I somewhat discovered that I am getting confident in what I am doing lately. Although not as confident as what my family expected me to be but it is a process. Aside from that, I honestly noticed on how cautious with my looks and on how I should matter in other's eyes. I kept telling myself that whatever others say it will not affect me because it's just their opinions but I do lie to myself. It matter to me to the point I would go out of my dislikes of being a "girly girl" just to be one and be somewhat accepted. It hurts, it breaks me but I am still debating if it is worth sacrificing.

2. What are your core strengths?
My core strengths are usually a people to people thing. Like, I care for others, I put them ahead than me (not necessarily). I have values and morals that I stand for but there are just some things worth getting my way around.  My kindness is meant for everyone, even though they might think they don't deserve it or if I think they don't deserve it but EVERYONE deserves to experience kindness at least once in their life.

3,  What do you consider as your weaknesses, abilities and talents?
I would say everything is my weakness. Since I may have the confidence I still am scared cause I grew up in an environment where perfection is the norm. It was a toxic environment and I wouldn't dare to speak out cause who am I to say, someone who can't be perfect is judged intensely. Difference was not accepted by them and being different is being shamed. Not until I transferred I have noticed on how everyone still accepts me even if I wasn't perfect. But the fear still tails behind me and implanted in my head. Ability wise, I am more of a comforter than and adviser to people. I don't sympathize but empathize others. I would openly tell my stories to them even though it does bring my 16 going 17 years to a shame, if it means making someone smile I would do it. Talents, I do have a knack for drawing my emotions or opinions about the situation. Although, I do like making stories but through role play. Sadly I like to role play by myself.

4.What are the remedies you will take to improve or compensate for your weakness?
To compensate with my fear, I would have to just be myself in front of everyone even though I might be judged badly but it is who I am and I fully accept it. For the trying to impress side, in the end I would give up doing so since I know it won't do me any good but just hurt me more so I will just let it slide off my shoulders.

5. How can you further enrich your qualities, assets and strengths?
I could enrich those by just being me. I know people will call me naive but honestly, the world hasn't been to kind to all of us it is just a matter that showing kindness to others may take effect to them hopefully. I know it will be a gamble but I like to take chances in making someone happy or smile or simply just make their day because of a small act of kindness.

6. Where and how do you use it to your best advantage?
In a working environment, I know it will not be easy to have this kind of quality because of the ruthless behaviors present but again, if it means making someone's day I would go for it. ]]> 2018-04-12 08:21:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jefeiyeh/e8fy0nbthcgy/wish/251037224 jefeiyeh https://padlet.com/jefeiyeh/e8fy0nbthcgy/wish/251045061 5 events I am grateful during my middle and late adolescence stage

1. Finding friends who would accept me for who I am with open arms both in Grade 9 and here in iACADEMY.

2. Having feelings returned by a current S.O. whom I met in a debate competition. (we went against each other and his team won, I got a little bitter but now looking back it is just funny.)

3. Going to Prom and Grad Ball in a same year. One as a friend and one as a date.

4. Finally patching some broken relationships with my family recently.

5. Learning to accept myself as who I am. (but still couldn't express it openly)]]> 2018-04-12 08:52:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jefeiyeh/e8fy0nbthcgy/wish/251045061 jefeiyeh https://padlet.com/jefeiyeh/e8fy0nbthcgy/wish/251179523 2018-04-12 14:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jefeiyeh/e8fy0nbthcgy/wish/251179523
