AULAS FELICES (III)

I can make it!

Objectives: Learn to face the future with decision and confidence in the capa- own speeds
Development:
Optimism is not just hope for the best for the future, we must also work to get it with the conviction that we will be able to achieve our goals. This activity can put us in a position to boost our self-esteem and confidence in the future. We tell students to imagine themselves in 5, 10 or 15 years, and think of a goal they would like to achieve and that can be achieved within those years (for example: to be a good basketball player, to have a lot of friends, overcome Secondary Schools with good grades, play a musical instrument ...). Then they have to think what they need to do to reach that goal and propose a plan of action.
This exercise will be carried out individually, and each students will be expected to reflect and note down the actions they consider to be necessary to reach the goal. Subsequently, students may share in common their  individual reflections. As a final touch, each student can write a slogan, understood as a personal statement of encouragement to achieve this and other future goals; for example: "If I try, I'm can", "No pain, no gain", etcetera.
