CMMA Values Rubric

Advocate/Activist: I’m more like emerging. I ask my friends if they have any problems. I want to let them know that I’m there for them. I love to help my friends when they are in need. If they don't want me to help them thats fine with me because its not my business. I just want my friends to know that they are not alone, they got me.

Compassion/Community: I have to say, I'm like a role model. I identify myself as part of CMMA and I encourage others to join the community. I tell my friends to join CMMA because CMMA is a awesome academy and they really help me to be successful. I look at CMMA like a family in school , even though we are not blood related I still considered this academy as family.

Conflict Mediator: This is my weakness, I'm consider as a novice. I really hate problems, I deal with them everyday. I solve some of them but not the rest of the problems. I identify problems but I always look for solutions. Its a part of reality and I know everyone has problems its part of being human.

Goal Oriented: I'm like a proficient. I set my goals and I'll do what it means necessary to achieve them. I always remind myself what are my goals, so I don't forget about my goals. Because usually I'm forgetful kind of person. I'm a kind of person that looks at the future and dreams a lot. I want to show people that I'm not a failure and be a role model to them. That they can also achieve too. I'm a hard worker and I always get my work done.

Identity: I'm a role model in identity. I know who I am and I respect everyone. I want to learn about other cultures because its really interesting to me. I don't care what race they are, I treat everyone equal. I respect people and I want to get respect back.

Resiliency: I'm recover like a proficient kind of a person. When things are going down I began to worry. I always try and look for something to recover. I ask myself,"If you fall, will you get up?" I hear this saying in my head over and over again when I'm down. Even though I fall I want to get back up and continue again.
