Community Service Strengths
I do not do a lot of community service, but when I do it is usually related to helping those who are less fortunate or those who have disabilities. My interest in such organizations began when I worked in the special interventions room in my high school. My earliest memories of volunteering come from helping out at the Shelby County Special Olympics.
When it comes to community service I have a variety of strengths. One big strength is that I know everyone is different and instead of looking at this in a bad way, I look at it as a way to learn even more new ideas. This is especially important when working with those with disabilities. I also believe that I am a positive example for others. I set a good example and I am someone that people can look up to.
I pride myself on my strengths, but I know that I also have some weaknesses when it comes to leadership. When it comes to feedback I do not always want it. The reason that I do not want it is because I am afraid of negative feedback, but I should be open to it as a opportunity to grow. I also am not always open to everyone contributions. If it is not how I want it done or if it is not to a certain standard it can sometimes be hard for me to accept. Finally I am not one to bring up new projects, instead I would rather find myself in leadership roles in

This organization is important because it offers career opportunities and/or a place for those with disabilities to go. It is important to me because I believe that everyone should be treated as equally as possible and should have similar opportunities offered to them. I have worked with and know many individuals who have disabilities and who have a lot to offer. Without the support of others they would not be able to find jobs or make products that other individuals would enjoy. These individuals are capable of a lot, but they need a little bit of help getting

    I have many strengths as well as areas to grow in, some of them overlap as both a strength and an area of growth. One of my strengths is trying hard to get any job put in front of me done no matter what it may be. Another is the inability to say no to anything someone asks me to do such as pick up a shift at work or can you help them at home. This one is as much an area of growth as it is a strength. Some areas of growth that I am focusing on improving include being more patient and not speaking too much.…

    I feel I have many different strengths. One of which I think stands out the most is that I’m willing to take criticism. When I get scowled by someone, I don’t take it as something negative right away. Instead I will sit down and reflect on the situation before coming to a conclusion. Many people will think the person yelling at them is terrible but I think it’s the opposite. This is because the person actually cares enough about you to point out your weaknesses so that you know and be able to fix them. A weakness of mine…

    Another strength value is using my sense of sensibility when addressing problems in the community; this is according to my ethical lens results. I am in the middle on these results, I believe that you must use sensibility but also need to be rational. If I was to favor one over the other it would have to be rationality. One strength attribute that I appreciate a whole lot is the tradition strength. I think this strength can go a long way of helping myself and others out, being able to learn from others that have been in my position and analyzing their decisions benefits me. Some may overlook this attribute; I on the other hand value this trait and have been taught this attribute from an early age and then again in the…

    I like to think I have many strengths. After review of my character/ personality test, I can see what they are. I am a task-oriented leader, which drives me to finish a project. I have a strong individual work ethic, which allows me to be responsible and not rely on others. I am good at building and leading a team. I am not power oriented, so I am not manipulative and scheming. My preferred power types include collaborating, compromising, legitimate.

    I find that my strengths include achievement motivation,school engagement, and reading for pleasure.

Although I hold these strengths I am most definitely not a perfect…

    The traits within myself that I identify as my strengths are my constant observation and drive to improve the world. While at first glance, these traits may appear to be everyday characteristics of people, but I feel they are the solid foundation which my other strengths, like leadership, organization, creativity, and balance and are built on. In high school, I was stage manager for the fall musical, a job that included being the point person for one hundred plus students for three months, communication between the production parties, and making sure everything ran on time. My observations as well as interviews with past stage managers and research helped me build a solid foundation…

    I agree with my strengths that I have compassion. I feel that I am a very compassionate person. I truly enjoy working with and helping people. My compassion is the main reason that I have chosen to work in the healthcare field. Even though my work has not exactly been hands on medical treatment to patients it has always been the work of making sure patients are getting the quality care and respect that they deserve. Another strength I possess is that I see clearly and use my head. I always trust my gut and feel that I am in tune with myself and have the ability to stop and interpret my instincts. In other words I have good judgment and trust my judgment. I also concur that I live out my role of responsibility. When I complete any work, regardless what the work is and it has my name on it I am going to complete it thoroughly and with pride. I want my classmates and co-workers to know that they can rely on me to complete my work and that my work will be that of quality.…

    My other strength is a giver, and I have strong merit of being honest and will always make sure that I will make a difference. Whenever I perform my job duties I make sure I come in with good intentions. I deal with customer service all day and project task all in an eight hour shift. Many people I have seen in the past cheated or stole time that really affected the company along with the workplace. I tend to talk to these individuals into just working as a team instead of being a weak link. I am an easily approachable person, which make sense through this personality spectrum that people see through me. I love to talk business and make sure everyone wins which is a great strength I am well aware of.…
