Now in days I have learned how to work around what 's going on in my life and now let it affect my learning. Some of my strengths are being determined to do well in school. Also, I am very organized with my time and with my papers. Lastly, I am very good at working in a team.

Last, of all attendance has shown to be a huge weakness of mine. Starting with …show more content…
First of all, like most high school students procrastinating is a huge factor that negatively affects me. I work full time and take care of my sister, so I procrastinate till last minute when I have to get it done because I like having a little free time. I have made me struggle a lot in the past. I am working on changing that. Also, I struggle with asking questions and communicating with the teacher, which leads to not understanding anything in the class. When this happened I just try my best at what part I did understand but I don 't usually ask. I feel like all the questions I do ask are too stupid and the teacher would get mad at me for asking. I struggle to get by a lot because of this. My last important weakness in school would be my attendance in the past, I have had a horrible history with showing up. In the last two years, I have had over 11 surgeries, followed by Bronchitis, and weak lungs. Not including my work schedule and having to raise my older sister. These were my weaknesses in high school but I will not be letting them follow into my college career.

These are my strengths and weaknesses in my past, some I am more proud to admit. I am working on improving my strengths and improving my weaknesses.
2. This college has many opportunities and resources for their students, more than I have ever seen. All of which are very useful to new students, but there are a couple I personally find very useful for myself. The two most useful for me would be the advising center and financial
