My Intellectual Autobiography

Life and practice will force someone to shift from the old to the newly acquired

self. In my case, real changes came. I was more of an introvert but never shy and afraid

of speaking in public or in front of a huge audience. My character has changed during

my college life due to the school requirements and assignments. I educated also to

provide presentations on certain learned things.

And later on, it will developed after I graduated in college and became a media

practitioner. It meant that I had to upscale my speaking abilities and to change my quiet

nature. One day, I was required to ask a question to the politician during his press

conference with a big audience, which I just do away. And because of that, it motivates

myself to pursue my study in short to enroll in the graduate school in order to develop

my capacity and ability not only in teaching someday but also in my job as of this

moment.

Moreover, I would like to research on how to avoid teenage pregnancy because

nowadays the population of teenage pregnancy was rising and it will affect their learning

because they can stop their study. In this case, I think our youth is in need to guide their
parents and to educate them about the effects of teenage pregnancy in their studies

because usually among young people abandoned by their parents.

I believe that life is a learning experience and being able to recognize our own

strengths and weaknesses can help us become better individuals in anything we choose

to do, whether it is positive abilities and skills that can help achieve our goals or negative

personal areas that need improvement. Knowing yourself and what you can do, can help

you recognize and overcome your weaknesses.

One of my greatest strengths at work that I have recognized would have to be my

ability to be a well-organized individual. I tend to write what I have to do down on paper

and prioritize what is more important to least important. In doing this, it helps me organize

and accomplish my work and meet deadlines that are important. In short, I am good at

what I do however, I do have weaknesses that I have to overcome and improve. My

personal weaknesses is time management. This is a weakness that I have had to

struggle ever since. I always feel that there’s not enough time to accomplish my tasks

whether it is work related or assignments for school.
