Reflection:
| 1. My family, friends, teachers, and my pets. But my mom and dad is always there for me and understand how I feel and my teacher is always pushing me to be better but yet be cool and also teach us life lessons too. And my pets give me so much love and they make me smile. And my friends because they always make me laugh and they're super nice. 2. I am my classmates superhero because we are always trying to help each other too. And the kids that I am babysitting and my family whenever there sick or not good I would like to help them. 3. My superpower is to make them laugh and smile. I do this trick is to make them feel comfortable but then it will make me feel comfortable too and that way we can have a conversation and start off good. 4. I use that superpower for good when people are feeling down are really shy or bored. Then I try to make them laugh or smile. 5. My kryptonite is that worrying and anxiety mostly for school.I would really start to freak out and get confused and angry and sometimes even cry. 6. The way that I am going to ensure is that I will hope that they will be okay like to study them and see mood swings to see if they've changed and become happier or sadder and try to become their friend. And just to take it slow week after week till it's over. |
