Target Audience: High School Students

Self-Esteem

  • Def.: Understanding, valuing, and actively engaging views and aspects of individuality adds perspective to a group activity (Komives, 108).
  • It is important to know yourself as well as other people's frames of thought (Komives, 98).
  • How others may approach issues from different perspectives/frames

The sooner you accept that others are different,the sooner you will understand their thoughts !

CAST

STUDENT: Alina Tolksdorf

AMERICAN STUDENTS:

NARRATOR: Justin Avery

Self-acceptance

What is self esteem?

Despite having grown up in Germany, Alina understood the importance of having the self esteem to approach a group of unfamiliar students in the United States.

She differentiated between what she could change and what she could not change. She stepped out of her comfort zone in order to include herself in American society, and it was up to the students to reward her self confidence with inclusivity.

By doing so, she improved her own self esteem as well as her own self awareness. As a result, she now has a greater understanding of her own self-concept.

  • "Self awareness would eventually lead to an accurate self-concept" (Komives, 157).
  • "Self-concept is how we objectively describe ourselves" (Komives, 157).
  • "Self esteem is the subjective element of how you feel about yourself" (Komives, 157).
  • Your self awareness, self-concept, and self esteem are all equally important in figuring out who we are as individuals and how we can handle ourselves in uncomfortable situations.

Inclusivity

Understanding yourself

Inclusivity

CAMERA & VIDEO EDITING: Cinthya Velasco

  • It is better to focus on what you are good at, and to improve upon your own self concept by continuing to develop yourself in that way.
  • In order to understand yourself, it is better to manage your weaknesses, instead of trying to fix them.
  • You must be sure to leave room for improvement, but you must be able to rely upon your own strengths.
  • If somebody doesn't have self-esteem, would other people notice and help out, be inclusive, and help this person be outgoing?
  • In this video we demonstrate how to be inclusive in a situation you might encounter in high school .

Questions.....comments?

Alina relied upon her own ability to include herself in a situation that was originally outside of her comfort zone. She worked to improve her self esteem in an unfamiliar culture, and by doing so, improved her own self awareness.

Self confidence

The ability to rely on your strengths, skills and competencies in situations in which you find yourself in.

Concepts

Results of being inclusive:

Self-Esteem

Inclusivity

Avoiding new environments

By being inclusive, high school students will be able to become effective leaders since their efforts will demonstrate that they are not only self-aware, but that they value and address issues of diversity.

High school students tend to stick what they are comfortable with. If they were not comfortable with approaching a new group of students, they would find themselves sitting alone. Alina demonstrates this idea.

Knowing, Understanding, & Engaging Yourself

However, if a high school student has the courage to approach a new group of students, they may find themselves to be included and considered as a friend rather than a stranger.

BEING Inclusive

Being inclusive also means being:

-Open to differences

-Valuing equality

-Believing everyone can make a difference

(Komives, 98)

About Our Product

In composing our videos, we found that a Movie trailer could catch the attention of high school students. Since high school students are easily influenced by their peers, our objective is to provide students with a different perspective about how their self-concept could help them feel included. An accurate self-concept can be seen as leading to inclusivity which, in turn, allows the student to be an effective leader because they are aware of their strengths and weaknesses.

Developing our Strengths for the Common Good

Coming to a campus near you: What will Alina learn about herself?

Reasons For Targetting High School Students

Help others grow by understanding them!

  • High School students are easily influenced through peer pressure
  • at this age they usually do not have a high self-esteem
  • hard for them to be inclusive because of no self-esteem and confidence
  • Tend to stick to what they know and do not get out of their comfort zone

Hard for them to be accepting when they can't accept themselves
