Personal Narrative: My Strengths Request

According to the Strengths Finder Survey which identified my top five strengths by analyzing my answers to the questions asked of me on a website they are as follows: Strategic, Deliberative, Context, Adaptability and Learner. Being employed by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee for fourteen years this has taught me how to use those strengths to my advantage and also to the company’s advantage.

My writing abilities have gotten me by in the business environments that I have found myself in. That being said, I lack skill in formal writing. Because I took a clep test that exempted me from English Composition I and II in college, my experience in writing has been limited over the past four years. Furthermore, my major, Geomatics, does not demand a large amount of technical writing which has further limited my exposure to technical writing

As an incoming freshmen my strengths as a writer are a wide vocabulary , word usage, and writing argumentative essays. I feel with having strength in those areas allows me to be a successful write, with success comes some weakness. My weaknesses are grammar, punctuation, spelling ,and thesis statements. I have a hard time trying to depict what is the best punctuation when writing. All throughout grade school and high school I've always been an underachiever in spelling. English and writing are my least strongest subjects. I floundered in high school with these subjects. In my personal opinion I don't think my high school prepared us well enough for writing on the college level.  I think that the areas that I struggle are very basic levels of

My current strengths according to the LifeStyle Management Health Risk Inventory, is that I am punctual in seeing a primary care provider, whom I have seen in the past two years, it was suggested that it is of vital importance to do so, as a PCP can provide helpful information about my health and how I can improve any health problems I may have. Another strength of mine is that I get the flu shot on a regular basis, it is important to do so, as the flu virus does not spread to those who I am around and protects me from the virus. According to the LifeStyle Management Health Risk Inventory, my BMI is 21.03, which puts me in the healthy weight bracket, maintaining my weight in a healthy range will lower my risk for heart disease, cancer and other

One of my strengths as a writer is when I start to write I get into a writing flow, it is when someone's thoughts and writing feel like they are completely in sync as they write, and I am sure that almost everyone gets into a flow when they get focused enough. The problem for me is getting into that writing flow in the first place. I am talking about the common writer's block; also, another weakness that I found when I was in English N50 is that I have a particularly hard time writing about myself. I did improve over the course, but I still struggle. The last skill that I exceeded in my last English class is proofreading other classmates work, and that was either because I truly am good at proofreading, or it was because there was a lot of

When people think of writer’s block they assume that it’s because they are unable to think of what to write about. Well, that isn’t always the case, in my case, it’s because I have writers block due to the face that I am unable to translate what thoughts are in my mind on to a certain format. Of course I am aware of the tradition MLA formats as well as the APA, but unless it’s a research paper, a strictly scientific- biology related paper, I am at complete loss.

My primary strengths as a writer is using logos in my articles. I prefer to explain my idea logically, and prove my view by providing sufficient evidence and examples. So I like analyzing the news and social phenomenon so that I can understand the reason why these things happened behind the events.

One of my strength as a writer is that I always have something to say. It is not hard for me to come up with a topic to write or speak about. It is important that I know and understand the audience in which I am writing. I would have to say my challenges are staying focus on topic during a writing assignment. Brainstorming can be difficult at times. I come up with all types of ideas, but struggle sometimes choosing which ones to use in my writing.

As a writer, I have strengths and weaknesses. I am a really creative writer, and I have really great typing skills. I will continue to read a lot of fiction books to keep that creativity. My weakness is that I am not so good at writing nonfiction-type, papers. To fix that, I will read more books that are nonfiction, so I understand how they are written.

My ability as a writer and a reader has grown stronger each moment, from the beginning of the year until now. I have always struggled to write down my thoughts on a paper, it is easier for me just to say them out loud. Making the portfolio was something I was looking forward to. Making a timeline of how much my skills as a writer and a reader has improved throughout the course it shows my progression I have made. These two essays are the ones that showed how much I have improved over the past couple of months. The first essay that you will see in my portfolio shows how much I lack on providing critical information and how unclear the essay is. The second essay demonstrates how much I have grown from the first essay, it demonstrates my ability as a writer and a reader. Even

In ten years I see myself either in college getting ready to get a job to make my mom proud and struggling a little bit in some of the assignments. I would live either in a duplex or just in a little apartment for starters and possibly have a dog. The work I would be doing would be lots of paperwork for patients or customers, and my career would be working for Aura possibly with a second job working at a grocery store, not promising that. This goal is important to me because I would have to pay for groceries and rent and pay my bills so i can actually have a roof over my head and be able to eat all the meals that are necessary. This goal also helps me get a better understanding of what people are going through and lets me interact with others. This provides happiness to others and getting a better understanding of what people have to go through everyday of their lives. School has a counselor that can help you with finding the right career and helps you achieve your goals. School also has the teachers which

My personal strengths I have, are that I have experience to assist others to help maintain tempo and timing. This is also including members who are not in my section. I can I accept challenges with pride, with goals set to achieve them with great success. I know that when new marchers come in they aren't really sure of what to do or where to go, even later on in the season, this is why I’m going to be patient with them. When it comes to demonstrating what to do when marching, I am more than willing to step up and help. Learning from my freshman and sophomore experience and the guidance shown to me by my leaders has encouraged me to step up and become a coach and lead others.

Throughout the course of my time here in Olympia, my skills as a writer have blossomed and developed exponentially. From what I’ve seen and gone through this past year I’ve got quite a lot of inspiration and plenty of drive to keep me creative and functioning as an aspiring author. One thing that’s pushed me to dig deeper into my mind for a stronger story has been this blog. The prompts given to us have really made me reflect on myself, which I admittedly don’t do that often. This final entry should wrap up what this blog has done for me this semester, and show you what changes I’ve made as a growing author.

In fifth grade I was a person who did not take school as serious as I needed too. One of my strengths was that I was able to work through the problems had. A weakness is I would goof off a lot so I would miss things I needed to hear. I changed because I learn more because I pay attention, a new strength is having people help me when I need it. My identity is a baseball player who has good grades, and is a good friend. I’m happy with that because I enjoy the things i’m known for. I should ask more of myself, because I know i’m good at baseball, but when it matters sometimes I don’t do as well as I know I can. Also, I sometimes think I don’t need to study or do school work, but when I get the grade back I am a little disappointed. I should relax

That is, until I was nine and fainted at the sight of my own blood when I cut my finger.
