Autobiografía Mi nombre es Mónica Concepción Reyes Castillo, nací en la bella ciudad de Guatemala un treinta de Junio de 1972, en la maternidad del IGSS de la zona 9 a las 23: 50 pm.Soy la mayor de tres hermanos, soy hija de David Eugenio Reyes y de María Antonieta Alejandra Castillo. Mis hermanos son David Alejandro Reyes Castillo ingeniero civil y Sergio Benjamín Reyes Castillo ingeniero ambiental con dos maestrías en el extranjero, quien actualmente vive en Paris Francia.

Mis primeros años de estudio los realice en el colegio católico Monte Carmelo, ubicado en la zona 7 capitalina, iniciando mi pre-primaria y primaria como una alumna aplicada y dedicada. Los estudios básicos los ralize en el Liceo La Juventud, y los estudios superiores en el colegio Santa Infancia donde obtuve el titulo de Magisterio pre-primaria en 1991. Mis estudios universitarios los inicien en la Universidad del Valle de Guatemala en la carrera de tecnico en problemas del aprendizaje (tercer año) paralelo a la carrera estudie Inglés en el CIAV. En el 2010 inicie cursos de Frances en CALUSAC (nivel seis aprobado), y actualmente estudio la profesionalización en

Inglés en la Universidad Mariano Galvez (ultimo año).

Los primeros años de mi infancia transcurrieron en un ambiente normal y familiar, el cual se vio afectado un 3 de junio de 1977 con la muerte de mi señor padre; fue un golpe duro para la familia, pero que nos hizo más fuertes y que forzo a mi mamá a salir en busca de trabajo y luchar por sus hijos. Esto nos hizo ser autosuficientes e independientes al tener que hacernos cargo de muchas obligaciones en el hogar desde muy jovenes. Pero a pesar de quedar sin un padre tuvimos grandes padrinos que nos brindaron cariño, apoyo y alegrias hasta el día de hoy, y que continuan brindandome su ayuda incondicional en todo aspecto de mi vida.

Cada momento vivido en el ámbito laboral, académico y personal han marcado de una forma positiva mi vida y han formado parte di mi personalidad como persona, docente y estudiante; luchando siempre por ser mejor y dar siempre el 100% en todo lo que me propongo. La actividad que más satisfaciones me ha dado es el magisterio. Durante estos 25 años como docente he aprendido de muchas personas, colegas, y de mis propios alumnos a los que he tenido la gran oportunidad de ver crecer y desempeñarse en el ambito profesional y

académico. Cada día como docente ha sido una maravillosa aventura, que me sigue encantando con forme pasan los años, y que me han marcado de una forma positiva al punto de seguir estudiando y preparandome para ser un buen ejemplo para futuras generaciones de educandos a los que tenga la oportunidad de guiar.

El redactar mi autobiografía me ha permitido reflexionar de lo vivido, aprendido y de lo que aún me falta por aprender y crecer como persona, y profesional. No podria decir que este proceso de autoaprendizaje haya terminado, porque el ser humano nunca termina de aprender; pero si puedo decir que algunos malos habitos los he podido dejar atrás y otros sigo trabajando en ellos y se que con mayor constancia los lograre cambiar en algo positivo.

Esta autobiografía fue un bello recordatorio de momentos y personas muy especiales en mi vida y que me acompañaran siempre hasta el final de la misma.

Misión y Visión Introduccíon En el presente trabajo hago una pequeña descripción de mi misión y visión como persona, docente, y profesional; a traves de un analisis de mis valores, metas y proyectos a corto, mediano y largo plazo, los cuales unidos dan una pincelada de mis objetivos y propositos a alcanzar en un futuro.

Visión Utilizar todos mis talentos y abilidades aprendidas como docente del idioma Inglés, en los distintos ámbitos en los que me desembuelvo; a traves del ejemplo como persona responsable, dedicada, y comprometida con su enseñanza. Comprometida en formar integralmente a mis educandos.

Misión Llegar a desempeñarme eficazmente en el uso del idioma Inglés a traves de una enseñanza efectiva, y dinámica de las distintas actividades lúdicas y asertivas que lleven al estudiante al dominio de una segunda lengua, logrando comunicarse efectivamente en su ambito social.

Formula: One technique that the author suggests is to write a goal on a card and keep it in your pocket over your heart.

Disappointment is a normal part of life that everyone experiences. However, we do not have to feel discouraged in the face of setbacks. Developing a positive attitude, and reacting proactively when we face a challenge, could help to avoid negative thoughts, and see disappointment as an opportunity to recharge and refocus instead of a reason to feel bad. With some hard work and self awareness, we can have a healthy, positive mentality.

First, we can take responsibility for our attitude. Next, It's important to identify triggers for discouragement, think about times in our life where we frequently feel discouraged, and try saying positive things about yourself instead. List your best qualities and things you're grateful for. This will make you a happier person.

Finally, feeling like you are in control of your environment and that you can change the outcome of your situation may help you to stay positive.

All of the habits that we have right now good or bad are in our life for a reason. In some way, these behaviors provide a benefit, even if they are bad in other ways.

Because bad habits provide some type of benefit in our life, it’s very difficult to simply eliminate them instead, we need to replace a bad habit with a new habit that provides a similar benefit.

Conclusion Recognizing the causes of our bad habits is crucial to overcoming them, for that reason, it’s better to replace our bad habits with a healthier behavior.” If you have faith as a mustard seed, nothing will be impossible for you” Matthew 17:20 Positive thinking brings the best values to those who are dedicated to do the best.

Proverbs Positive Secrets of Health and Energy This chapter explores the nature of the Universe, according to Byrne cites a roll call of experts who agree that the Universe is composed of energy. John Assaraf explains, “Everything is made up of the exact same thing, whether it's your hand, the ocean, or a star.” Byrne points out that this theory is backed by quantum physics. Since people are made up of energy, they also have a frequency, which is determined by their thoughts and emotions.

Byrne then talks about the spiritual side of The Secret. She argues that since we are made of energy and energy cannot be destroyed (it only changes form), it makes sense to believe our true essence “has always been and always will be. You can never not be.” Byrne also points out that every possible invention, idea or knowledge is already out in the Universe, waiting for somebody to draw from it.

Byrne expands on the spiritual connection by saying we are all “God in a physical body.” Each one of us has the power to create because we’re all cosmic beings.

To end the chapter, Byrne talks again about loving oneself and how difficult that is for many people. She says the key to loving yourself is looking at the presence inside you. “Those who focus on loving that presence will realize that everything else falls into place.”

Conclusion Being healthy is feeling the same way as little children feel. Little children are bursting with energy every day. Their bodies feel light and flexible; moving is effortless. They're light on their feet. Their minds are clear; they're happy, and free of worry and stress. They sleep deeply and peacefully every night, and they wake up feeling completely refreshed, as if with a brand-new body. They feel passionate and excited about every new day. Look at little children and you will see what being healthy really means. It is the way you used to feel, and it is the way you should still feel.

Happiness is when your life fulfills your needs.

In other words, happiness comes when you feel satisfied and fulfilled. Happiness is a feeling of contentment, that life is just as it should be. Perfect happiness, enlightenment, comes when you have all of your needs satisfied.

While the perfect happiness of enlightenment may be hard to achieve, and even harder to maintain, happiness is not an either /or case. There are nearly limitless degrees of happiness between the bliss of enlightenment and the despair of depression. Most of us fall somewhere between, closer to the middle than the edge. But to understand the causes and effects of happiness, researchers first need to define it. Many of them use the term interchangeably with “subjective well-being,” which they measure by simply asking people to report how satisfied they feel with their own lives and how much positive and negative emotion they’re experiencing.

Conclusion Happiness is the art of never holding in your mind the memory of any unpleasant thing that has passed. It is to be good and feel a lot of satisfactions for all the great things you have in your life.
