EPIC values

At school we have 4 values called our EPIC values. EPIC is an acronym for empathy, perseverance, integrity and creativity. We use these values a lot at school, especially empathy for when someone gets hurt during morning tea and lunch. I think that the easiest value for me is creativity and the most difficult is perseverance because sometimes it can be hard to carry on and not to just quit when times get tough. There is a certificate for people seen showing our EPIC values around the school.

 I think I have shown perseverance will working with my science fair as my first project idea didn't work and I was forced to create a new one. I was really bummed about my first idea not going to plan especially since it took me ages to think of it and I had it all prepared but I persevered and I thought of a new idea and I am now back on track. Sometimes empathy can be a bit hard for me especially with little kids. When a little kid gets hurt and I come over to help them it can become a bit awkward as they are very unpredictable and I never manage to think of the right thing to say. Integrity is quite easy for me because I am usually quite honest and I use creativity often when I draw things.
