Personal Strengths

Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats Strengths Introverted: I am considered to be an introverted person. I mostly prefer to spend time alone than with others or in groups. However I love to work with other people. Working with other people can allows me to learn new things, but most of all I live to think. Thinking not only requires me to develop deeper thoughts by reflecting internally but it requires me to listen to others when they speak. This may allow me to come off quite in most cases but really it offers me more room to think critically. Creative: Being creative is a valid way I have learned to express my emotions, experiences, trials and tribulations. My creativity has allowed me to share my inner thoughts and feelings with the people around me in a way that has allowed them to understand who I truly am.

When I am open–minded I am able to let go of the control of my actions and thoughts. I am able to experience change and make mistakes. Making mistakes leaves room for improvement and wisdom. Most importantly I am able to see things in life from different perspectives other than my own. Weaknesses Lack of Confidence: Over time I have constantly struggled with having confidence in myself. I am learning that having confidence can make you feel better about yourself and I'm learning that I perform much better when I have confidence.

Continuing to trust myself is one the main ways I can learn to have

Whether it's an unexpected quiz on the toughest chapter of any subject or a hard game on the lanes. I always prepare myself for the unexpected and when it arrives, I don't waste time but rather mold myself to the changing reality. As an example, my experience in AP Calculus is a paragon for this characteristic. When I first started taking this class, I expected to obtain good grades. But as the concepts became more difficult, my grades struggled to stay on top. To combat this difficult situation, I adapted by responding calmly and seeking intelligent help from my teacher. This helped me not only to raise my grade but fully grasp the concepts at hand.

My other strength would be my efficiency in communication and people skills. As a volunteer at the Adventure Science Center, I was able to talk to the public effectively and explain difficult scientific concepts whether it be part of an exhibit or a Discovery cart. My communication skills are also seen in my involvement with Forensics for the majority of my high school years. This has helped me effectively
