In this activity, you will create a personal affirmation. If you repeat your affirmation often, it will help you make choices that will strengthen the personal qualities needed to achieve your goals and dreams. 1. Write a one-sentence statement of one of your most motivating goals or dreams in your role as a student. You can simply copy one that you wrote in Journal Entry 10 (or create a new one if you prefer). 2. Write a long list of personal qualities that would help you achieve this educational goal or dream. Use adjectives such as persistent, intelligent, hard- working, loving, articulate, organized, friendly, confident, relaxed, and so on. Write as many qualities as possible. Identify the three qualities on your list that seem the most essential for you to achieve your goal or dream as a student (the one you identified in Step 1). 3. 4. Write three versions of your personal affirmation. Do this by filling in the blanks in sentence formats A, B, and C that follow. Fill the blanks with the three personal qualities you identified in Step 2. NOTE: Use the same three personal qualities in each of the three formats. Format A: I am a man/woman. Example: I am a strong, intelligent, persistent woman. Format B: I am a man/woman,__ing. Example: I am a strong, intelligent, persistent woman, creating my dreams. Format C: I am a man/woman, and I Example: I am a strong, intelligent, persistent woman, and I love life. Don't copy the examples; create your own unique affirmation
