My Character Strengths


"What character strengths do you have that will help you with this thesis project?


I'm about to hate writing this, because I hate talking about myself like that, but here we go.
I'm also going to try to make this fun for myself, because it's 10:30 so work with me

Zest: I've actually recently being showing this, especially for honors seminar. As I was writing my English paper earlier I told my mom, "I'm getting excited about writing my thesis, because this is only 5 pages but I have so much information and it's really easy"

Grit: I would consider myself to have a worthy amount of grit. I think my brothers helped instill this into me, because they work so hard and all they do is work so when I don't I feel bad and I feel like I should be working on something too.

Self-control: This varies for me. With work I can control myself. I know that if I have a lot of work to do I can't go hang out with people. I do lack self-control in some areas though, I try to rationalize situations.

Creativity: Well uh... I wouldn't consider myself a very creative person (despite what my birthstone says) but sometimes I can come up with really good ideas.

Curiosity: I've definitely developed this trait over the course of this year. I'm more interested in new and different things and finding out about what else is out in the world along with other global problems.

Open-mindedness: I tend to jump to a lot of conclusions.... we'll leave it at that.

Love of Learning: This also varies for me. I feel like it kind of goes hand in hand with curiosity. If you love being curious then you love learning...

Bravery: I'm not the bravest person I know, but I've been trying to take on new challenges. HOLD UP I have been quite the brave one this year. This year I have done so many things out of my comfort zone: learning the saxophone, school cheer, powerlifting! trying out for all-parish band, honors seminar, E-STAAR, need I go on?

Well those are the traits I think most apply to the thesis process.
Yay!
"And to all a goodnight"
