My name is Bessy Casco, I'm a 22 years old student of foreing languages at UNAH.
There are some virtues that I already try to improve every day, but the ones I have problems the most with, are: ORDER and FRUGALITY.

As you can see by my title, the first two virtues I'm going to talk about are temperance and order.
Temperance is something I have tried during a while to put it into practice, and has worked for me, now I eat and drink in a very conscious way and today was not the exception, in fact was a good day to keep doing it.
In the other hand, I have a diary struggle with Order, but not with material things in this aspect I am very neat and everything has to have a place, my real problem is with my bad manage of time, I waste my time on my phone, then is late and I have to do everything fast. This frustrates me, but anyway I keep doing it, so, from all the Benjamin's virtues that's one I'm still working on it.

Through my life I have learned many things among those, Silence is one of it. It has been perhaps a difficult one for me because, I use to speak a lot and at any moment I could say somenthing unnecessary and silly, so since some days and of course today, I have tried to say just necessary thing and participate in conversations which can help me to improve myself or can help me to learn something new, so, I think I have improve this virtue successfully.
I did not understand very well what Resolution was but, according the lecture it is about to never compromise myself to something I know I will not accomplish, and well, this is not hard for me, my mom always told me about it, she used to say: "Never say yes if you know you won't be able to accomplish what you promise". Now I am really greatful, because that have helped me to be honest with others and myself.

Frugality and Industry
As I said in my intro, Frugality is one of the virtues I deal with. I am the kind of person who having money, I waste it in any thing, or waste it with my friends, in fact, I waste more than save it, I do not like to do it, but I feel like if everything I see could work for me, even if it could not. So, I have decided to put into practice this virtue not just to help me but advice others too, because as me, some others do the same💔.
Industry is about to being employed or do something useful and not "waste time". I do not have a job, and despite of it, I am a person who is always doing somenthing, just if I am tired I take a nap and then look for something to do, at home or outside, but I try to be busy. So Industry for me is an activity I work on it since a while🤗.

Sincerity could be a virtue or not, we think that is just about tell the truth and that's it, but not. It is also about, look for the right words to say something to someone, not hurt others, because words are the most hurtful tools a person can use against another. I was a person who thought "I was good" just because I am honest, but when I realized how much danger I could do, I stopped, and made a reflection, because I had two options: or I keep being "honest" without thinking about the impact of my words, or I was honest but first, measuring my words, and not judging others, so, obviously I chose the second option.

Eleanor Roosevelt said: "Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both".

I read this quote, when I was in 8th grade, at that time I did not understand very well that, then, a teacher explained and said that we could not talk about justice just when we wanted to be defended, but, is about to fight for injustice in life, in ours or others. Since then I started doing good for others, is funny because until now I realized it is a Ben Franklin's virtue and is good for me to say that I still practice and improve justice everyday.❤

Moderation is about avoiding extremes and not choosing extreme positions. Well, is great for me to say, that I do not have problems with it, I do not like just to see one side of the page but both, and if I do not like none of the sides, well, I can threw it away. I like this virtue because nowadays people do not put it into practice, they are extreme people who blindly defend their position, and it is not bad at all, but if you know you are wrong, you cannot keep defending that, and this virtue in particular could make conscience in people's mind.
Cleanliness is a virtue that everybody should practice, not just for them but everyone else around them. I personally, do not have problems with it, my mom thought me about since I was a child, and it is an activity that I still practice, and in fact I like it😌

Despite I am not a person with a lot of patience, I am not used to succumb before silly comments of people, who in fact, I do not really care. Is up to us, allow dumb people, to take away our tranquility, and serenity. And as an advice, before you want to get angry before any situation just think: "Does this person, or situation, matter?".💆

Talk about Chastity, is not just talk about you will be virgin your whole life, or until could get married. Is also about, not let physical desires destroy ourselves, or others. Sometimes, these desires, could apart us from our goals in life, so, if any day we are in any situation that we know could destroy our morality, we just have to step away from it.👣

Humilty could be, one of the most beautiful virtues as hard, being humble is not that easy, I know that. When I was a teenager, I was not so humble, in fact, when people did not recognize my effort I felt terrible uncomfortable, I always wanted to be recognized, and worst of all, I said others all the "recognition I deserved". One of my teachers realized of it, and she told me: "You do not have to live to say your worth, but others see that worth and talk about", and yes, that marked me. Since then I worked hard to change myself and be a better person, trying to be humble all the time, and be a leader and not a boss, because yes, I had like a empress behavior😒 it was hard at the beginning, but now I can say, I have really improved my way to be.

Okay, this project was about the Benjamin Franklin's 13 virtues. Before of it, I did have any idea of these virtues, this whole week I have practiced all of them, or well I have practiced the most I have struggled with. As I said in my intro, Order and Frugality are my headaches, so, I took this very serious, and decided to practiced naturally. There are 11 virtues which I practice since a while, and had really helped me to improve myself, and the 2 remaining were the ones I worked the most in. I think I improved in frugality, I tried not to waste money and save it, and I did it🎉🎉. But, in the other hand, order (of time) is still something I cannot improve, I tried not to use my phone a lot, just when I need it, but, there were days where I used it the most. So, I could say I have 12 virtues over 13. Although, I already finish this project I am expecting to keep working on those virtues, until I can ingrained them in my character. Finally, I wish these virtues could be taught the most, since school to university, it could be that they are not important, but they are, being practiced everyday could help to be a better and succesful person.
