MADD Diary

Personalities

Today on 29th of April 2015 we went back to see Petia and started our MADD programme again.At our MADD Programme we started off with talking about what happened the last time we were with him.At our last session we were basically talking about skills and talents.We also talked about the difference between skills and talents.

After we were finished talking about our last session,Petia talked about different personalities and how sometimes you might not like someone until you know their personality.Then he drew shapes on a soft chalk board he had.The shapes he drew were a square,rectangle,triangle,circle and a squiggly shape that looked kind of like bacon.

Petia then told us to choose one shape and one shape only.He gave us a bit of time to choose but it didn't take very long.Everyone had finished picking the shape they liked very soon.It was now time for the squares to go to the squares,the circles to go to the circles,the triangles to go to the triangles and all the shapes to go to their area.

The shape I ended up at was the rectangles.There was only three of us Kyana -Lee,Joseph and I in rectangles.The other groups had a bunch of people. Petia then told us to read a paper he gave to each group leader.The paper talked about the shape they had and what kind of personality it expresses.All groups had to read and discuss about their shape they had,because after all that discussion it was time for everyone to present.

It was now time for us to present.The triangles went up first.The triangles talked about their shape.Their shape is a very confident kind of shape and is a shape that acts like leader.Next the circles.The circles talked about how their shape is a kind and caring shape.The squares then stepped forward and said that their shape was a hard working and very serious shape.The squiggly shape was now on and they were a shape that got distracted often but was very creative at the same time.Last was us the rectangles.The rectangles basically talked about how our shape experience new stuff.When our group was presenting I got really shy and said nothing so I felt very embarrassed at the end but I was ok later on.

Presenting was over and Petia talked to us about the Ninja Turtles and how they each have a different personality but they all work together as a team and are great heros. Leonardo is a triangle - the leader,Raphael is a square - hard working and serious,Donatello is a circle -kind and caring,Michelangelo is a squiggly shape - distracted but creative and Master Splinter is a rectangle - someone who experiences new stuff.  

Next Petia drew a superhero while we watched and listened to music.The super hero he drew was Batman.He drew Batman because he was someone the combined all the personalities and became all shapes.Batman is a leader,caring,hard working,creative and someone who experience new stuff.

Not to long later after Petia finished drawing we said bye and went back to class.

I felt that today's session was cool since we learnt about what a shape can express and more about our personalities.
