Sea Turtles have been credited with deep, magical qualities and can also be intense, calm, and imaginative. They tend to live in warm waters and care for their young. Their shell is as unique as a human fingerprint, and they value their own and others uniqueness.

Blessed with patience and great with complicated situations, often using their imagination to solve problems. They are natural listeners but can also apply their verbal skills to be very persuasive. They are interested in the idea behind what they’re doing, especially how it affects people.

Characteristics

Sea Turtles thrive when they can work independently in a calm, structured environment and share their creative ideas collaboratively in pairs or small groups. They are usually interested in making a positive impact in class and can focus on what needs to be done.

If they’re struggling, they won’t generally ask for help, they’ll hide away or lose interest in the topic or subject. To get back on track, try working and researching alone, diving deep into a topic until an intriguing connection is found.

Advice for Sea Turtles

We asked older Sea Turtles what advice they’d send back to their teenage self to make sure they were happy and successful. This is what they said:

To talk to other people about your many thoughts and ideas.
Not to take on other people’s problems as yours to solve.
To enjoy the real world in the present.
To act decisively over the important things in life.
