Five Strengths
The five most significant strengths’ would be setting goals, managing time, critical thinking, reading and writing. I think that these five skills are the most important for the successful graduation from college and, these are the skills that I will be focusing on improving.

The first strength on my list is Proper goal setting because is what starts the process. Success comes from setting short term goals that eventually lead to a bigger long term goal for example, a freshman students setting his long term goal to be the successful graduation of college. To successfully graduate college the student needs to set short term goals that help him along the way.
I will not graduate if I do not understand the importance of effective time management. People who properly manage time have a great advantage over those who do not. The student who allocates sufficient time for his studies in order to complete his or her work will always surpass the student who leaves everything for the last minute.

To have a more critical mind will increase the meaning and understanding in any subject. I started recently questioning everything I read and looking for the answers as I read on; It truly has help me in understanding the material. I will try to be ever more critical on every thing I read for I believe it would make me a better learner.

Above average reading and writing skills is what is going set me apart from my peers. To always improve in these two skills is my ultimate goal. With my long term goal being to get a degree; I will have dedicate time to improve on my reading and

    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.

    * Read? Thinking critically when reading has helped me keep an open mind about what I am reading. I know that when I sit down to read something now that I can’t have a closed mind, I have to look at it from every angle that I can. I have learned that I can ask question and try to find the answer in the answer when I am reading. I feel like I can pick up on some of the feeling that the writer had when they were writing the article, or the book that I am reading. For example with the discussion question for week 8, dealing with Terri Schiavo I got to think outside the box, it was a hard…
