MY STRENGTH
Throughout this essay I will be discussing both my personal strengths and weaknesses. The
purpose of highlighting strengths and weaknesses is to reflect on ways in which I can solve my
weaknesses and ways to make my strengths even stronger. I have never been a confident
person, so it is hard to think of any possible strengths of mine. However, a strength that I
believe I have is being able to be well organised. Having good organisation skills is important to
have for any situation as it increases productivity. This is especially important for a college
student as by being organised it allows things to run smoother and for the important tasks,
such as assignments to be completed.
Organisation skills also provide efficiency and can significantly decrease stress levels, as by
managing time it increases overall satisfaction and productivity. To maintain this skill I plan on
keeping to to date with all class notes and focusing on assignments to help achieve the best
possible grade I can. The next ‘strength’ I believe to have is being able to observe. This may not
be typical seen as a strength, but personally I believe it can be. I like being able to observe
what’s going on around me and to be able to apply for to whatever it may be, for example
during classes as I like to observe what’s being said and then interpret in my own way.
Confidence has always been a key weaknesses and struggle of mine which impacts my daily life.
Since the class starting in September I’ve struggled a lot with confidence as anxiety places a
huge part in my life. This makes it impossible to contribute in classes and to take part in class
activities because it is always a constant fear and battle. I am trying to overcome this as to
become successful in life I will need to be able to be confident in some way. Another weakness
of mine is not being able to adapt to change quickly as I like everything staying the same.
However, this is not a realistic idea and since coming to college I have adapted to the change
better than I thought in certain aspects, but in other trying to work on. Academically I’m not the
smartest of people, which is another weakness as intelligence doesn’t come natural and to
enhance this I am trying to put in a lot of effort in order to maintain good grades. If I manage to
graduate college with a good enough grade I would like to continue studying to get a masters
degree. As this will help expand knowledge and will help me to become a more rounded
individual. Career wise I’m not sure what I would like to do yet, but by the end of my college
journey I will have hopefully managed to figure out what I would like to do, as I believe we still
have plenty of time to decide.
