 Reflection Paper

Everyone is characterized with the aid of their own special properties, which can be broken
down into certain qualities called strengths and weak points. These characteristics are different.
We must recognize our personal attributes in order to grow as a human being to help us transcend
our weaknesses. Knowing each one's learning styles and habits make me more mindful of how I
should design myself to learn more effectively, and not punish myself for believing that one way
of learning would be better than another. I will be addressing my own strengths and weaknesses
and describing how I intend to tackle my personal and professional limitations. My strengths also
allowed me to succeed in everything from everything I have tried in my life.

STI National Youth Convention promotes STI students to determine their weaknesses to
be able to recognize that their weaknesses may our strengths and also to have a better habit
lifestyle. Coach Randy Esguerra a successful Coach and Motivational speaker tell something about
our weakness and the topic is all about “Your Mess is our Message”. According to him,
misconceptions are incorrect perceptions or opinions that are often embedded in mistaken
expectations or hereditary vision influence. Misconception can be formed about topics such as
race, gender, politics, and culture. And also, according to him, we are so much of positive and
negative behavior as a person, positive behavior such as loyalty, intelligence, strong, honest,
courageous, etc. and the negative behavior become bully, nagger, disrespectful, boastful, harsh and
etc. All of this is our strength and weaknesses but maybe it is not our weakness, but also because
our weakness comes from our strength?

The reason why we are being a nagger is that we are loyal to that person and we truly want
them to be happy. The reason why we are being a bully because you felt that you are a strong
person. The reason why we are a harsh person because you are being honest with that person. This
is the example of our weakness that may come from our strength and it can be a negative impact
on the other people that you are having a relationship with them. The reason why we are being
boastful is that we are intelligent. The reason why we are being a disrespectful person is that we
are a courageous person.
 And lastly, Mr. Esguerra said that “People are package deals”, and can be weakened on our
relationships, our friendship, and our family. But he also tells that the 3 A’s; accept, adjust and
anticipate. We always accept other's opinions or beliefs so you can avoid stress. We need to adjust
for everyone and for the environment so you can fit in. And also, we need to anticipate because
sometimes we are emotionally weak.

Ms. Michelle Defensor a motivational speaker and a proud single mother thought that every
student has a self- love and self-awareness and also, she tells us to be happy, be open, and be
truthful. According to her.” Search your own heart and expand your awareness, so you can see the
real world”. And she also thought the STI students that ‘Focus on our Habit, always think that the
motivation, knowledge and process. Habit for Excellence is always the solution, always know the
intention and what is important, always seek allies and always sharpen ourselves.

Life is a never-ending getting to know the experience. One of the most vital lessons we are
able to ever study from comes from within. As we go through life, it is important that
we examine who we are, and feature the ability to perceive and develop from our own personal
power and weaknesses. Knowing what we are suitable at and what we are susceptible is
the only way we are able to actually develop as individuals. This knowledge helps us to attain the
goals we set for ourselves in life. Through taking this personal stock of my strengths and
weaknesses, I have determined what I want to do not only to higher apprehend who I am but a
way to enhance my life. In order to evaluate my power, skill audits evaluation has proven me in
which I can play to my strengths, and convey in others to fill my weaknesses.
