Assignment: My Three Greatest Strength Essay

My Three Greatest Strengths

Years ago, a good friend said to me, “Donna you are my mentor.” I could only smile, because I wasn’t sure what the word meant. Or maybe, I should say, me? I had to find my old dusty dictionary and look up the word Mentor. I knew the meaning , but never thought someone would say it to me, especially someone older than myself. The next time I saw her, I thanked her for the compliment and said to her, I never thought of myself as something special.
She gave me a warm smile and said to me, “That’s your human nature. My three greatest strengths are Christianity, being Thifty and been a Good Cook.
My first greatest strength is Christianity. I love going to church. The fellowshipping and social gathering that I have with my friends and fellow church members is always a memorable time. Being part of the senior mission and being a matron for the drill team takes a lot of my time. There is always something going on at the church, either children or adult ministries, therefore volunteering is always in demand. I volunteer a lot besides the two ministries that I am a part of.
My second greatest strength is being a thrifty person. I guess that comes from growing up in a big household. I’m glad I am that way, because there is so many unnessary thing that a woman buys, such as having fifty pair of high heel shoes, or a hat to go with every suit. Having several suits, in every color. Wastefulness is one thing I see a lot of in the twenty first century. Now that I’ve retired my thriftiness has really paid off.
My third greatest strength is being a good cook. Being a good cook has taken years and years to conquer. As a newlywed, I use to call my mother on every meal, asking her how to cook different dishes. She always gave me the ingredients, but the measurements was difficult for me to understand. Her

    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.…

    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…

    After completing the StregthsQuest survey, I learned that my five greatest strengths are Harmony, Competition, Achiever, Includer, and Communication. Some of these strengths I had previously recognized as a strength, but a few were a surprise to me. Growing up, I was always a competitive person. I enjoyed the thrill of winning, whether it be in a team effort or individual effort. Also, I have always wanted to achieve great things in both my personal and professional life. I believe that I have always been great at communicating with others and love to include others in everything that I do to achieve a goal. The biggest strength of mine that surprised me most was Harmony. However, after reading about each strength, I know how I have utilized…

    I find that my strengths include achievement motivation,school engagement, and reading for pleasure. I'm strong in these areas because I'm a naturally competitive person and find the need to compete with myself to do better then how I did before. My school engagement is because I have a natural interest and enthusiasm for learning new topics. Reading is a strength because it helps me understand people better, it allows me to look into the world and mind of someone new and get and understanding of why they are doing what they are doing. Although I hold these strengths I am most definitely not a perfect…

    I would say a strength of mine is assessment; I feel comfortable with each component and am continuing to get better with every clinic and patient experience. I can probe a patient with 100% accuracy and am confident in what I am doing, which led me to receiving 100% on my skill evaluation for probe technique. I was also able to complete dental charting on all my patients correctly and without help. Last term I had a difficult time distinguishing between a composite and an older sealant; however, this term I have figured out how to distinguish the two. Another area I feel is a strong point for me is professionalism. Despite the fact that I…
