Motivation
La voglia di essere felice. Non si può essere felice andando sempre male a scuola, prima per (forse) la presa di mira dei professori, poi per i rimproveri a casa …
Mi sento motivata … quando si mette in pratica ciò che siè studiato solo teoricamente, e facendo esercizi in classe, guidati dall’insegnante, in modo da poter poi accorgersi se quell’esercizio saremmo stati in grado di svolgerlo altrettanto bene da soli.
