My Greatest Strengths And Weaknesses

Jealousy is just another part of everyday life. As shown in Bobbie Ann Mason's "Being Country", it's not always easy to look at the bright side. For example, when Mason's family was eating dinner, she called it "fuel for work". Instead of looking to the negative side, she could've been grateful that she had food. Rather than looking at the positive side, we as humans like to generate an invalidating conclusion from unfortunate events in our lives to people that seem more fortunate. Envy and desire were two feelings that I experienced while growing up. Accepting these feelings weren't hard, turning them into ambitions were.

I’ve always struggled with trying to stay focused on my school work. While it may not look like it on the outside, it is a constant struggle in the inside. My mind is like a jungle gym with a bunch of kids zooming around. Sometimes I would just stare at the screen of my computer hoping the words would just appear themselves, but if that ever happened I probably wouldn’t even be here. My brain has these switches in them to tell me to do something else like play a game on your tablet or watch Netflix right when I am writing my essay. It’s how my brain works, and there never seems to be a manual switch because it’s automatic. My lack of focus caused me to face many obstacles, but through my weaknesses I discovered some of my greatest

For all seventeen years of my life, I have grown up in a Christian home and attended a Seventh Day Adventist church and school. I believe that growing up in a Christian environment has provided me with the foundation of my spiritual life. I 've been taught fundamental aspects and ideas of Christianity and have studied most of the common stories and messages of the Bible. However, even though I am equipped with these study materials and spiritual strengths, I believe that my relationship with God is shaky and not as strong as it has the potential to be. Even though I can proudly acknowledge that there is a God, I often don 't feel His presence and sometimes doubt His existence. I always find myself questioning my spiritual life and relationship with God. If I 've grown up in a Christian environment all of my life, why do I not have a strong relationship with Him? Why is my faith so weak? I believe that the answers to these questions can be found by acknowledging my spiritual weaknesses and using my spiritual strengths to improve them. I believe that acting on some of my spiritual weaknesses, such as an insufficient amount of time devoted to God, unfocused time with spent with Him, and biblical unintelligence, can help me to improve my spiritual life and walk with God.

I have created multiple PowerPoint presentations before. The most recent one was for Learning and Serving last semester. Creating PowerPoint is one of my favorite ways to do for any presentation that I give. I find it easy to use, and a good aid when giving a speech.

I am known to be bossy by some due to my apprehension of something turning out wrong and that the result will be disappointing. However, I take this as one of my strengths because it pushes me to push people to help them work out a problem I notice. This is important for a director to have because they need to help their actors make their production better. Another important one of my strengths that relate to those of a directors, is that I know the the people who will be trying out for parts. This will allow me to be able to pick the people whose personalities will bring humor and suspense to the play through their parts. Also, I will be able to have creative aspects that I can be able to include in this play. For example, I would be able

Throughout this interview that was conducted with my brother I learned a lot of things about myself that I never knew before, which will certainly help me in the future when I will be applying for work or volunteer positions. According to my brother I have many strengths, skills, qualities, talents and things that I need to work on. During the interview with my brother he said that my strengths were hard working, considerate, easy-going, generous, responsible, patient, passionate, loyal, dependable and determined. I never knew I obtained half of the strengths he mentioned but when he did I was stunned that he thought all of this about me. I also notice that all of these strengths is important when applying to careers or volunteer work because a manager will want to hire someone that is hard working and

English classes are fundamental to a child’s educational growth. My past English classes have developed me into the student and writer I am today. My most recent English class, however, has made the most substantial impact in my academic career. In my eleventh grade English III class I learned not only the rules of proper citation, but also my strengths and weaknesses as a writer.

“No matter how good you are, someone is always going to be against you. But never let them be the limit of your success” (Terry Mark). Throughout my first 3 years of high school, I was always a shy/quiet girl who wanted nothing to do with anyone. I did not want to do after school activities, I did not want to participate in class, I didn’t like going to the football games anymore since I was no longer on the cheer team and I did not want to go to school dances, all mainly because I thought about what people thought or said about me, and it bothered me… a lot. Since I had friends growing up doing things they shouldn’t be doing at their age, like drugs, partying, going out, etc., not acting like them I felt out of place, like I didn’t fit in.

I believe that life is a learning experience and being able to recognize our own strengths and weaknesses can help us become better individuals in anything we choose to do, whether it is positive abilities and skills that can help achieve our goals or negative personal areas that need improvement. Knowing yourself and what you can do, can help you recognize and overcome your weaknesses.

I am a science major and I have always minimized English Language courses because I thought I was already very good at writing. I did not think I would ever really need to use what I would acquire from such a course. When I came to Montgomery College and I was going to take the course English 101, my expectations were that I would have no difficulty scoring good grades in the course and I would learn nothing really helpful from it. This is because in high school, I put very little effort into my English class, but I had impressive scores in writing. I began to understand that I am not as good as I thought I was at writing when I started taking english courses in college. During my previous English course, English 102, I was able to improve certain aspects of my writing which I am glad for. For instance I am confident that my essay structures are well built. But some things in writing remained a challenge for me. I am glad that I am taking an English course that would permit me to work on things I thought I was already good at like awareness in writing essays and proper use of grammar and punctuation

As a communicator, I acknowledge that I have strengths and weaknesses. I was raised in a small country town and had an ethnocentric view on other cultures. After learning from lectures, I have become aware of this barrier and realised I needed to learn to understand other cultures. Now, I reflect on my behaviours and interactions. I acknowledge biases and plan to improve on difficult situations. I request feedback from my friends, family on my communication. This is now a strength, and has influenced my above average Meta-Cognition score of 5.5.

The purpose of this memo is to evaluate my listening skills, assess my strengths and weaknesses, and describe how I can improve my skills. My listening self-assessment score of 36 indicates that, although my skill level is decent, I have room to improve significantly. I regularly attend professional meetings where either informational listening or critical listening is required. Despite this, I consider my listening skills subpar and am aware of my need for improvement. In understanding how I can improve, I must first assess my strengths and weaknesses.

Freshman year of high school , One of the years you can't forget. That year as a teen growing up we want to know everything , explore places and go to special parties that will end up down on your list as a some of your best experiences. During my freshman year I met Eddie , Damani , Jean , Wali and a lot of other people even outside the city of Orange. All of us had similar interest and the one that's on top is partying , mean is because we figured if there a party then its females. Throughout all the partying my friends and I gain great among of popularity which is great, but that's when the jealous others reveal out of nowhere .

I believe in being happy for others, rather than being jealous of them, when they get things you want. It’s not uncommon to be jealous of a friend, and before eighth grade, I was often jealous of others. I was jealous that my friends had money when I didn’t, that my male friends actually looked masculine while I looked like a girl, and that they were more experienced romantically than I was.
