Personal Strengths

I am a Georgia Southern Alum and I am cureently doing post-baccalaureate to boost my undergrad GPA. One of the classes I am taking in Professional Development and we had to take a Emotionl Intelligence test and it really helped me by putting me in terms with my strengths and weaknesses. A couple of my strengths are organizing things and being Independent without being too independent. Basically that means I can do things for the most par on my own and I am more of a leader. However, I also allow myself to take negative criticism in a positive way and I also accept that I am not perfect and allow others to teach me things I do not know. My weaknesses included things like being Asserrtive and Outspoken. I am not that Assertive when it comes
My personal goals include working hard to do whatever it takes to reachall of my professional goals, make time to study hard and still have time to exercise, and lastly work on my Confidence. My professional goal is to become a lawyer and eventually a judge. Attending Mercer Law School could help me achieve my goals because they offer a variety of classes that will not only help me boost my confidence but also help me strengthen my other skills and weaknesses that way I could become a great lawyer. I can offer Mercer my down right dedication to not take their help in vein.

I ended up getting my money but the bookstore ran out of books and ended up ordering mine while I tried to use another classmate’s book. Long story short I ended up on academic probation because it was hard for me to play catch up that semester. Being that I have a large, extended family, I lost numerous of close people along the way. The biggest hit of my life and college year was my senior year when my brother got hit by a car and was in ICU. It was the same time span that I found out my mom had cancer and so did my granddaddy. I took a big toll on my senior year of college but instead of quitting and coming back I decided to work through it. I stand proud to say that I was a non-profit math tutor, I
