My biggest weakness is speaking in public. This has always been a weakness of mine because I am usually very soft spoken and anxious when I get in front of a large group of people. I have learned that speaking in public isn’t all about talking, it is about visuals and how to speak in a way that captures people’s attention. I plan to improve on this by putting myself out there more and speaking with more confidence. I also want to join a public speaking class later in the future to help me improve with my speaking skills.

I plan on improving my writing by practicing more and asking teachers on what they feel I can improve on. I also plan on reaching out to the writing center for help with my writing. My last weakness is setting goals for myself. I feel that this is a weakness of mine because I feel that my goals don’t challenge me as much as they should, and I simply make them so that I can accomplish them and not challenge myself at all. I will improve on this by setting goals that I don’t think I can accomplish, so that way when I accomplish them I will feel proud of
