My greatest strengths involve communication. In the kitchen, it's all about making sure you and your co-workers are communicating properly and efficiently. With my leadership experience over the years, I have worked with many different people in many different situations. Each time, they involved communicating with others first and foremost. I am not afraid to work with different people and vocalize my own ideas as well.

# data[].attributes.body
"My greatest strength is being a team player and being detailed-oriented. With my current knowledge in the kitchen, I know that working in a team and meticulosity is very important. Whenever I'm in a group tasked to create a project, I like to understand everyones goals and find ways to fulfill them while also encouraging the team. Whenever I have a certain task to do for the team, I like to make sure to do it in the best of my ability, making sure I ask questions and feedback for improvement."

# data[].attributes.body
My greatest strength is how easily I can get along with others. I have met all kinds of people with different personalities and I have always been able to efficiently work and communicate effectively with them. Whenever I am in a group situation, I can easily adapt to the group I am in to provide the best results.

# data[].attributes.body
My greatest strength is my ability to speak confidently. One example that pops up into my head was when I recently had to do a group presentation for Prostart. The presentation was about making a healthy school lunch menu. After the presentation was over I got high remarks from the guest listeners; those guest were other Prostart GCC instructors.

# data[].attributes.body
My greatest strength is collaboration. I believe that team work is very important in the kitchen, and in any work field in general, as it shows how collaborative and reliable you are. I'm able to work efficiently and get tasks done, whether it be solo or with a team.

# data[].attributes.body
Two of the greatest aspects I possess is detail-orientation and adaptability. Volunteering in the LIFE Teen Expo as the front-of-house allowed me to readjust multiple times to the busy and unpredictable situations, and additionally, I collaborated with many diversified people. I find refining tiny details significant as they make up the overall quality of the product.

My greatest strength roots down to being a team player. I am able to get along with others and adapt quickly to new environments. Being a team player means I am able to be collaborative and influence others. I have experience as an
executive member  in student council where collaboration and working under pressure is required.

# data[].attributes.body
My greatest strength is being able to work efficiently with others.

That same year, my partner and I also won third place in our class period for our program's "Cupcake Wars."

Two of my greatest strengths, I believe, would be my ambition to succeed and my leadership. These two strengths are what best defines myself as an individual.

# data[].attributes.body
"My greatest weakness has to be lacking confidence. Being someone who's meticulous, I sometimes tend to set high expectations for myself, which can lead to so much anxiety about performance. I ended up enrolling into Upward Bound which helped me a lot with building my confidence and knowing that the things I do was at the best of my ability. As a result, it changed the way I speak to others and deliver presentations in a positive way."

# data[].attributes.body
My greatest strength is my versatility, I have the ability to adapt to many different tasks I’m assigned. Which the kitchen contains many different roles that need to be fulfilled, so I know being able to immediately adapt to a new environment and get the task done will be a huge factor in the kitchen.

# data[].attributes.body
Trying to get everything done and sometimes overloading my load of work in the end. But I’m working on management as a whole and getting it all properly ordered so I don’t overload myself.

# data[].attributes.body
I have a lot to offer in my arsenal as the team player in the crew. I’m able to move efficiently and affectively through and under pressure.

I’m a problem solver, quick thinker, I’m able to communicate with customers and to be able to please them with satisfaction. And with that being said I am best suited for your establishment with me being hardworking, efficient, problem solver, and good hospitality.

# data[].attributes.body
my greatest weakness has to be that I don't like to challenge myself and that I'll try my best to always take the easy out however I have took AP English which has made me comfortable with challenging myself and with difficult situations.

# data[].attributes.body
My greatest weakness would be putting others before myself that resulted in me not having enough time for myself and the lack of confidence in situation I am not familiar of. Some solutions that I come up with is trying to help others to the extent that I am not harming or exerting myself. The lack of confidence comes from not giving myself time to actually fix problems that I have at the moment.

# data[].attributes.body
My greatest strengths actually grew from overcoming my greatest weakness, which was social anxiety. I definitely still do have anxiety, but I now have a better grasp on how I can overcome it. At the beginning of my highschool experience, I've always had trouble speaking up and working with others. I was too self conscious about what others thought about me. To fix this, I joined clubs and organizations. Forcing myself to work with different people in different situations helped grow my own voice. I ended up becoming so vocal that others would tell me to settle down in class, which was such a huge contrast from before.

# data[].attributes.body
My greatest weakness is with taking advantage of given opportunities. I tend to shy away in fear that I will fail or become too self conscious. However, joining various clubs has given me the upper hand in being able to express myself. I was able to grow out of my pessimistic habits and now think about how opportunities will be learning experiences that'll
lead me closer to what I believe is successful.

# data[].attributes.body
One of my greatest weaknesses is procrastination. I used to have poor time-management skills. However, I'm overcoming that weakness by planning tasks I have to do ahead of time, and doing them before the due date. I've definitely gotten better at managing my time and being efficient.

# data[].attributes.body
My greatest weakness was how I tended to overthink. Whether it was a test question, a presentation, a competition, etc., I would always overthink things and be pessimistic. One method of resolving that was actually being thrown head-first into a difficult task, which most of the time was presenting to important audiences. Everytime I was forced to do something difficult, all of the pressure slowly went away. When I started to actually do the difficult task, I would realize that everything was okay. As a result, I've become more confident in myself and I now know that as long as I try my best, everything is okay.

# data[].attributes.body
My greatest weakness would be having low confidence in myself. I still have low confidence when sharing my ideas with others that can benefit any project, assignment, etc. The way I handle my greatest weakness is disciplining myself that I can do it.

# data[].attributes.body
My greatest weakness is procrastination. I would wait a few days before the due date to do my work but to overcome this weakness I am trying to organize my work by priority so I am not bombarded with everything all in one day.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I used to struggle with was being overwhelmed when working under pressure. However, as I kept working in the kitchen in the Prostart program, I was able to overcome this problem. I have not completely overcome it, but I am definitely working on it and finding ways to improve myself.

# data[].attributes.body
My greatest weaknesses would be my mindset and my self-discipline. I have realized that I struggle with thinking too much about something whether it'd be a test, presentation,  being somewhere that is new to me, and even thinking a lot about myself, how I am, what I'm doing, etc. My weakness dealing with self-discipline is best explained as my inability to know when to say something! I am known as one that isn't too open and is always there when someone needs me. I believe I need to discipline myself in terms of when to say No, when to speak up, how to set my priorities without worrying about accommodating everyone, and so much more. Despite these weaknesses, I will continue to work on trying to improve, alongside being open to any constructive feedback that would help me in whatever way possible.

# data[].attributes.body
Although the greatest weakness I possess is obsessing over insignificant matters, I'm setting my mentality to avoid overthinking by simply letting things go and focusing on the problem at hand. At the end of everyday, I set aside time to journal for self-reflection and learn mindfulness skills like meditation.

# data[].attributes.body
One of my greatest weakness is my fear of talking and meeting new people. I’ve been striving to improve this area by putting myself out there and joining clubs and organizations that require me to talk to people in each situation I am faced.

# data[].attributes.body
How I would handle difficult situations would be to first understand what exactly is going on, how it started, and the next steps to proceed to solve it. Depending on the situation, there are different ways to approach the overall picture. I believe the two important things to have when doing so would be communication and patience. The goal when solving a situation is to have everything settled and each party leaving happy and/or calm.

# data[].attributes.body
When I handle difficult situations I would usually analyze what was going on, find out what caused the situation to uprise and how to fix them. On any project occasion there are some situations that are needed to be solved right away. In the program's "Cupcake Wars" my partner and I had complications over our significant elements for our dessert. In the end we were able to present our cupcakes with creativity and analyzation.

# data[].attributes.body
How I would handle difficult situations is first find the cause of the situation and then develop a plan, potential ways to deal with the problem. Dont be afraid to seek help when necessary. Focus on what you can do or change, and always keep your feelings and thoughts in check.

# data[].attributes.body
How I resolve difficult situations begins with remaining calm and collected. I analyze the situation and ask any questions with matters I'm not sure of. After studying the cause of the situation, proposing possible solutions would be the best move. And most importantly, never take the situation personally; this means to keep your thoughts and feelings aside.
