1.     What is this virtue you are picking to focus on? (Explain it.)  

2.     Why are you picking this particular virtue to focus on?  

3.     What is your plan for growing in this virtue?

1.      One virtue that I want to focus on is patience. Patience is the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset. I am deciding to focus on this virtue because I am impatient at times. Patience is an important virtue in life because you need patience in order to do things for a long period of time and not get upset or angry about it. Patience is also necessary for experiencing more things in life because you have more times to do things since you are patient. Patience allows you to tolerate more things in life since you don’t mind waiting for the right time to do things. I need patience in order to not get angry over delay.

2.      Another virtue that I want to focus on is commitment. Commitment is the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity, etc. I am deciding to focus on this virtue because I don’t always commit to things once I have started them. Commitment is a necessary virtue in life because you must be committed to things which you have started and not leave them undone. You also need commitment for things like school if you are half committed to things you will never get them done and you may not get into the right job that you want. If you are not fully committed to something then it is better off you don’t start it. My plan for growing this virtue is that fully committing to something important like school could get me on the right path in life that I like.

3.      Lastly the virtue that I would chose is determination. Determination is a quality that makes you continue trying to do or achieve something that is difficult. I am choosing this virtue because I believe that if something is hard you can’t just quit you have to at least try to achieve the goal. Determination is a necessary virtue because you cannot just quit on something if you think it is hard you must try to achieve it before you say it is hard. You also need determination in order to succeed in life, if you have a goal you must be determined to finish that goal. My plan for growing this virtue is in life, if I have a goal in life I will be determined to finish that goal.
