep my room and book bag organized. I am picking this particular virtue because I just had a family death and I am mess right now and I have to get back on my back. My plan to grow my virtue is everyday when I come back from school is to make sure everything is in place. For example, when I take off my uniform, instead of leaving it on my chair, I will take it directly to the hamper. Or when I finish my homework, instead of leaving my stuff on my desk I will put it in my book bag.

 2^nd virtue: Tact

     The second virtue I am choosing is tact. Tact is a keen sense of what to do or say in order to maintain good relations with others or avoid offense. For example, if one of my friends tells me something mean, instead of arguing back, I will just ignore them. I chose this because I don’t want to get into any arguments with my friends. Another example if my teacher yells at me, instead of talking back, I will just accept the fact I am wrong. My plan on growing this virtue is to think twice about the response I am about to give.

3^rd virtue: Flexibility

     My third virtue is flexibility. Flexibility is willing to change or to try different things. The reason I chose the virtue flexibility is because I want to try new things because I’ve been very sick since March and I want to enjoy everyday to its fullest. For example, if my friends are doing something new, fun and safe, I would want to join just to enjoy life to its fullest. My plan to grow this virtue is instead of saying no to new activities, instead I will try them out. For example, if my friend were to need help with homework, I would leave soccer practice a few minutes earlier to help her.
