Strengths And Weaknesses Of My Life

Everyone faces barriers in their everyday lives, and I am no exception. My personal challenges have always happened to pertain to fitness and P.E. classes. I have tried to be athletic, when I was younger I was on a soccer team, a basketball team, and participated in Winterguard in eighth grade, all along with throughout the years desperately trying to make myself stick with a workout schedule. There are a few things in particular that have kept me from being physically active, despite my efforts, until recently in my life; I’m very busy and bad at time management, I don’t do well continuing things, and I lack athletic talent.

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.

HI! I am Alysia Lucas, an actress, model, and brand ambassador based out of San Antonio, TX. I'm applying for a position on the Wing’s Team at RedBull. The fun and energetic attributes a member of the RedBull team should have, I feel I've always exemplified. Recieving a job with the Wings Team would be a privledge, and I feel I woulld be a valluable asset to the family.

My fall term at Florida Southwestern State College was surely an experience. I was capable to have a very successful term. I am hoping to keep using my experiences to improve and grow as a college student. The course that I took was a great value to me. It taught me some very important things. As my fall term of college is coming to an end, there has been a couple of feelings I have come to realize in the beginning of my term. My fall term life at college naturally generates excitement, nervousness, and stress. The most important main topics I learned in this course across the semester is money management, time management, and critical thinking skills.

1. Maturity is a strong character trait that I pride myself in having, which gives me the ability to be organized and in control of my work. I aim to complete my assignments sooner than later and I do so by prioritizing my tasks. I have learned to use technology to my advantage by utilizing a calendar and setting reminders on my phone. I have also found using a written daily planner has been helpful in remembering my assignments. During the summer between my freshman and sophomore years, I chose to take an online Honors Biology course. I completed the class and all of its requirements at home without supervision and achieved a grade of 98. Accomplishing this shows my maturity to manage my deadlines and academic interests.

First of all, thanks to you, Professor Rutter, I have finally devoted time to make a balance sheet, a document stating my current assets and income, and liabilities at the certain period of time. Now I have been deliberately reviewing my credit card statements for the previous month, and calculating how much money I have spent on the food each month, or how much I have spent on shopping at amazon.com, etc. And even though my consuming behavior was never driven by materialism completely, this class reminded me to be realistic about my general spendings, and to strictly separate the needs from the wants. Additionally, I have expanded my skill of setting financial goals and working towards them. For example, because of Christmas time that is approaching fast, which usually includes gifts and travels, I suggested and pursued that my family (me, my husband, and our child) stick to the weekly budget for food, including dining out. And it is been very helpful method to save some money.

My life in America started with a couple of unfortunate events that changed me profoundly. In the first six months in this country, I learned to be resilient, innovated and decisive. Thanks to those experiences I was prepared to achieve my American Dream. Before I moved to this country, I was a studious girl, that owned a small cloth shop in a town in the middle of the jungle. I could only dream of having a successful career. It was very unlikely that a girl from the Choco, the poorest and least developed state in Colombia, could graduate with honor from a school like Villanova. And even less likely that I could become the only Latina and the only black woman in the legal, engineering team of a 12 billion dollar company, that is considered one of the top companies for work-life balance. The US has given me all opportunities and all the tools to succeed.

The Strength test gave me five strengths that creates my personality. The five strength finders that I received were ideation, positivity, arranger, futuristic and restorative. Ideation is when a person is opened to new ideas and always create their own ideas. Positivity is when a person has enthusiasm that is contagious. They are always excited and can get others to get excited too. Arranger is a person that can organize well. Futuristic is when people get inspired about the future and what it can be. Lastly, Restorative is when a person is able to solve problems successfully. They can figure out the cause of the problem and fix it. These five strengths are relatable to myself because as I examine my

Many people throughout generations in America have been raised to focus on their weaknesses instead of their strengths; I was one of those people. After taking general psychology, I was always interested in further learning about myself through highly developed tests, like StrengthsQuest, and was very excited when I got the opportunity to take one. My strengths from the test are Analytical, Futuristic, Relator, Individualization, and Responsibility.

    I am a 19 year old female, I come from a family of 5. My family and I came to the United States of America from Mexico to improve our future. At first having to get into the routine of adapting to a different environment was difficult, but with time we have adapted. My brother is 21 and has not yet received a diploma instead he works, and my sister is in 8th grade doing decent  in school. I am the first one from my family to graduate, receive a high school diploma, and the first one to attend college. I am currently enrolled in San Bernardino Valley college, and I plan on transferring to Cal State San Bernardino to obtain a nursing degree. Throughout my journey I have faced three major challenges which are in education, health and fitness life, and personal growth.

In class there was a survey we had to take that would tell us about our  top 5 strengths. Even though the test was very long I was able to learn alot about myself. The top five strengths that were given to me are futurististic, deliberative, significance, achiever, and responibility. Out of those five I chose three because those are the strengths that resembles me the most. My first strength was futuristic, in the strengthsquest quiz it was very accurate because  I am the type of person who always think about the future. Since a young child I always would think ahead of the years , months and days which I will always strive to meet them. Everything I do is for a positive outcome , I sometimes think about the future so much I start to hold myself accountable at a high rate on and off the court, On the basketball court I give it my all because I have big goals to be a professional and the only person who can stop me is me, so i refuse to have a setback because knowing I didn't take care of business and that’s putting me a step behind to reach my goals.

Over the past 18 years of my life on this earth I have felt that I have created my strengths from my past experiences and my urge to become the best person that I can be. It also plays into the type of student that I want to be and can be with the evolution or continuation of my education. Over my lifetime I noticed that some of the strengths that I have discovered in myself are my math skills, my ability to somewhat talk to people, my problem-solving capabilities, and my sympathy towards people who are going through issues in their lives. The reason why I highlight these “strengths” is due to the fact that I don't really notice very many “strengths” in myself or I just don't view my strengths as actual strengths, but I feel like these are my most important and

I sat across. Observant of the way her weary eyes reflected the crisp sunlight, vaguely peaking through the gaps of the steady blinds. The air lingered of analogous grief; dominating the only sign of delight barely seeping through her sanitary extent. The air was sweltering hot, like the dancing of flames and the crackle sound as wood burns. I felt suffocated by the obnoxious dancing flames like the sillage of a shifty crime - succinctly covering all the salient points of the case. A case in which illustrated a woman at rest ahead of me. I watched her pale complexion to the weakness of her eyes, that glared deep into the horizon. I smile deep into the windows to her soul, getting lost by the seconds added to it perceiving every fine line

Famous professional boxer, Muhammad Ali, once said, “Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.” My lifelong ambitions revolve around this central idea of striving and determination. By continuously encountering both positive and negative situations, I have still managed to stay aggressive and strong. This will help me learn that each step I take now and in the future dictates the progress in my life. Society always talks about how one can stay motivated and strive for success throughout life, but there seems to be more than that than said. Many individuals try to reach a state of perfection, however, they are just as concerned describing their strengths as they are describing their weaknesses. These strengths and weaknesses are defined and shaped by our everyday actions and behavior in both the academic and secular world. Aside from thinking about education and success, I am focused on great visions that will fundamentally help me live prudently. I have faced many challenges in my personal and academic life that have provided life learning lessons and experiences for me to learn from and bring change. These experiences and lessons have ignited a new spark in my life that will present fresh signs of a new hope, with a deeper significance, broader experience, and more commitment.

AN: I really wanted to take part in this contest, I edited what I could but I doubt, I'll get past the first round, but I hope to make it to 2k words at least!
