Last week we identified our strengths and how those strengths will be useful in our leadership class. It is only fair and obvious that we identify our weaknesses. What is it that doesn't allow your strengths to shine? What trait is it that sometimes hold you back? What is it that does not allow you to give 110% in everything you do? Before you respond think about whether your weakness is something you can and are willing to work on. You will have an entire class to support you, but you have to be willing to work on your weakness.
So...
What is your weakness? How does it affect all areas of your life?
My weakness is that I am a control freak. I have a hard letting other people help me. I also like to be part of everything that may affect me.
ReplyDeleteThis affects my job as an ASB advisor because I tend to "take care" of my students and don't let them make mistakes. It also affects my family life because I have so much on my plate and I don't delegate responsibilities and I end up spending too much time at work and not enough time with my son and husband. Unfortunately I don't have any hobbies because of this.
My weakness is that I could be a lazy person. Sometimes on my long term assignment, I always wait till the last minute. This affects my grade and GPA, which all parents care about. And this could be a bad thing for my violin practice which is pretty expensive for a lesson. That's about it..LOL haha:)
ReplyDeleteMy weakness would be that I would sometimes br forgetful. I would remember to do something but the next moment I would completely forget what it was that I meant to remember. This affect my grade and most of the time it would annoy my parents. Like the time I forgot a projectathome and then I have to call my parents right before the bell rang off campus to get them to bring my project. I got a lecture on writing things down what I need to remember later that day. So sometimes I will forget some things like date, homework, even friends' birthday.
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is being easily distracted. When I really need to pay attention, I will/can, but my mind sometimes seems wandera away from the topic being discussed. This doesn't affect my life too much since I don't digress often (thank goodness), but you could say that it would be hard for me to study if my thoughts and mind deviate from the subject that's being focused on. Personally, I think I'm improving on this matter.
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is that I am sometimes not very talkative if I’m not with friends. In this case, it’s a bad thing since in leadership, I won’t be able to give out ideas. I’m too shy. An example is the committee I’m in, which is Spirit. Out of the six people, I’m the least talkative of them all. Being shy affects my grade because many of my teachers count participation as part of my grades. Also, it is harder for me to talk to people who I do not really know (like selling Smencils… I only sold five or six to strangers from my school, and the rest I sold to my friends).
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is probably that a I have way to much in my hands and I feel like if I don't keep in control, they will slip away. I have to make time. All thought it can be hard, I can still handle it but it might take me a while. Also, I can get pretty distracted over little things which makes my work even harder. I am working on improving myself on this matter and so far, it is working.
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is that I need everything or something I'm working on to be done in the way I like it. For example, if we were to draw something, then I'd want you to draw it my way not any other way cause I like things perfect. This weakness can effect my life by making things hard and if I continue to do this, then people will start to say I'm too bossy. A way that can help is that I can ask people to pitch ideas during a project or activity so that we can have everyone's say in it.
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is that I want everything I do to be as perfect as I can get it to be so I can stand out. This sometimes puts a lot of stress on my part because I feel that once I put a lot of effort on one project, everyone expects that effort to be reflected in everything I do. Of course I feel really bummed out if my hard work isn't recognized and my grade isn't as high as I had expected it to be. This makes me think that my best isn't good enough to make an impression. This weakness also leads to another weakness. I do try to be fair and listen to everyone's ideas if I'm in a group, but sometimes I think I can be a little pushy when I feel I have the right ideas especially since I'm an overacheiver. I don't know if this is a type of weakness that can exactly be improved by others, but I'll try my best to be more relaxed when doing any projects.
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is that im very forgetful. Like i have to write everything down so i can remind myself to do it or i'll forget about it and it'll make me seem that i failed.It'll affect me in the future because i might not have enough time to jot down everything and especially when im very busy and dont have the time to write everything down and it can really affect me.
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is that I usually tend to talk waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much. =) hahaha. I mean seriously. In leadership I don't talk nearly as much as I do as in my other classes. However, I do respect my teachers, but I get little work done. I also have very little patience, just like my mom. I have a lot of patience with little kids though. A good example of this is geometry. I have like absolutely no pacientce for geometry, then I get distracted. This is a bad thing because I later have quizzes and tests so I really get stressed out. I try my best to have the most patience as possible now, so I don't get bad grades.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that my weakness is that I'm too braggy. I think that I'm all that and no one else is perfect except me. Sometimes, I'm more humble but sometimes i shout and get mad since what everyone else does isn't "perfect". This affected my life since I don't study much for tests and sometimes get Bs or a C. But, everyone has weaknesses and everyone should try to correct them. I'll try...
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is I have a tendency to not listen to other people's ideas, but just stick to mine. In this case, it's a very bad thing. Due to this, when people I'm working with think of some idea sometimes I'll still persuade them to go my way. I can be listening to their ideas, but in my mid I'm just waiting for them to finish and still keep talking about my idea. This happens seldomly, it's usually when I think my idea is just the greatest, and everyone else should follow it.
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is that when i help someone, I help everybody else and it is hard for me to say no when someone needs help. I'm getting a little better at saying that I have my things to do, but still it's hard for me. Another weakness is that I also get distracted very easily so that i don't pay attention. So these two are my greatest weaknesses. I'm trying to improve on this but it is very hard for me.
ReplyDeleteDon’t ask me to hold anything fragile. My clumsiness has affected my life a lot because I’m always causing myself physical pain from falling or tripping over nothing. I am sometimes not trusted to hold things for other people because I forget I’m holding the object and drop it. I have actually become much less clumsy than I was when I was younger. I know it’s hard to believe.
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is that I can get really distracted and off task easily sometimes. This affects the areas of my life by me trying to do something that’s very important, but yet I get distracted from things that aren’t important. The things that help me stay on task and not get distracted is to think about it all the time so I won’t be willing to forget it.
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is that it is kind of hard to pay attention to one thing without having me blank out or start to think of something else. I usually try to not let this happen but sometimes it kind of just.. gets to me. But, even because of this, I get my work done and on time. I am working on improving on paying attention more.
ReplyDeleteMy other weakness is that I can be very lazy at times. Like one minute I could be on-task and ready for anything. But, at other times, I don't feel like doing anything and feel like just laying back and doing nothing.
I think my weakness is that I am very impatient. I think this is bad because when I am in a meeting if I am not having fun I get bored and impatient. Then I won't remember what we did or what happened(by the way I thought that the meeting on Friday was fun) I am getting a little better about it but it is still there. I really am practicing it by waiting at my brothers and sisters events. I hope that I am better and more patient by the end of the year.
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is that im forgetful.
ReplyDeleteThis weakness really affects how i work because i forget what i am supposed to do.I try working on this weakness by writing down what im supposed to do. This trait holds me back.I tend to ask many people to remind me to do something, even though it is not their responsibility.
I would say my weakness is that I am very shy when i meet new people. Once I get to know them, I am a lot louder though. I do work on it and I am very conscious when I am being shy and I try to speak up. I think I have gotten better at speaking up but I will definitely work on it some more.
ReplyDeleteWell i guess my weakness is that im WAY to talkative and sometimes can't focus or consintrate, and i get destracted ALOT. It's always been an issue for me, ever since 2nd grade! All my teachers every year has told me that i get off topic and dont consintrate, but im still a good student. I've been trying to control myself, and has gotten better. But sometimes it getts out of control. This effects my life and leadership because i can get into troble by teachers, then those teachers wont see me as the leadership type. So im still working on that. Oh, and im not that great on a speller so dont yell at me:D
ReplyDeleteVERY VERY forgetful too:D
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is communication with other people. I believe i lack this quality in words of speaking to adults, and approaching others. With my lack of ability to communicate with others, it may cause a misunderstanding and the message may not cross to the person. Also,the message told may be misinterpreted by the second party. With my lack of approach, things may not happen the way I wanted it to be..
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is that I like to dawdle:) when I am doing stuff. When I'm doing my homework, I sometimes get distracted or find excuses to get up. It's hard for me to sit down for a long time when I am by myself since nobody is making sure that I'm doing what I am supposed to unlike when I'm in class. After I spend a long time over doing my homework, I rush at the last few problems. I get off task a lot of times when nobody is watching me and sometimes I just stare at the wall or talk on AIM. For things that would take people ten minutes, I would probably finish it in half an hour.
ReplyDeleteMY weakness is that i am not very organized. I tend to lose things in my binder a lot especially homeowrk because my binder is always messy. I try to clean it out when it gets full but everytime i clean it out, it gets messy again like the next day. I really need
ReplyDeletehelp on my organization skills or else i will lose a lot more important things.
My weakness is that I'm am impatient. I am rushing me and sometimes other people. Sometimes when I rush, though, I don't do things right or really messy. I always get fusturated when I take too long doing something. I am working on being more patient
ReplyDeleteI think my weakness is procrastinating too much. Everytime I get an assignment, I usually get distracted and say to myself, "I can do it later, it's easy." Eventually I notice how late it is and it turns out not being as easy as I thought it would be. I'm trying to work on it but I always seem to get distracted. Atleast I didn't procrastinate on this assignment!
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is that I'm am not very organized. This trait of mine keeps me from shining because I am the student store commissioner and am supposed to be neat and on top of everything and because of this it has taken our committee a longer time to finish cleaning the student store then it would've had if i were neater. This also affects me greatly because if the student store isn't neat then were going to lose more sales. This also affects me because if the student store isn't neat then our whole committee is going to have to stay after school longer and I'm going to lose time to do homework.
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is being forgetful. Sometimes, I forget to do some of my homework or forget to do something someone asked me to do. This affects me because I might forget to do a lot of my homework then eventually I'll fail the class. Hopefully I won't be THAT forgetful.
ReplyDeleteI think my weakness is that I loose concentration easily. When the time comes for me on really having to concentrate I often get distracted by something else. My lack of concentration affects me on my grades and other things important that I should have focused in more. Every time I have to focus on something I always try my best on concentrating and not get off tracked.
ReplyDeleteI think my weakness is that I'm a lazy person and I lose my concentration really easily.I'm not very,very lazy because I've seen worse(such as my sister),and I'm only lazy when I'm really tired from the day(usually at night).My lack of concentration is improving, but still has room for improvement.But I'm trying my hardest not to be a lazy person and to be more focused on things.

ReplyDeleteWell , I'd have to say my weakness is my laziness & how i forget things a lot. Even though most of the time I am on task. People might have to constantly remind me to do things if its a long term assignment, & well my laziness. I don't know about that. But I am trying to be a much harder worker
ReplyDeleteI would have to say my weakness it forgetfulness. I forget tons of stuff. For instance, my responsibilities. Whenever I have something to do I try my best and finish it but, it is either I forgot to bring it with me or forgot where i put it. This effects me because what if I need to do something important and leave it at home? What if I forgot to put something on an assignment? Like one time I forgot to take my socks off when I took a shower. That moment really made me feel dumb. To improve my forgetfulness I try to ask myself a simple question everyday which is " What do I need to do?"
ReplyDeleteThis simple question helps ALOT.
I would have to say my weakness is being easily distracted. I can be working hard on something and when i see something that grabs my attention i would get distracted. Like butterflies! when i see them i start running after them because they're so pretty. Although they're not gonna be any butterflies in the class. So i'm good (:
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is that I'm sometimes shy. In my other classes, I'm afraid to speak up, so the teacehrs alway have to say "I can't hear you. What did you say?" It's different in leadership class because I get to be around people that I'm close to so I'm not afriad to share my opinions or answer questions. This weakness will affect me in life because I just freak out whenever it comes to presentations in front of the whole class. It just make me scare, talking to a bunch of people that I mostly don't know. I'm trying to overcome this weakness, so far, it's good but I'm still working on it because I'm still nervous when the teacher calls on me.
ReplyDeleteargh. have no time to do blogs DANGIT. but i still think i should do it .
ReplyDeleteanyways
I think my weakness is forgetfulness because sometimes I do too many things at once and forget whut I needed to do first. It affects my life by accidentally forgetting a notebook or forgetting to do something like this blog. It's a weakness I have to get over because I think that the weakness I have will make me seem irresponsible.
aaaaah. forgot to post earlier this week.
ReplyDeleteI think my weakness is that I tend to want everything to be super perfect. The problem with that is that I spend way too much time on one thing, and I end up having no time to do other things. So basically, I'm a dawdler. This affects my life because when I have projects, I focus more on how it looks, rather than the information that is the important part.
