We’ve got FIVE incredible co-hosts My First 5K and More, Running With Attitude, Run Laugh Eat Pie, Runs with Pugs, and me for another Fit Five Friday link-up! This week’s topic is “5 words to describe yourself”. Feel free to write about this or any fitness topic you’d like.
This is a fun topic. I’ve written two posts about this topic: Here and here. The words I’ve chosen before are: Introverted, proactive, independent, hardworking, beautiful, bilingual, emotional, dependable, responsible, and strong.
This is what I came up with this year:
Passionate
Despite how much I complain about my job, I am still passionate about it. I care deeply about my students. I want the best for them. I always look for resources for my students to help them with reading, writing, math, etc.
Intelligent
No further explanation is needed. 😊
Positive
I may not always have a positive outlook about life, but I see the best in people. I know there is good in everyone. Well, almost everyone.
Punctual
I hate being late. I am rarely late for work. If you tell me to meet you at 1 pm, then that is the time I will meet up with you. The whole “Mexican time” drives me crazy – 4 pm does not mean 5 or 6 pm.
Grateful
I have my good and bad days. No matter what happens, I am always grateful for my job, my family, and my health. I always feel very lucky for having those things in life. Whenever I have a day when I am feeling down, I think about the things I do have and sometimes it makes me feel better.
The topic for next week: Favorite recipe with 5 ingredients. We hope you’ll link up with us!
All great qualities. I do hate lateness too. But it is so common.
I think I need to be more positive. I do try.
Being positive is not easy but it can be done.
Those definitely fit what I know about you! For me… enthusiastic, energetic, dedicated, loyal and maybe cynical/sarcastic b/c I’m that, too!
Thanks so much Erica!
I can definitely tell you’re passionate about your job! And I love how one of your previous words was “beautiful.” Why do we shy away from using that word about ourselves??? And, “grateful” is a great word to choose.
I know what you mean. We will never pick “beautiful” for ourselves but will do it for someone else.
Those are great words, Zenaida. There are words we all could draw inspiration from 😉
Thank you!
I know how challenging your job can be but it’s great that you still feel passionate about it! Your students are lucky to have a teacher who cares so much about them.
Thank you! I am trying to stay focus and keep showing up for work. These past few weeks have been very challenging. My coworker told me that I need to take a few days off just for me so I can relax.
I love all these words! Punctual is a good one. I love how your love for teaching comes through in almost everything you do, even when it’s hard. <3
It’s been a rough year but I am hanging in there!
I’m trying to cultivate more gratitude. My dog has lymphoma, and I want to be grateful for every day we have together, instead of stressed and worried. I don’t know how well I will be able to manage it, but I’m working on it.
My dad kept a card in his pocket regarding gratitude, to help him when he needed it. It is a quote by Henri Nouwen:
“The discipline of gratitude is the explicit effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift of love, a gift to be celebrated with joy.”
Oh no! I am so sorry to hear about your dog! Hugs to you. That is a great quote and very true!
