Learning activity 1

Evidence: Modeling excellence

Fuente: SENA

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” Aristotle.

For this evidence, go online and find information about the daily routine of at least three
people you consider role models. You should compare their routines and find the things
they have in common. Then, you should write a three- paragraph composition about
their commonalities and the way your routine resembles or will resemble theirs. Make
sure you use the conjunctions (so, either, neither, too) you learned in this learning
activity.

The structure of the composition is as follows:

Paragraph 1: A short description about why you decided to choose those people and a
short description about who they are.

Paragraph 2: The similarities you found in their routines.

Paragraph 3: The way your routine reflects or will reflect their routines.

Look at the example below:

 Example:

For this composition, I decided to get information about three high-achievers that
inspire me to do my best in everything I do. They are goal-oriented people who are
always on the lookout for exciting ways to grow both professionally and personally.

 Nick Rivera Caminero (Nicky Jam) American singer of Puerto Rican and
Dominican origin of reggaeton
 James David Rodríguez Rubio Colombian professional soccer player,
who plays as a midfielder and his current team is Al Rayyan S. C. of the
Qatar Stars League.
 Dwyane Wade a former professional basketball player who spent most
of his career playing for the Miami Heat in the NBA.
Even though they belong to different generations, I was able to find several commonalities
in their routines:

The three of them think that the most important thing in the morning is to wake up
motivated that they will achieve a goal on that day, thus creating a positive mind.

James and Dwyane read at night the projects you have to do for each weekend in their
respective sports Nicky too, but each one records them to have more clarity once he listens
to them again.

Dwyane doesn't see social media, he says it is destructive to the mind. Nicky does watch
social media because he thinks he should be closer to his fans. Neither James see much of
the networks only when he publishes with his relatives creating a healthy environment. The
three of them try to have their family life as private as possible.

Nicky Jam doesn't drink alcohol, he says he prefers a coke. Dwyane never drinks coke and
neither does alcohol like James. James Rodriguez plays Basketball in his spare time and
Nicky jams too. Dwyane didn't play him again because his knees broke.

Finally, both support foundations in order to promote a better quality of life in neighboring
places with scarce resources. Dwyaner created a foundation for poor black children in cities
like New York and Houston. Nicky too, but supporting a foundation of undocumented
Latinos who are in the US starving. For his part, James also supports a foundation in
Medellin for children who live in dangerous communities trying to get out of that life of
drugs and gangs.
In my case, I will start to give up sugary drinks and alcohol. I also think that by helping
many more people I can leave a mark in this life and also in the life of each person so I will
begin to be more disciplined and organized to be a leader.
