~Strengths~
I think music is one of my biggest strengths because it is my passion in life. I try my hardest in anything music related. I have had many events where I play solos and ensembles. I have gotten two golds and a silver in band and a gold and silver in choir on competition solos, and a gold in two choir ensembles. I love competing in marching band and statewide music events. I think music is a major skill and strength I have. Below is a picture of my marching band show Lost At Sea.
Another strength is intelligence. Though I don't like to "brag" about being smart or gifted in academics, I see it as a major plus in school. I can use it to do just about anything I want to in life. I think that it will be a big plus for me in the future. I was on the science academic team and am hoping to pursue a career in something science related such as engineering.
The last thing that I consider a strength is theatre. I don't know exactly if I'm a good actress or not, but I think that theatre is a strong suit for me. I like singing and just being on stage in general. I just finished my last show until I get to high school. I'm so sad that I have to leave a lot of my friends, but like goes on, doesn't it?
~weaknesses~
One of my biggest weaknesses is vulnerability. I am a pretty trusting person if you ask me, but recently there have been a lot of people who have defied that trust. These people see my vulnerability and use it against me in many aspects of my life. I always like to give people chances, but once you ruin it, it's over.
Another weakness that is pertinent in my life is not talking about my feelings. (Shell says so at least) I don't really like talking to people about my issues and sometimes that isn't the best thing, but it's what I choose to do. I don't exactly like telling people everything about my life directly. Maybe that's bad, maybe it isn't.
The last major weakness I will talk about is being extremely critical of myself. I always overthink everything I do and feel in my life. I always say that I don't do good enough even if I get a perfect grade. I feel as if no one is perfect, but we can be close. Usually I don't think I am even relatively close to being perfect, even if I am. Being overly critical isn't always bad, but it's not always good either.
