Who-Am-I? And Self-awareness

"I have two favourite hobbies. These are: modern dance and rowing. When i was younger i joined a ballet school. I stayed in this school for 6 years, and round about when i was 10 i joined a modern dance school, called Sylos Academy. I enjoy going out at night and just having a good time! I love being with my friends and ocasionally going out for lunch with my family. " Anna from Gibraltar

Understanding own needs & desires; increasing self-esteem, and self-responsibility.

Self-awareness is about how a child feels about itself compared with others. This usually depends on feedback, a sign of approval by someone else. Self-awareness is also about describing oneself to oneself, about self-assessment. In the first module of Who-Am-I?, the process of creating and publishing self-descriptions is in focus, as is their use as a tool for meeting others.

Katie from Australia What I want to be when I grow up! Good question! I would love to do something crazy and fun for ever and ever! Like, working as a clown for sick kids or something, that would be really cool. Except, I think I would be sad all the time from seeing all the sick kids. Ultimately, I'd love to play softball in the olympics - maybe that will happen. Education? I guess I want to finish secondary school. I don't know about university or anything like that. I guess, I just want to be me - but taller, a little smarter (way more mature!!!) but still having fun with my friends. It would be the worst thing ever if I grew up to be obsessed with career and money. I like the sun and being outdoors nad having fun - and I want to do that forever! Really, I just want to be happy!
