common sense to devise solutions to immediate problems and provide practical help to

other people. Most of my decisions are based on my personal feelings and experiences, so

I may not foresee the more logical consequences of my actions.

3. List two strengths indicated on your report. Give an example from your

life that demonstrates that these qualities are strengths.

Two strengths are curiosity, will ask questions and enjoy being busy.

I picked these two strengths to talk about out of all of the other strengths

because I think they are more common to my daily life. I say curiosity is my

big strength because I was always taught that if you were to ask questions, it

shows you're interested and you want to excel. The other strength that

demonstrates me is staying busy and never lacking or sitting there doing

nothing because then I feel helpless and I don’t like feeling that way.
