My Strengths
1. I am very organised. I keep a timetable and diary so I am aware of my deadlines.
2. I am very good at planning and writing reports. This was a key essential in my college course seeing as it was 90% coursework based and all practical work had to be evaluated.
3. I am a good analyst. This means I can interpret information and use it to back up my own ideas.
4. I am able to set realistic goals and stick to them. This was another key essential which I learnt throughout secondary school and college which enabled me to perform to the best of my ability.
My Weaknesses
1. I have a low self-esteem and I am often too critical of my own work. This often has a negative effect on my performance because with a negative mentality, I tend to perform worse.
2. I tend to keep my problems to myself. Often if things are left unsaid, they build up and demotivate me.
3. I tend to end up in arguments when working in a group, especially if there are uncooperative members. This frustrates me because it affects my learning, meaning that I often do more than my share of the workload, which could give other team players a disadvantage.
Opportunities In University
1. I get the chance to meet new people from different backgrounds.
2. I get to learn more about myself and better myself as a person.
3. I get the chance to learn more about my favourite field of study.
4. I get the chance to improve my knowledge in fields of study I have only briefly covered in the past.
Threats to my Education In University
1. Illness - I tend to catch illnesses more often/worse than others.
2. Money problems - I have to budget and keep an eye on my spending, otherwise I may end up in a lot of debt which I will not be able to clear.
3. Issues with public transport - If the public transport is delayed, it could result in my becoming late for lectures and therefore not benefitting as much from them.

I think that you are a high achiever and that is why you presume that you have low self esteem - it is just that you drive yourself and expect perfection. Do be careful with this - all work and not play.......! Sometimes it is difficult for high achievers to 'find closure' when undertaking work - something I think you may have to be aware of when working to a deadline.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Jo...
ReplyDeleteFrom past experiences through college we had an awful amount of coursework to do - sometimes we had 2 deadlines in a week and honestly we would all sit on MSN together on webchat and help each other out with our reports... ALL night! Sometimes we didn't even go to bed. Very stressful however I did get some good grades out of it in the end :)
I find I can perform better under stress.
