Strengths

My two greatest strengths

1. One of my greatest strengths is that I have the ability to motivate myself to reach my goal. I wouldn’t need anyone to push me forward to reach my goal. Every time I am feeling down and I feel like I want to quit, I just tell myself “you can do it, it will all pay off later”. There has been many times where I wanted to drop out of high school, but I manage to still pull through and make it and graduate. Another thing that I was able to accomplish was getting through my first year of college with good grades. I am the type of person who hates school and I am very lazy. However, I still manage to get all A’s and B’s in my classes in freshman year. I was able to make my mom happy, which was a great accomplishment.

2. One of my other greatest strength is that I able to help others with their problems. I have the ability to encourage others to do better even if I’m going through my own problems. I also have the ability to encourage him or her to do better in life and show them right from wrong. Sometimes people just need the helping hand because they do not have someone to help them guide them in the right path.

My two eras for improvement

Short-term plan

            Make sure I don’t get lazy and do not think about myself but think about my family and friends.

Long-term plan

            Write down my goals to remind me to reach it every day that I wake up. Make sure I don’t get lazy or give up on reaching my goal.

Insight about my performance

Knowing how long I’ve come and where I am at today I feel satisfy and happy. I am happy to know that I am one step closer to my dream and knowing that I will make my mom happy and proof to others and myself that I was able to accomplish what I thought was not able to accomplish. 

Everyone in life goes through problems. Some deals with it differently than others. With this being said, people sometimes turn to drugs to help them cope with their issues others look for people to help them with their issues. We are put to this world to go through ups and downs, nothing in life is handed to you nor is it perfect. In order to learn about the real world, you need to learn it the hard way. However, no matter how we deal with our issues, we still manage to make a change some way somehow, to live a better life and not make the same mistake again.

            I have gone through a lot of difficulties in life, whether it is at home, school, with friends, or with my mate. Although it was hard to deal with, I still manage to deal with it and get through it with the help of friends and myself. One must be strong in order to gain themselves back up when encountering with these difficulties, but I manage to do it. As time went on, I realize that those weren't big issues. I am now dealing with the death of my grandmother, my mother’s mother. She passed away on September, 30, 2013, a day after my birthday. I never had a loved one passed away before in my life, especially so close to me. Her whole life she has been going through a lot of difficulties. She was dealing with severe diabetes for 14 years of her life. With all her complications, I have never seen some one so strong in my life. Although I have encounter with this problem, I believe that there is just one strength that will help me address this problem, such as, having the ability to regain myself back up and tell myself she is in a better place and being all depress will not help the problem, it just will make it worse for myself. The only person that I can use as a sounding board to help me through my problems, will be my boyfriend and my family. They are the only once that I can trust and confide in to help me through my problems, I know they will never let me down. As I mentioned before, Since I have encounter with this issue, I am managing on dealing with it on my own. There is not much I can say, but to say that in life you just have to be strong and tell yourself, after every storm there is a sun shine.
