Examples Of My Strength And Weakness Essay

Decent Essays
My Strengths and Flaws At times we think that the world is perfect. If anyone has not fallen be prepared to fall. I have fallen many times. I lost count after the hundredth time. If I fall it does not mean that I am the worst person in the world, but means that failing is part of life. I can either stay on the ground or I get up to try again. The flaws that I have is where God perfects me in my weakness. If I was perfect, I would forget about God and be a prideful person. Everyone in the world have different strengths. A person can be good at math but struggle with English. A person may love science but hate history. God has given everyone different strengths and talents for a beautiful reason. My strengths in English are creativity and love …show more content…
One of my greatest strength for English class is creativity in my writing. My brain at times is always creating stories that are adventurous and fantasy. When I feel stressful or heartbroken, I start creating stories that talk about my family and storms we go through. I like to be alone and away from the crowd and just write stories in a quiet room. I feel like writing is my haven because, I am a bashful and a quiet person.
Another strength is that I love writing because it is my passion. I feel like I can express myself more in writing than talking. I believe that God gave me the gift to write about my faith in Christ. I love writing about topics that I am passionate about. One of my favorite topics is standing up for what is truth and talking about God. In areas that I have progressed in my writing for English, is using stronger words and throwing weaker words in the trash. Expanding my vocabulary has helped my writings to sound more like college level essays and not high school level. In the beginning of the year for Composition 1, I knew that I had to improve my writing because it was not high school anymore. At first I was struggling but I eventually began to use stronger words in my scripts. I started to find synonyms for brave and replace the word with valiant or chivalrous. The reason I improved in my vocabulary was because I wanted to expand my vocabulary and be more professional in my

One of my greatest flaws in my scripts is grammar. I love writing but not the grammar rules. I know that the grammar rules are there for a reason. I forget most of the grammar rules and make thousands of mistakes in my writing. I struggle with run on sentences and forget to add transition words in the sentence. I always for get to add commas in my sentences. I always write don’t which breaks the contraction rules. If I fall I get back up. In order to improve my writing in grammar area for English class, in need to know the grammar rules very well. I know that if I study them and review them, my life would be so much easier. I would make less mistakes in my scripts. Another of my last flaws, is how much I write in my essays. I struggle when I have a limit to write of pages. I have had my writing longer than my arms and legs. I write too much and I get off topic easily. If Ms. Collom as me for three pages, I have four or five pages. In order to improve how much, I write in my writing, is that I need to summarize my topic and not add too much detail. I need to get to the point and not repeat myself. If I just have an outline with points and add less details, my writings would be short and
