Strengths And Weaknesses Essay Examples

I live in a family of four: my mother, my father, and my brother, Tanner. My brother is twenty-three years old, and works in my dad’s office, which is a State Farm Agency. Even though we do not always get along, my brother and I love each other and I look up to him, sometimes. He did not care about school as much as I did, and seeing him regret that sometimes helps me think about my future and college more. He went to Laverne University, not really sure what he wanted to be but knew it was something involving business, and he graduated last winter with a bachelor’s degree in business. He is looking for possible jobs and careers, but for now he is the office manager of my dad’s office and getting experience dealing with customers and using certain

I have never really had much confidence in most of the things I do, although I have gotten better at it. It usually does not affect me that much, since I do not think I can never succeed, but I expect me to not do so well, but hope that I still somehow manage to do well. Even though I do not have much confidence, I still try to put my best effort in my work. I am very determined to do my work and achieve my goals, and I strive to get good grades. Having low confidence and still being determined and doing my best might sound conflicting and confusing, because it is. However it can be simply rephrased as even though I expect to not do well, I still try my best anyway, and let the outcome be the outcome. So in a way, those strengths and weaknesses cancel eachother out. Another weakness I have is anxiety and stress. I stress and worry a lot, and even though I try to not let it get to me, it usually does. Most often I panic, which does not lead me to a better state, and I get overwhelmed more easily than others. Along with regular stress, I have social anxiety. I am timid and slightly shy, and I do not like large groups of people I do not know, which is why I have not gone to the student store unless I was accompanying a friend that was purchasing something. I think my greatest strength is that I can quickly learn or understand subjects and topics quickly. Although I may learn something quickly, I most

I will most likely not make it this year, so I have another year to practice for junior year. I plan on taking AP Physics either junior and senior year, since I plan on majoring in Aerospace. Another goal I have is to start my own club, since I think it will be a fun experience and it is good for college applications. For long term goals, I have several possibilities and paths depending on certain factors and events that occur. My main plan is to go to Caltech university and once I graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Aerospace, and take the two engineering exams, I can work at JPL as an Aerospace engineer. Since the acceptance rate is eight percent, and the overall cost for four years is over three hundred and sixty thousand dollars, I have a backup plan. Because my dad fought in the gulf war, I am able to attend any UC school for free. My family just learned this recently, and it sound way better than $360,000, although with Caltech you can get a job at JPL right away. Another possibility is Cal Poly Pomona, because it is also a good school for engineering. After I graduate whichever college I end up going to, I plan on getting an apartment in the local area so I can still be around my parents. If my parents ever let me leave them, a goal I have is to live in another country, preferable Japan. If my parents still want me to stay local, I can get a house big enough for me to have a
