Based on the personal attributes above, I can comfortably mention that one of my key strengths is determination. As mentioned, I am always focused and I work extremely hard to achieve what I want. I remember sometimes back, I was lagging behind in certain subject at school and I resolved to improve in it extensively. First, I set a realistic goal to achieve at the end of the term and I came up with strategies to help me meet the goal.

The first of my strengths that I will talk about is Competition, I am so competitive I am always trying compete with myself and with my peers. An example of an area in my life right now where being competitive can help the people around me is in football, I am a red shirt which means that I practice with the team but I don't play in games, so during practice I go up against the starting defense and run our opponent's offense to give the starters a good look at what they will play against. Every repetition of offense that I can compete in I take as an opportunity to make my teammates better and to make them understand the play type of the other team.  Even competing in the classroom can improve the competitiveness of my peers, if I have a teammate in the same class I can motivate them to get an A or do all of their homework to make them better. I like to know that I am doing the best I can in a class, I am almost like a perfectionist also because if something I did is not perfect I beat myself up, so with this aspect I like to see my friends do as well in class or a competition as they can. I am so competitive that even though I don't play on game day it makes me angry when we lose because I want to see my teammates succeed.

My five greatest strengths are; empathy, consistency, relator, deliberative and discipline. After taking the test, it was very interesting because some of the strengths I found out that I had; I didn’t know I had them.
