The Value of Humility

As April goes by, we´ll learn about the new value of the month: humility.

Humility is about knowing your great worth as a person, but accepting that others have the same value as you do. It is about considering yourself with satisfaction,not too low, yet not too high. It´s about accepting your mistakes with simplicity, and correcting them. More than this, humility is not bragging about what we are or have, and accepting that others can be better than us in any aspect like foot ball, science, cooking, etc.

This week, students will work in groups to represent their ideas on humility. They´ll write an essay and do posters.

Here´s a video we´ll watch in class. It´s about the last inning of a girls´ softball game where two players humbly admit the greatness of a home run hit by a player of the oponent team; they even "help her make the home run". The video is inspired on a true story.
