" Strengths and Weaknesses "

Where I am today is totally different from where I was once before. If I was asked this a year ago I probably would have answered in hell, but today I am in heaven.

I struggled with a lot of emotions in my past. So much it was depressing. I hated living with myself, it felt like I was dating me. I was breathless, if I took a breath it didn't feel real to me. The reason I am where I am today is because I finally owned up to my inner-self and faced life and its struggles. For so long I have been under my mom's wings that when it was time to face the real world and have responsibilities. I failed, I fell hard on my face. I am much happier now that I am controlling my own life.

A way in which I can contribute more would be to inspire other females who are dealing with identity crisis. To become a role model would be my other motivation in this lifetime.

" Strengths and Weaknesses "

Everyone has their strengths and their weaknesses, their high points and their low points. That question is usually heard at any job interview, or you might mention it as you are creating your resume. It’s a classic question that gives you a brief summary about yourself, it’s so typically used by people in this century. Although limiting in its synopsis of self, it is yet a question worth exploring.

I have concluded that one of my strengths would be my communication skills, which is by far my biggest strength. Insanely to believe but I work very well with all kinds of people and I keep in mind that everyone has their own perspectives. Another strength is having the ability to cope with failures and” trying” to learn from every mistake made. I am a highly energetic person with compassion but if pissed off I may come off aggressive. Which I will shortly explain when talking about any weaknesses I may have. I am also a good worker who enjoys putting in the effort to tend to others needs. Last on my list of strengths would be the satisfactory of learning new things, they say “A mind is a terrible thing to waste “, so why begin to now?

A huge weakness I have in this entireee world is the art of procrastination! What ! I am a big time procrastinator. Your probably reading this like .. “uh, how is this funny to you” but in real life when you do it so often making it a habit, you have no choice but to laugh it off. Because it to me, is a devastating disease I was once diagnosed with .. by myself . I am a very moody gal whose hormones rage desperately in certain situations that can’t be dealt with at times. I sometimes DO NOT have proper etiquette skills, I usually forget to use those when in my own world. I always have to have the last word which comes with bluntness. I am a very opinionated person who won’t hesitate to let someone know how I’m feeling at that very moment.

As I grapple with these two contradictory qualities of myself, I ask you the reader not to box who I am solely based on this grounding. The important thing is to take the negative and turn it into a positive. A way in which I can improve my weaknesses is by outweighing the good and the bad. No one is perfect at what they do, so we train, we begin to learn. If we’re satisfied with our decisions then we put it into a conclusion and gather the necessary information to approach it with a probable cause.

" Progress Assessment "

Well so far I really enjoy this class, the fact that we have an opportunity to express ourselves in anyway we can really puts a smile on my face :) You don't usually get teachers who allow you to do so. After each class I leave with eligible knowledge and facts .. It's really great way in getting to know each of your fellow classmates, it's incredible! Not to mention Professor V is a remarkable teacher who keeps us driven as well as focused. I actually have two assignments that I enjoy very much, which are both Fairy Tales and The Candy Introductions. There is definitely alot going on in the blogosphere nowadays. Seriously, I have never written a blog nor have I really looked at one. I guess you can say that I have been out of the loop for sometime now, because previously entering Self Assessment, I didn't think that other people worldwide were actually interested in this type of communication. I learned that many blogs focus on particular subjects such as web design, fashion, and classroom discussions. My analysis of written blogs are that most people derive their thoughts from classroom activities and personal journals. Generally speaking most blogs today have similar things in common. I mean the art of blogging and the use of social media has rapidly increased over the years, if you think about it. So why go back to the use of paper and pen when you have a much reliable and convient way of communication. I will be honest and say that I am not up to par with my assignments, however I will make sure that my time management skills increase to a higher level for me to accomplish any work pending as of now. I know that as a college student we are held at a certain standard. I will make it my business to begin and end any held back assignments given.

The blogs that I have not yet completed are Strengths and Weaknesses, Fairy Tales and commenting on other's postings.
