Answer 1

SOLE Self-Reflection (short)

Step Out — I feel safe at home and with close friends. I step out when I try new clubs or talk to people I don’t know.

Own — I do homework after school, sleep about 7 hours, and try to eat breakfast. I take breaks and text a friend when I’m stressed.

Lead — I help teammates stay on task, share ideas, and calm arguments. I speak up in class and organize group work.

Elevate — I tutor classmates, give positive feedback, and include quieter people so they join in.

Two examples when I stepped out or led:
- I started a study group for biology and made a schedule so everyone stayed on track.
- I helped a new student find their classes and introduced them to people at lunch.

What SOLE means:
- Step Out: leave your comfort zone and try things that feel new.
- Own: take responsibility for your habits and self-care.
- Lead: take action to guide or help others.
- Elevate: lift others up so they can do better.
