What have you discovered in yourself? kyla_claveria https://padlet.com/kyla_claveria/q7zm8nuao2a3/wish/237251058 - I have discovered that I may be an anxious and pessimistic person towards myself but when it comes to other people, I try my best to help, to cheer them up, encourage them and listen to them. 

I also discovered that art (writing, drawing, singing) is something that I really love to do - I highly believe that it helps me bring out my thoughts and my imagination.]]> 2018-03-02 01:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kyla_claveria/q7zm8nuao2a3/wish/237251058 2.) What are your core strengths? kyla_claveria https://padlet.com/kyla_claveria/q7zm8nuao2a3/wish/237257114 - My core strengths as a person are I guess me being artistically inclined and being good at writing (according to some people at least). Also, I would consider me wanting to contribute to work a core strength, even though I may not be the smartest person out there. ]]> 2018-03-02 02:15:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kyla_claveria/q7zm8nuao2a3/wish/237257114 3.) What do you consider as your weaknesses, abilities and talents? kyla_claveria https://padlet.com/kyla_claveria/q7zm8nuao2a3/wish/237257658 - I consider my anxiety, pessimistic attitude and shyness a weakness because it tends to bring me down a lot which drags me away from positive thoughts and it tends to drag me away from the thought of trying something new, fun and feeling that once in a lifetime experience at times.

As for abilities and talents, I wouldn't consider myself extraordinary nor good at these but I really do love art. I like to draw, to write, to paint and to sing. ]]> 2018-03-02 02:19:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kyla_claveria/q7zm8nuao2a3/wish/237257658 4.) What are the remedies you will take to improve or compensate for your weakness? kyla_claveria https://padlet.com/kyla_claveria/q7zm8nuao2a3/wish/237257796  - Having anxiety and being pessimistic towards myself is hard. Seeking help and surrounding myself with trustworthy, genuinely caring/loving people is somehow a good remedy for me because I get to surround myself with positivity and get good support and love from them.

Crying tends to be a good remedy at times, when things go overboard, to be honest. I may seek help from my friends when anxiety attacks yet I don't share every problem I have because I don't like being a bother or a weight on their shoulders. To me, usually their love, care and support is enough. I keep most of my problems to myself which isn't good, according to them and I know that. And when things get too much for me to handle - I cry it out. To me, in a way, it's a good stress reliever. 

This year, so far I haven't been handling things well. My friends know that. But I really want to try and improve myself when it comes to self love. Because I lack so much in that category. I drag myself down, I don't accept compliments very well, I question/doubt myself a lot and I'm so insecure about myself.

I want to improve myself as a whole. It's such a hard journey, especially since I'm only starting this year and it's not going as well as I wished it was but I hope that by the end of 2018, a very small improvement would mean the world to me.

How can you further enrich your qualities, assets and strengths? kyla_claveria https://padlet.com/kyla_claveria/q7zm8nuao2a3/wish/237257984 - I can further enhance my qualities by practicing often and learning new techniques, implementing them to my work. ]]> 2018-03-02 02:22:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kyla_claveria/q7zm8nuao2a3/wish/237257984 6.) Where and how do you use it to your best advantage? kyla_claveria https://padlet.com/kyla_claveria/q7zm8nuao2a3/wish/237258021 - I have people around me who are excellent at their work. I have my dad to seek help and learn from when it comes to life and programming. I have our choir director to teach me how to become better with singing and my choir members to teach me how to be a better choir leader. I have my family and friends to support me with my hobbies and future career. 

I would say I use them every now and then since I'm still working on the courage of being more confident.]]> 2018-03-02 02:22:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kyla_claveria/q7zm8nuao2a3/wish/237258021 kyla_claveria https://padlet.com/kyla_claveria/q7zm8nuao2a3/wish/237261661 2018-03-02 02:43:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kyla_claveria/q7zm8nuao2a3/wish/237261661 kyla_claveria https://padlet.com/kyla_claveria/q7zm8nuao2a3/wish/237261707 2018-03-02 02:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kyla_claveria/q7zm8nuao2a3/wish/237261707 kyla_claveria https://padlet.com/kyla_claveria/q7zm8nuao2a3/wish/237262244 2018-03-02 02:47:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kyla_claveria/q7zm8nuao2a3/wish/237262244 kyla_claveria https://padlet.com/kyla_claveria/q7zm8nuao2a3/wish/237263226 2018-03-02 02:53:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kyla_claveria/q7zm8nuao2a3/wish/237263226
