         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>1) What have you discovered in yourself?</strong></div><ul><li>I discovered that I don't know myself as well as I would like to, especially since when I asked my friends to describe me, I didn't expect any of what they told me.</li></ul><div><strong>2) What are your core strengths?</strong></div><ul><li>My core strength is my faith. I believe that everything that I am - both my strengths and my weaknesses - stem from Him and Him alone, and that I am nothing without God. And so, having my faith helps me stand tall no matter what life throws at me. In my banner, I mentioned some of my positive qualities and my achievements, and I believe that none of these would be possible if I didn't have my faith.</li></ul><div><strong>3) What do you consider as your weaknesses, abilities, and talents?</strong></div><ul><li>I have a lot of weaknesses - sports, visual arts, science, dance, emotional/mental strength - the list could go on and on. I do believe I'm good at math, photography, programming, and academics in general. </li></ul><div><strong>4) What are the remedies you will take to improve or compensate your weakness?</strong></div><ul><li>I'm a firm believer that as much as possible, we should use our time to triple down on our strengths instead of dwelling on our weaknesses, especially if these weaknesses are superficial or not something that is absolutely necessary for you to achieve your goals and be happy (like sports, dance, or arts, in my case). One of my weaknesses, emotional and mental strength, is something that I think is necessary though. In order to improve or compensate this, I think I should surround myself with positive people and prioritize my mental health. Besides this, of course, I lean to God for strength.</li></ul><div><strong>5) How can you further enrich your qualities, assets, and strengths? </strong></div><ul><li>To further enrich my assets and my strengths, I must continue to practice and basically just <em>do</em>. I must keep looking for ways to better myself because there's no such thing as a limit or a peak. I must surround myself with people who are better than me because that's the only way that I'm going to learn. As the saying goes, "If you're not the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room." As for my positive qualities, it's the same thing. I believe that I must surround myself with people that also possess these qualities - even better if they have a lot more other positive qualities - so I don't stray away from my values and ideals, and continue to grow as a person.</li></ul><div><strong>6) Where and how do you use it to your best advantage?</strong></div><ul><li>Most of my positive qualities have to do with other people, so they really help in building and maintaining healthy relationships with others. A lot of them also help me in growing as an individual and in excelling in my academics as well (since most of my life right now consists of school). As for my assets and strengths (math, photography, programming, etc.), aside from helping with getting good grades, I consider these as my hobbies so indulging in these makes me happy. And of course, last but definitely not the least, I use my positive qualities and my strengths all for His greater glory.</li></ul><div><br></div><div><br><br></div><div><strong><br></strong><br></div>]]></description>
