This year, I would like to develop the skill of being a risk taker or people who embrace changes. This is important to me because I am not a person who is good at embracing changes and try to stick to what it used to be. This causes a lot of limitations such as not being able to explore what I can if I challenge myself. This will limit my joy in school life or life in general and this is problematic in achieving goals that I would like to achieve.
Also, I think I am an over perfectionist. In my opinion, being a perfectionist is a stressful think since you will never get satisfied until it is 100% perfect. Perfection is a rare thing to happen in life, thus, it means that I am stressed or unhappy about what I am doing for my entire life. This will limit my joy and increase my stress level which causes me to be less emotionally intelligent and interact with friends and peers in an undesirable way (mean/ annoying). I personally think this is my case since even I get a fairly good grade, I always get upset unless it is close to perfection. This causes me to not enjoy/ be in a good mood which I think I should be aware and improve on over the two years of IB course.
In addition to those, I think I should improve on caring about others. Since I am really careful and think about myself a lot of the times, I am not able to realise small changes in friends. I think it is a significant thing to care about others and having empathy with them when I think I need to. Since I am not aware of others, I am not able to realise the struggles myself as well since my friends around me tend to be really aware of struggles within themselves as well as others. This skill is significant throughout the life because this skill comes in the core and foundation of any types of social lives.
