Personal Ethics
1. Of the ethics and virtues that we have discussed and read about so far which ones stand out to you the most? Make two lists and specify the source of the ethic: Twain, Kant, Emerson, Campbell, Bauer, Franklin, etc.
Susan Campbell in The book Getting Real describes different kinds of ethics to live a real life. These are the ethics that I like the most because are ethics to live a real life in order to grow as a person. I think that is very important that in life we have to look for being happy having responsibilities. This book makes me reflect on my responsibilities in having a healthy relationship with the people that live around me. Because if I´m a great student and I´m a genius in many skills but I haven’t a good relationship and good communication with others I´m not going to be happy in this life and also many goals that I would like to catch there´s going to be impossible to have it because of the bad relationship that I have with people. Other ethics that I discover in this book is being real not only with the people that live around me but also with me. I have learned to focus more on who I am and the good thinks that I can develop in order to improve the ones that are difficult and bad for me. Also I have learned to forgive myself because all the time I measure the task I didn’t complete during the day and I make me feel very culpable and frustrated. Because of that I make a negative wall in myself and is more difficult to me to continue achieving my tasks. Now I learned that I have to be grateful and happy with the task that I real finished in order to continue doing the ones that are missing.
b. The following are the ethics of a learner that I am consistently demonstrating in my daily work and interactions.
Taking notes and writing in my documentation what I consider is important of the books and essays that we read.
Reasoning and analyzing what I learned.
c. The following are the ethics of a learner that I value but do not consistently
- Being on time every day for every discussion.
- Read specific quantity of pages of a book in a day.
- Be part of the debrief
- Share what I think and what I analyzed of some books, articles and activities with
my friends.
- Document everything that I do or learn just before do it.
2. Give an example of when you stood up for the ethics we are trying to practice at the MPC.
- Being on time most of the times
- Listen the one who is talking
3. Give an example of when you ignored the ethics we are trying to practice at the MPC.

o Personal Contributions
1. Please list the rubric rules that you have personally contributed/suggested at MPC.
No one
2. Please give a full account of your facilitation of Morning Meeting including a one-page write-up that would allow a future student to replicate your Morning Meeting.
In many of the morning meetings I recognize that most of the time I didn’t participated saying something about a specific thing. I like that if I’m going to talk I want to say something really important. I use this time to really know how is the personality of the others pioneers and also the way they express themselves doing something that they like.
When I was in charge of the morning meeting I tried to choose an activity that can help the others pioneers in their new culture of learning and also in all aspects of their life. When I talk about aspects I’m referring to the feelings and emotions of them. I put a video about getting the right perspective, it is a conference given by Joel Osteen. It is very useful to my life because it make me to be thankfully about all the good opportunities that I have in this life. When I am frustrated about all the work that I have to do in the MPC and the different tasks that I have to complete in my life I tried to think that there are many people that would like to be in my place doing what I´m complaining to do and they can´t. This message is about enjoying everyday that we lived because it never came back.

I have to commit with myself to have more responsibilities in the work that I’m doing in the MPC.

I discover how now I didn’t hate geometry and math, also I am very excited because of the quantity of readings that I have read in this Cycle. I know that there are many things that I have to improve during this second cycle but also I am very proud of myself for what I have completed in the cycle 1.

Seven Thinking Dispositions
Please give one example of how you are demonstrating each of the seven thinking dispositions at the MPC. If you cannot think of an example, write an example of what you plan to do in the future.
1. “The disposition to be broad and adventurous: the tendency to be open-minded, to explore alternative views; an alertness to narrow thinking; the ability to generate multiple options.
I accept to do or try some different methods in the MPC that i consider it deserve an opportunity to look if it is useful.
2. The disposition toward sustained intellectual curiosity: the tendency to wonder, probe, find problems; a zest for inquiry; an alertness for anomalies; the ability to observe closely and formulate questions.
I need to improve this area and be more open to observe and also to formulate questions and opinions about what i looked.
3. The disposition to clarify and seek understanding: a desire to understand clearly, to seek connections and explanations; an alertness to unclarity and need for focus; an ability to build conceptualizations.
I need to ask my friends to explain me something if I didn't understand because of my ear problems or because i cant understand it.
4. The disposition to be planful and strategic: the drive to set goals, make and execute plans, envision outcomes; alertness to lack of direction; the ability to formulate goals and plans.
I am improving in doing to do lists and evaluate them at the end of the day. Also I want to improve the pomodoro program of 25 minutes of work and 5 of rest.
5. The disposition to be intellectually careful: the urge for precision, organization, thoroughness; an alertness to possible error or inaccuracy; the ability to process information precisely.
.
I have to organize better my time in order to learn more
6. The disposition to seek and evaluate reasons: the tendency to question the given, to demand justification; an alertness to the need for evidence; the ability to weigh and assess reasons.
7. The disposition be metacognitive: the tendency to be aware of and monitor the flow of one's own thinking; alertness to complex thinking situations; the ability to exercise control of mental processes and to be reflective.”
I practice to think and analyze so much previous of talking.

Your Own Reflections on Self-Assessment
Please use this space to add anything relevant to your self-assessment for Cycle One.
I have to commit with myself to have more responsibilities in the work that I’m doing in the MPC. This Cycle was very usefull to me because it demonstrate that if I put all my effort to finished what I propose to myself to learn or to get completed it is possible. I discover how now I didn’t hate geometry and math, also I am very excited because of the quantity of readings that I have read in this Cycle. I know that there are many things that I have to improve during this second cycle but also I am very proud of myself for what I have completed in the cycle 1.
