Before I took the StrengthsQuest test, I had no idea what my strengths would be. After taking the StrengthsQuest test, my five strengths ended up describing me as things I never saw myself as.

Through my four years of high school, I attended three different schools. I went from a small private school to where I knew everyone and their grandparents, to a large public school, both in Birmingham, Alabama. From there, I traveled to Cleveland, Tennessee where I graduated from Polk County High School. Through all of my transitions to new high
