A professional strength that I have is patience which is a powerful skill when learning something new and working with diverse populations. I also have the strength of problem solving which I find helpful when I have to make decisions on the spot that have long term consequences. Finally, I take great responsibility for my work and persona, which means I take responsibility of my bias when working with people and also producing excellent work. After working with children, I have learned that one of my weaknesses is being permissive. I was culturally raised to be agreeable and I am taking steps to have a more active voice. When learning something new, I typically enjoy mastering it on my own which has led me to be stubborn when asking for help.
