Personal Narrative: My Strengths

Decent Essays
A weakness that I have is that I do not know how to say no to individuals that ask me for help since I love to help people. It is important that I learn to say no when helping others gets in the way of me accomplishing my tasks. It is important that I do both, but not when I run the risk of not meeting my deadlines and me staying late hours after work to get my work done. It has not been an easy task saying no, but I am learning to be okay with saying no because it is important that it does not interfere with my responsibilities.
A strength that I have had ever since I was young has been my strong organizational skills. Being organized has helped me to stay focused and get my tasks done on time by carefully paying attention to detail to complete

Without communication between people, nothing would get accomplished, and we would all be lost. Another one of my strengths was empathy. Although, I think being empathetic is more of a weakness than a strength, it still describes me well.…

    Throughout the course of my life, one thing that I have always relied on is my ability to write. Not to say so much as my talent of writing, but that from an early age I could be content and occupied with just paper and a pencil. What started off as an occasional, jumbled up short story concerning topics such as, dragons or haunted grocery stores, soon grew into an everyday hobby of mostly poetry and unfinished novels.…

    I connect to this quote in many ways. One way is because I have always had the mentality thatI need to live life to the fullest. I do not want to waste a minute thinking “what if”. Another way would be I do not want to miss out on anything like jumping off of cliffs and diving into crystal clear water, going to concerts, going on road trips around the country and many more unforgettable moments. You never know when’s the last time you will get to do something so take the opportunity’s as they come and live.…

    Oftentimes, it is first nature for a person to go about their daily life, paying more attention to the things they regard as failures and weaknesses. As humans who learn as we mature, we are not born with the innate ability to recognize all of the strengths that we actually possess and simply choose to overlook. Many of us, including myself, must first learn about our strengths from other sources, such as the StrengthsFinder assessment created by Donald O. Clifton, in order to realize and learn about the good qualities that we possess, and can utilize in school or our professional careers. Upon taking the StrengthsFinder assessment for myself, my top five strengths ended up comprising of: consistency, harmony, restorative, responsibility, and input. My basic knowledge for each of these traits turned out to be much more limited than I had initially thought because reading about each trait revealed a much more in depth perception on the kind of person these assets describe.…

    Because of this, I suppose I would list humility as a strength of mine. Passionate, hard-working, organized, loyal, and honest are also strengths I would relate to my character. My challenges compose a rather extensive list, but for the sake of time, I will only list my most frequently occuring. Time management, discipline, money management, stewardship and obedience are all weaknesses I try to overcome daily. It is clear to see how my strengths have/will benefit me in college.…
