Strengthsfinder Assessment: My Experience In A Calculus Class

In the StrengthsFinder assessment, my results were Input, intellection, responsibility, context, and restorative. The results that describe the most are intellection and context, while restorative was the result I was surprised to get. Nevertheless, I believe my five talents are the perfect combination for my career as an accountant and my experience in a calculus class last semester just confirmed it. First of all, the results that described me the most were intellection and context. The intellection talent described me because I reflect a lot. In fact, the days I don’t have time to reflect are the ones I feel the most stressed. For me, reflecting is one of the most effective ways to relax and it gives me ease of mind when I
From an outside perspective, it seems like I am good at learning information and I am responsible. Nevertheless, let me refer you to a concrete and recent challenging experience from last semester. I was a new transfer and commuter student who was learning how to drive for the first time and had a part time job. I was also taking calculus for the first time in my life. The complicated part was that I had to pass that subject for me to transfer to the CBA. With all of this going on, I had limited time to complete the assignments and practices, and little to no time to get help from a tutor. In consequence, I got a D on my first test. I felt like I was in a corner between withdrawing the subject and withholding my transfer to the business school. There was also the option of passing the subject with a mediocre grade, but I could not even bear the thought of starting my studies at Pitt with low grades. I realized I had to make it work because if I postpone the course for the next semester, I would still have my part time job and I would still need to pass that course to be admitted into the business school. As a result, I decided to look for strategic ways to pass my tests with the limited time I had. While I was at my cleaning job, I came up with the idea of recording what went wrong in my tests and how I could improve it. It took me three horribly graded midterm tests before I took my final exam and passed it with a B+. Under normal circumstances, I only accept an A as a good grade, but given I was so overwhelmed with moving to a new city, learning how to drive, learning my way around campus, and holding a part time job, I considered that final grade a success. In solving this issue, I strenuously used my five talents. However, one of the talents that helped me persevere through this trial was responsibility. I wouldn’t blame anybody for quitting the subject or conforming to a
