Career Plan
Since I was a child, I have always dreamt of being rich; having so much money I could be a bank, a mansion to live in, and an abundance of cars to drive. However, as I grew older, I quickly realized that my dreams and aspirations are directly correlated to my ambition, drive and motivation to obtain them.
In recent years, I’ve been dedicating myself to my academics in hopes of achieving a better paying job later in life. My career dream career path is in the Health Care Industry, specifically as a CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse of Anesthetics). The career path I am currently working towards obtaining my degree in is in the Accounting Industry. I would like to use my Business Degree to work as an accountant for Ernst & Young. One of the rationale for choosing two careers on opposite ends of the spectrum is to diversify my options. Secondly, if for some odd reason I do not enjoy working as a Registered Nurse, I have another career to lean on which would be accounting.
There are many skills and characteristics one can possess but not everyone has the same qualities. Some of the most admiral qualities I possess are ambition, dedication, and diligence. My ambition’s backbone is my family. All the dedication I put in to my work and studies derive from the need to please and support my family.
On the other end, my weaknesses consist of spending my time improperly and being too critical of myself. Instead of reading or studying for my class, I sometimes procrastinate and wait it until the last minute when I am in a time crunch. The weakness that I am too critical of myself can be detrimental to my success. For example, when I was transferring with a G.P.A. of 3.9, I thought I could have done better and kept badgering myself about not getting a 4.0 G.P.A. This self-criticism affects me because I cannot actualize my goals. Instead I nitpick at minor things or try to determine where, how, or what I could have done to have had better results.

    The only weakness I have is adapting to change. I never knew I had this kind of trouble in life, but I learned about something I have to work on. After analyzing it I realize it is a problem. Because I get nervous when I start something new or when I get stuck doing something I cannot do, I start to get frustrated. After learning this about myself, I need to work on making my weakness into strength by adapting to any type of changes in my life. My strengths included following instructions and adhering to values. I am very good when I have instructions in front of me as I build something new or when I have an assignment. Following instructions is my biggest strength in my life because it is something I use every day. Adhering to values is something new that I learned about myself just because I never noticed it in my life. I am the type of person who will stand by the truth in every situation around my.…

    One of my huge weaknesses is low self-esteem and confidence (Bethel University, 2014). Having this as a poor skill in life makes a lot of the other skills hard to conquer. I think if I had a higher confidence level then maybe I wouldn’t struggle so much with public speaking, management of people and seeking support from others. I don’t give myself enough credit and I am hard on myself. Another weakness that I struggle with is the ability to focus on one thing at a time. I have struggled with this quality as far back as I can remember. My mind is always racing and trying to complete more than more thing at a time.…

    o What are your strengths and weaknesses? My strengths are analyzing problems, and doing well through research. ,I tend to think through things and am able to solve a situation through past experiences and use good reason with intuition and imagination, which are all good qualities. I have self - knowledge and can balance responsibility with entrepreneurship. I am self- reliant and expect the same in return. I have wisdom and insight to situations and a great imagination as well. My weaknesses tend to be that I require people to do things my way to be the right way, in which I guess I have always had this outlook.

    “Success is achieved by development of our strengths, not by elimination of our weakness.” We all have our strengths and weaknesses, most of us have a problem acknowledging our weaknesses versus strengths. With our weaknesses, we tend to ignore them off for a length of time, or put them on the back burner. It is possible to make a difference in one’s weaknesses, it is not an easy task but eventually with motivation, one will succeed.…

    My weaknesses are really the same, regardless of if it as a learner or a personal one. I am not always considerate of others, especially when I should be. I also can have a problem putting things off when they should really be a priority. These things add up to describe how it is hard for me to always be aware of myself. I am hoping that by starting off the year at a good pace, I will be able to stick with completing my assignments early.…

    Not too long ago, the dream to me was being successful, which means having money. I figured, in order to be successful, money and wealth were not only necessary, but the primary factor. That isn’t too far from society’s classic version, which relies on money for each step of the path; school, a house, kids, etc. As I grew however, so did my view on the American Dream. My own version has become more realistic as I have become not only more knowledgeable about what I truly need, but also about what I truly want and what could make me happy. Although money and having financial success is helpful in creating a comfortable life without having to worry about debt, living a healthy and fulfilled life should be all that matters to one’s dream, not materialistic things like houses and…

    My strengths and weaknesses have changed since the beginning of the year. One thing that did not change was my ability to work under pressure. I learned that I write best when I have the pressure of the essay being due soon. This can be a double-edge sword since it causes me to write fewer words in a week than in one day before the assignment is due. Because of this, I generate fake deadlines to speed up my writing process. I discovered a weakness of not being able to write down the words onto the paper; using a mentally placed deadline, I have no other option than to just throw the words onto the paper. Also, another weakness of mine…

    Unfortunately, weaknesses are a challenge I do not cope with very well, especially in a scholastic setting. I was unaware of my writing weakness until English II displayed it in black and white. Furthermore, a considerable obstacle I found tough to overcome was confidence. Before turning in a test, a paper, or a project, I often underestimate myself in performing the task set before me. However, the results I receive constantly prove that I am capable of quality work. When my instructor assigned the first paper, I immediately began to focus all my efforts toward the assignment. After completing and submitting the paper, I patiently waited for the results. Not only did I earn a perfect score, I also received comments from my instructor stating how she admired…
