It is so good to have you in my class. We are going to learn a lot this semester so please be ready to work hard and do your best at all times.

- Daily posts about what we did that day in class (and reminders of your homework!)
- PowerPoints used in class
- Test Review Help
- And lots of other fun/important things!
I hope (and kindly insist) that you come back and visit this blog often!

Mrs. McKell's Example:
ReplyDeleteI think that being a hard worker is the most important trait or characteristic someone could possess. The happiest and most successful people I know are happy and successful because they work incredibly hard at everything they do.
-Mrs. McKell, 5th Period

I think that the most important trait is selflessness. All actions can be divided up into three categories: neutral actions (such as breathing or walking), selfish actions and selfless actions. If everyone could honestly say that most of their non-neutral actions were in the selfless category, then the world would be an infinitely better place.

In my opinion the most important trait someone could have is responsibility. Responsibility combines honesty and hard work in one trait which is two important things.

ReplyDeleteI believe that the most important trait someone could posses is an outgoing-idiosyncratic form of kindness. Why? Because it is the opposite of rudeness and the evil disease of being cynical.

I think that some of the best traits are generosity and gratefulness. They are some very good traits, however there are still many great traits that people can have.
ReplyDeleteMicaela Morales Period:8
I believe that the most desirable trait another person can possess is RESPECT! Respect makes life easier and more enjoyable. You must give respect to earn it. For example, looking into a mirror, you get what you see and do. If you look grouchy, people will reflect that. Also, if you do good, people will return that goodness in more ways then one.

I think the best trait to have is individuality. Because there is no one else in the world like you so you might as well be yourself and do what you want.
ReplyDeleteHannah Stoddard 4th period
To me the most desirable character trait a person can have is honesty. People who are always honest show other people that they are trustworthy and have integrity. They show that they are reliable. If you are honest others will look to you as an example.
ReplyDeleteMadi Hill, 4th period
I think that it is looks. You make an impression the way you look if you like it or not. Your looks make you different and let you stand out. We like to say its the inside that counts which is totally true but when you dont know someone you'll judge them on their outward apperance its a true fact.
ReplyDeleteAudrey Nelson 8th
I think the most desirable trait a person can have is responsibility. Because other people can rely on you, and appreciate you more.
ReplyDeleteClarissa Weser, 5th period
The trait that would be the most desirable to me is dependability. If you can depend on someone to do something then your respect for that person goes up a lot.
ReplyDeleteMikey Freeman, 5th period
In my opinion humor is the most important trait because it can help to make friends, and it makes other people feel comfortable around you. It is also a good way to communicate. For example if a teacher has a good sense of humor they can communicate well with the class because they are paying attention. So in all being humorous is one of the best traits a human can posses. :)

I think the most desirable trait a person can have is personality. sure, a person can have good looks, but if they're jerks, it's not worth it.

ReplyDeletePersonally I think the most desirable trait a person can posses is an understanding heart. The most appropriate example of this is that an understanding person is much easier to get along with and is also more likely to help someone else than a person who is not understanding. An understanding person is also kind, trustworthy and dependable.
ReplyDeleteColleen Muhile, Period 8

In my opinion honesty is the most important trait a person can have because our world relies completely on communication. And without honesty, civil communication is ruined.
The most desirable trait a person can have is being outgoing. An outgoing person isn't afraid to try new things, they get involved and open up more opportunities for themselves.

I think that honesty is the best trait because without honesty no one can trust you no one would be able to listen to you because they know you are dishonest. But if you are honest people will trust you and believe you which is good for other people to do.

Honestly, in my mind there is no, ONE preferable trait over all else, it just doesn't work that way. There is no trait that is more important than the rest, i do not desire one trait over the rest, i want a good combination. However since this is going on my grade i guess i am forced to choose just one. If i must choose one, i would probably say loyalty. The reasons being for this are as follows; Without loyalty, she's going to leave for any boy she thinks looks nice. Another, without loyalty, is it really love? Is there really anything there without it? can i really trust what she says without loyalty? To me loyalty means i know she will stay with me or have the respect to decently leave. Loyalty is a foundational trait which means it roots into other traits. Now, in the words of me, let the arguments, contradictions, and hate mail come flowing in.

I believe the most desirable trait in which a person can posses is to believe. Its a very simple trait to say that someone may have but very difficult to do at times. For me its simple to describe. The definition of the word believe to me is, if you can believe you and your actions can act purposely.

ReplyDeleteThe most desirable trait a person can have is integrity. If you look integrity up in the dictionary the definition reads, "adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty." I don't think that there is anything more that I want in a person than a person with a sound moral character, who is honest.
