Personal Statement John Walker

Career Explorations 2
Lesson 14

I believe that my greatest skill is discipline. In my opinion, discipline is one of the best
and most uncommon skills that only some people possess. It could be used in any situation like
waking up early or showing up to work on time. Discipline is frequently used throughout my life.
I use discipline to get through hard changes and challenges that I may face.

Throughout my life I have used discipline to help me go through what I do on a daily

basis. I use it to wake up early, go to sleep on time, workout, and stay productive throughout the
day. I also use discipline to help me work towards my goals and ambitions. I do this by
motivating myself to work harder. I also use discipline to help me grow my confidence.

I developed discipline by forcing myself to put in the effort when I am feeling

unmotivated. I continue to develop my discipline by keeping myself and my surroundings
organized. Discipline has helped me stay mentally strong and confident when dealing with
certain problems. I continue to enhance my discipline everyday by doing things that are out of
my comfort zone.

I plan to use discipline after I graduate from high school. This is because I am enlisting
into the military. The military is a stressful job that requires discipline and mental strength to get
past the rigorous problems that I may face. I also plan to use discipline to get through other
problems and stressful situations that I may face throughout my life. Discipline is also a great
tool for preparing myself when going through changes in life.

Discipline is one of the best skills I have. I’ve used it throughout my life from waking up
early to working out. Discipline also changed my life and bad habits by giving me the motivation
and confidence to work towards anything. With discipline, I could reach my goals and ambitions
much faster. I also found that discipline helped me control my life by allowing me the chance to
do what I want without struggling and feeling anxious.
