My Characteristics

Live has not been easy for me, but with my effort and dedication I been able to get the best of everything. I am a very confident person. The best way to gain self-confidence is to look deep inside of yourself and believe that you have the ability to overcome all obstacles and challenges that you are faced with, on a daily bases. I believe in my abilities and myself. I am at the point where I most first believe in myself before others will believe in me. Three of the most important characteristics about me that have helped me success in life are. I am patience. I am kind. I am a very enthusiastic person.
First of all, I have one skill that most people do not have but would most definitely benefit from would be restraint. I have the ability to wait for something without excessive frustration. When you have patience, all things will eventually fall right into place. Especially when you working with kids you need more patience, it will be necessary to master your own mind. It is all about control, self-control.
Secondly, caring it is the single most important factor to success in my life. I feel that nearly all of the friends I have in my life I have made through being kind. No one wants to hang around people who put him or her down, calls him or her names, or mistreats them. People want to be reassured when they are going through hard times. By being kind people, are drawn to me. In most cases, because I am kind to others, they show the same kindness to me. This is why I have such a large group of friends who support me.
Thirdly being positive is a discipline. Have you ever told someone that you just woke up on the wrong side of the bed? I often feel like I can't help feeling crabby, but mood swings can be reversed. We can control our moods. But in order o do that we have to be positive and thinking about positive things too. I consider myself to be enthusiastic, because I don’t have negative toughs in my mind and what surround me if always

    I have learned from my areas of growth and turned them into strengths.. I try to stay quiet and not talk about dumb things or just keep quiet in general. Also, my impatience has actually helped me learn how to deal with certain people and work certain jobs. Now instead of getting mad and upset from little kids not listening I just learn to take their attention away from whatever they are doing wrong. My strength, of trying to get the job done that is put in front of me, has helped me become better prepared for the real world and what is to come after high school and college. Other strengths which were the inability to say no has helped me do well when working outside of…

    These study skills will help me during my work as note taking and self-research is what I have learnt myself and will always have to look back on if needed. Learning the qualities of being a professional practitioner will help me during my work as I know what I can and cannot do whilst around children and young people. Being an effective team play or individual worker will help me as I will be working with others, but also will be a confidence boost for myself. As an individual worker, this shows that this is one of my strengths and that I feel comfortable with which way I work or who I work with. Time management is a key study skill. This means that I will not be holding back the children’s and young people’s learning, and that I will also be setting a good example to the younger ones. Presentation skills are also needed in near enough everything you do. Even if the practitioner is just explaining something, s/he is still presenting herself and the way she speaks to the…

    According to the Mayo Clinic, “Positive thinking often starts with self-talk. Self-talk is the endless stream of unspoken thoughts that run through your head. These automatic thoughts can be positive or negative. Some of your self-talk comes from logic and reason. Other self-talk may arise from misconceptions that you create because of lack of information” (Positive Thinking). Being optimistic is absolutely mental. The Mayo Clinic shares the most effective ways to becoming optimistic, “If you want to become more optimistic and engage in more positive thinking, first identify areas of your life that you usually think negatively about, whether it's work, your daily commute or a relationship. You can start small by focusing on one area to approach in a more positive way” (Positive thinking). In order to stay positive the person needs to know they can get over the challenges, “One fundamental attitude is to presume that all problems can be solved and we possess in us the ability to solve the problem in hand. Adopting such an attitude, we would explore all resources and go the extra mile to get things done” (Yew). It is possible to stay positive when conditions are not running…

    People’s health can be affected by a positive attitude because if they are sad all the time they have little to look forward to in the future. Even doctors agree that people who look at the bright side of things could potentially survive longer. In fact, “Research has found a link between an upbeat mental state and improved health, including lower blood pressure, reduced risk for heart disease, healthier weight, better blood sugar levels, and longer life” (US Department of Health and Human Services). Having a positive attitude is good for people dealing with everyday life stressors. For people in more difficult situations, remaining optimistic can be even more beneficial. Other Experts disagree with the importance of positive thinking. For example, in “The Positive Power of Negative Thinking”, the author states, “Defensive Pessimism involves learning to tolerate negative emotions in order to get things done” (Norem). She says that positive thinking is actually a hinderance to actually dealing with problems. The concern being that action not thoughts change situations. Dr. Norem states that “Defensive pessimism involves learning to tolerate negative emotions in order to get things…

    The abilities an individual possesses are an accumulation of their previous life experiences and the various competences which have been practiced for many years. Often times, these skills are overlooked and taken for granted as we never actually think about them in terms of their effect on our potential career choices. After thinking about my personal skills, I compiled a list which included; communication, cooperation, patience, listening, helping others and perseverance; all skills which I have possessed for majority of my lifetime and have used to overcome many challenges. One example in particular which required me to draw on many of these skills, was fairly recently; I am a dance instructor for children ages four to seven and there was a young boy who joined the class later than the rest of the students. I noticed that he was struggling…

    Peer College Counselor

    Another significant trait of mine is that I am extremely personable and exceptionally easy to talk to. Whenever any of my friends have problems, whether it be in school, home life, or socially, I pride myself on the fact that I am fully capable of being there for them in their time of need. For instance, my sister had recently broken up with her boyfriend of over three years, and she was hysteric. She wouldn't smile, laugh, or even leave the house for at least a week. Everyday, I would clear my schedule just to be with her, sit with her, and talk with her. I let her express every emotion and concern she was feeling, and, most importantly, I gave her the opportunity to speak freely. After that period, she couldn't stop thanking me for being there for her and being so easy to talk to. I believe this trait will be crucial in being a peer college counselor because, no matter what my peers will need, I know that I will be there for them.…
