This is a project the personally focuses on us. This project is for us to recognize our strengths and weakness and how we can improve them. It also allows us to see why its important for us to control some of our weakness in the classroom. The project was to show that we are all human and that we all make mistake but as teachers we have to be aware that we have to set examples and be careful because children can pick up our habits that we might find as a weakness.
Strengths & Weakness Paper
People choose their careers on what they are good at, or by what they love. They also base their careers on their personal strengths. It is very important to know your strengths and weakness. Your strengths and weaknesses is what makes you who you are and it is important for people to know them. I feel like knowing your strengths and weaknesses can help us better ourselves in the lives that we live. It helps us better friendships, jobs, and hobbies which can help us achieve the goals that we pursue. Strengths and weakness runs through every person they just have to figure out what they are. To be happy in life I had to accept my strengths and weaknesses because I had to learn that everyone is different and nobody is alike especially in their strengths. It makes it easier to accomplish things knowing my strengths.
Choosing to become a teacher is a good example of me living my life through my strengths and weaknesses. Through my strengths I learned that I like to be active. I was never the type to just set at a desk and be their for house like you would do at a office job so I knew that I wanted to do something active. Another one of my strengths is that I love helping children figure and solve issues. An example would be that I like to do puzzles with children. They look so amazed when they get the correct shape into the puzzle and you can see their minds wonder and work so hard to figure it out. I enjoy seeing that. That’s how I knew I wanted to help children and teach. My greatest strength to me is helping people in general. I try to help them any way that I can weather its from personal issues to advice , I like being their for people. I feel like me wanting to always help people would let my students know that I generally do care for them and want the best for them. I get excited to know that I helped someone.
Thinking of my weaknesses, the first thing I think about is I'm a terrible procrastinator. I always tend to not start on tasks until its close to the time that they were suppose to be done. This makes me stress out a lot especially if its something like homework because I always feel like I'm not going to have time to complete it or say everything if it was paper or essay. However, do this makes me focus more. It lets me come up with the first answer or first thing off the top of my mind because usually when I'm writing my papers and I have time I start to get side tracked. I do understand the importance of doing my work and being responsible for getting it done. As a teacher I understand that I will have to turn in grades and get work completed for my students and my peers. I will have to set myself on a schedule which will help me with making the completion time of the schedule which will be way before the due date so that its done so I wont have to rush or not be finished with it.
There are many things I can do to help my weakness. Although I talked about some ways I can improve in the last paragraph I feel like there are still more ways. The first one way would be to break my work down in portions. So I can do parts of the work time by time. The reason why people procrastinate is because many feel like the work it overwhelming at the moment. Breaking it done will help make it easier and better to get it done. Another thing I need to do is to take away things that I go to when I do procrastinate like my phone and television. As a teacher im sure im not going to want to stay after school late after hours grading papers so I should also take that into consideration and it may make me want to stay more focused.
Knowing what your strengths and weaknesses are can help you in your career and be the best you can be. I know what I still need to improve on and I will would to do that. I want to work to improve because I want to be the best teacher for my students and I want them to know that they can depend on me and that they don’t have to ask me a million times for their homework, assignments, and test grades but they will always be up to date as soon as possible. Being a teacher have to be involved a lot in your students lives so they are a priority you have to help them in every aspect in their school work and their safety so I feel like my strengths and weaknesses can help me be a better person for them!
