This semester has been a bit stressful as the assignments have been a lot. the tests have also been difficult and very long. I have gotten good grades in the non-English subjects, which has been very good, since it helps me to keep on studying and making an effort. In English, I have done well but not as well as the previous ones, the tasks that they send me are very long and difficult, besides that one gets tired of so many online classes and so many jobs. For this reason, I have been attending two days of face-to-face classes, these have been good because I have gotten to know my classmates better and I have been able to pay more attention to the classes. In the face-to-face phonetics classes I have understood everything and I have done well because they are less boring than online.

My goals for next year are to continue to improve, to be able to have more classes in person, but not every week because I have to travel 2 hours 30 every day. My challenges are English, I still don’t know how to build more complex sentences and speak fluently because I forget some words.

It is all too easy to buy into the belief that your body is just not good enough. It’s too easy to feel inadequate, like you need to constantly change who you are and what you look like just to fit into an ideal of beauty, stop breathing huh. Today on well-cast we’re going to be talking about body image sometimes we get so focused on the parts of our bodies that we wish we could change that we forget to recognize how amazing we are here we offer five suggestions to help you quiet the unhealthy negative thoughts about your shape and size and boost your self-esteem step 1 look inward and be your own inspiration the average American model is 511 and weighs a hundred and seventeen pounds meaning she’s seven inches taller and weighs 23 pounds less than the average woman what you see on the runway is like a crazy funhouse image rather than real life so don’t chase airbrushed backbreaking ideals and instead ask yourself what makes you memorable don’t punish yourself for your so-called flaws and recognize the attributes that make you an individual strength can be found in differences what a boring world it would be if we all looked exactly the same aim to be the best you you can be step 2 think about this you don’t want to sacrifice your future health for your current figure especially if you’re in middle school or high school how you treat your body now will greatly affect how you develop for the rest of your life did you know you can actually be ruining your body prematurely with excessive dieting strenuous weight lifting or taking steroids and supplements to build muscle cut it out your body is still growing and the shape you have now is definitely not permanent think of your teen years is the long transition period so chill out let your body take the shape it was meant to you’ll be far more beautiful and healthy in the long run 3 don’t keep moving goalposts spec it’s easy to try to aspire to people like Beyonce or Kim Kardashian work really hard at a sculpted chest like Cristiano Ronaldo but if you aim to shape your body just like someone else’s you’re fighting a losing battle genetics are largely responsible for determining a person shape and size you cannot fight nature step back from these athletes models actors you admire from a distance and look at all the cool men and women around you and your immediate life who managed to balance family career and exercise everyone gets an boost from a compliment so remind these individuals just how beautiful they are inside and out and that they inspire you hey you never know who else around you is feeling blue your cuticles are immaculate step 4 talk it out with someone who specializes in health hey if you have real concerns about your size go ahead and speak to your doctor your coach your fitness instructor or physical education teacher they’re gonna help you set small goals for yourself they can instruct you on the safest way to bulk up or slim down based on your body type they have dedicated their lives to studying health and wellness and they’ll be your best and most personalized resource for helping you determine the safest and most effective path for getting the results that you desire step 5 step away from the mirror and help somebody else assessing your appearance for hours each day can turn you into a self-obsessed monster instead get out of your head and go do something for others get involved in an after-school tutoring program or gather a group of friends to help out at a local shelter volunteering will help you gain experience and it will lift your mood plus you’ll probably make new friends while helping others everybody wins to recap well casters you are perfect as you are rather than obsess about sculpting a built body shift your focus on to what’s fabulous about your shape and size if you have real concerns ask a professional for health and fitness advice based on your specific situation and lastly be active in your community and make sure your eating and exercise habits are smart and safe long-term choices well that’s all for me today, well casters would you do me a kindness.
