Since I was a kid I have always learned how to speak and write in english and spanish. Over the years I have been able to improve my pronunciation and I have been able to enrich my vocabulary. I am not quite sure but I think that the first time I realised that my language was one of my strengths was in 6th grade.
How does it feel to have this strength? It feels pretty good. I like knowing two different languages, it makes me feel more knowledgeable and it helps me with my communication skills.
How do you use this strength in your life? As I said before I love to travel so whenever I am in another country that doesn't speak spanish I can use my knowledge in the english language to communicate with other people. I also use this strength to communicate with people around the world in social media.

I first realized it was a strength not so long ago. I thought about how I am always motivating, myself especially, to try things. Sometimes these things take lots of effort and time, but I try to keep myself motivated along the way.
How does it feel to have this strength?
It feels really good to have this strength since it is the main thing that helps me keep pushing forward and to not be let down when things don't go my way. This strength also helps me be more creative. When things don't go my way, I am obliged to think of a creative solution. It also helps me to keep myself positive and it a good mood.
How do you use this strength in your life?
Well, this strength I use almost all the time cause without motivation it is really hard to do anything that you maybe aren't that excited to do. Plus, motivation is what helps me keep trying harder and helps me to be better. Also, it helps me with all the things I mentioned in the previous question.

]]> 2020-10-30 11:49:37 UTC https://padlet.com/benadavies/z879lltoefgc3p88/wish/876028333 Strengths: Hardworking and critical thinking https://padlet.com/benadavies/z879lltoefgc3p88/wish/876183855
When did you first realise it is a strength?
  • I think that I always knew I possessed these strengths, but never realised their power. During this week especially I started to think backwards, to each different period of my life, and how slowly I am becoming the woman I will be in the future. That guided me pointing out the positive results, conquered by having presented these original strengths.
 How does it feel to have this strength?
  • I feel fortunate and happy about having them. Being hard working brought to my life negative and positive aspects. On one hand, I always eventually achieve my goals after tiring work. But, that does not take the fact of the annoyance of being constantly self pressured by me and my demanding personality. Anyways, being looking forward and open minded improved my way of thinking and doing things, it gave me a lot of more possibilities, by accepting people and situations. 
 How do you use this strength in your life?
  • In many ways and situations, from school activities to personal life problems. After centuries of narrow minded societies, full of not diverse habitants, we "millennials" modernized and completely changed the way of thinking and expression of people. In the past, silence was normal, and today making a whole revolution of eliminating irrational thought is what needs to be done. We make things our way, a better one. The messages people transmitted to me as a kid, helped me purify my strength of critical  thinking and being open minded. That made me wiser, and I could use my voice to arrive to others, such as my parents and other grown ups. Thanks to this strength in many individuals, people that are different or do not match the nonsense "stereotype" assigned by humans, are accepted in society equally, without the emotional damage or discrimination against someone.  
 
  • Hard work bears its fruit everyday, showing me that I can do better and be successful, performing this alone and independently. 

Alegra Pando.

When did you first realize it is a strength? I first realized in sports where I played with all I had to do the possible to win. After that I always had several goals that I achieved with hard work.

How does it feels to have this strength? I like it because it motivates me to think that with hard work I can get to were I want.

How do you use this strength in your life? I think it isn't a trait you could use anywhere you have to really want to get to your goal in order to fully hard work.
