Savanna's Signature Strengths

Capacity to love and be loved

• I feel as though I greatly express love to those around me and I accept it with open arms.
• This describes me because I am always happy when I feel love around me.

I got to spend the day with Harrison on Friday, he makes me feel loved. It was a great day to be with someone i love at the place I love. Harrison was also happy to spend the day with me and we were lovey all day long making us both very happy.

On Sunday I went bowling with my brother and my friend Karina who I have not seen in a long time. Seeing Karina made my brother really happy because he has been having a rough year. I am really glad I got to be there with them, we had a really nice time.

Hope, Optimism, and Future-mindedness

• I believe I have a positive stance on the future, I know what I want to do and what I want to be and I am ready to take on the world.
• I always expect the best of myself and push myself to suceed in everything I do.

On Thursday, I was so excited to go to Disneyland the next day and I was very hopeful that I would get a turkey leg. I achieved this goal and I was very satisfied. Harrison was very impressed that I ate the whole leg in eleven minutes.

Saturday was the Shakespeare festival and I was very nervous all day hoping and praying that it would be a success. I knew my group was great and everything would work out but I was nervous which made them nervous, though it went well and in the end we were all proud of ourselves.

Harrison and I took graduation photos on Monday. This is an example of future-mindedness because we are excited to graduate and know what we want to do. This made me really excited to graduate and glad that I have him by my side.

Creativity, Ingenuity, and Originality

• I like to be creative and not do things the textbook way. I enjoy brnching out and finding new ways to do things.
• I also have common sense and like to do the right thing, though my creativity might stray away from the set path.

While preparing for the Shakespeare festival I had to get creative by making potions and setting up the booth. Everyone loved it and thought we were very creative and original. It made me feel unique.

In the future I know I will use these strengths. When I become a teacher I will be able to give love to my students to make them feel appreciated, I will be hopeful and optimistic that they are trying their very hardest, and I will also decorate and set up my classroom and projects creatively so they will enjoy them.

I believe this survey explained me very well. I love to love, I am almost always optimistic, and creativity is the definition of me. I am so glad I was able to see the definition of me and I know that this will greatly enhance my life because I will try harder everyday to show these strengths in my daily life.
