Positive Psych Extra Credit
#1 - Fairness, equity, and justice – I was surprised that my top strength came out to be, I thought it would be Judgment, critical thinking, and open-mindedness. I am a fair person and treat others like how I would want to be treated, but even more than that people are people, with feelings and we are all different and complex. There’s not a right wat to act, the way in which you live is influence by your actions and the way you think, what is right and wrong. Therefore, I try to not make judgement of other people on how they dress and act. I asked my older sister if this trait best characterizes me and she said yes. I guess it makes sense, because in general I try to treat everybody with respect and fairness. …show more content…
In my spare time, I loved reading and even the summers it was about reading young adult books, such as Twilight. In school, I devoted most of time if not all to my studies, I didn’t even hang out with friends. I accomplished a lot academically and that went on through High School. Now in College, it is the same commitment that I put in my High School years, now I have more time to sleep and less classes and extra-curricular activities. Looking back at my years, I kind of regret not hanging out with friends, I just took school very seriously and my summers consisted of enjoying time with myself, sleeping in and reading. Now, since my friends are also in the same boat as me we hang out and study together and we catch up and take breaks from studying so now it’s nice to have company, but it was hard back then. However, I can agree that I didn’t have a lot of fun in my teen years, I was serious about my academics. It was a big transition from High school to college, because exams are more emphasized and in high school assignments done in class, homework, even being present accumulates to your grade, so if you make a bad grade on an exam you can make up corrections and it doesn’t’ dictate your grade, unlike college. College is stressful, because I just want to learn and getting tested puts a lot of pressure on myself to do well, and that creates anxiety and stress. So, I try to focused on the material than the grades and ultimately I try to do the best that I can. Sometimes I don’t’ have time to enjoy a book that I have been wanting to read because I have other homework and studies to focus on. I disappoint a lot of friends who want to hang out with me, because I enjoy reading in my spare time. However, I love the knowledge I get and share what I have learned with
