Hello

Hello dear LAPlanders🦋

Just introduce yourself with a visual (a photo, a gif. or a video).

GROUND RULES for our Padlet Reflections:

1. Name yourself with our class (YOUR NAME+CLASS) like Gamze GY(B15). Don't forget that I need to be able to follow who you are to mark you correctly! Help me, please!

2. Be an active participant in this padlet and do NOT limit your reflections & comments to one or two! Yes, only one reflection + a comment is enough to grab the 5 Points, but points don't mean everything, but connect means a lot!!!

3. ENJOY the ride to the fullest and be genuine as this is OUR playground!

Using Failures as Opportunities

2025-03-14 12:21:48 UTC

Failures are not an end, but a chance to grow. Every failure teaches valuable lessons, strengthens resilience and pushes me to improve. I see failures as stepping stones to success. Failures can happen at any moment of life, the important thing is to face them and not be afraid of them.

To be a good speaker

nursena_b1 — 2025-03-14 20:20:09 UTC

Speaking about a topic I know always makes me feel more confident. That’s why I usually talk more about subjects I know or find interesting. To improve my confidence, I first research different topics. Then, I listen to good speakers and repeat their speaking styles to improve myself. Before starting to speak, I take a deep breath and calm myself. This helps me feel relaxed and confident when I speak.That's my secret recipe😊

To build resilience and embrace challenges

yusufbayraktar0616 — 2025-03-14 21:58:38 UTC

To build resilience and embrace challenges, use apps like Stoic for mindset training, Headspace for meditation. Freeletics boosts physical endurance, while Chess sharpen the mind. Stay focused with Forest and plan better with Notion. Overcoming challenges strengthens discipline and mental toughness!

Growing with a Positive Mindset

vedat9616 — 2025-03-15 10:47:50 UTC

I can encourage a growth mindset by thinking positive and working hard. If I make mistakes, I can learn from them. I can also help my friends by saying, “You can do it!” and “Keep trying!” We can learn together and never give up. When I see progress, I feel happy and want to learn more.

Effective Speaking is an Awareness

pnrozkann61 — 2025-03-16 12:52:18 UTC

Before I speak, I think more about what I am going to say because providing accurate information and speaking clearly are important to me. I enjoy talking about topics I am knowledgeable about, and I carefully choose my words to make my speech effective. Additionally, listening is one of the key elements of speaking for me. I listen to people’s opinions and try to understand them, which also helps shape my own thoughts. Moreover, I am not afraid to learn what I do not know, and I always strive to improve myself in the best possible ways. This way, I create my own self-awareness.

Speaking Recipe

2025-03-16 13:37:53 UTC

My secret recipe for dazzling speaking is simple: I speak with honesty and clear words that make me smile. I improve my self-awareness by listening to feedback and reflecting on my learning. I contribute to a supportive and inclusive atmosphere by respecting everyone and sharing ideas kindly. This way, we all grow together in a friendly and positive space.

good atmosphere and dialogue

yusufbayraktar0616 — 2025-03-16 15:50:29 UTC

I can help create a supportive and inclusive atmosphere by being kind and respectful to everyone. I listen to others, accept different opinions, and encourage people to share their ideas. I avoid judging or excluding anyone. I offer help when needed and make sure everyone feels welcome. A friendly smile and positive words can make a big difference!

Turning My Speaking Dreams into Reality

2025-03-19 11:07:34 UTC

I transform my speaking dreams into a practical playbook by clearly defining my message, refining my delivery, practicing relentlessly, and seizing every opportunity—from intimate gatherings to grand stages. I nurture diverse ideas by actively listening, asking insightful questions, and embracing alternative viewpoints.

2025-03-19 11:09:37 UTC

English:
I believe that creating a supportive and inclusive atmosphere starts with empathy and respect. I try to listen actively and appreciate different perspectives, making sure everyone feels valued. Using inclusive language and acknowledging others’ contributions can make a big difference.

I also believe that challenging biases and promoting kindness help build a positive environment. When people feel safe and respected, they are more likely to express themselves freely and contribute meaningfully.
