Throughout my life I have had many obstacles that I had to overcome. When I was younger I was a very

quiet and shy person. Being shy was not a good thing for me because I would never interact during class and I

started to fall behind. It got to a point where even if I was confused and didn’t understand something I would

never ask anyone for help, not the teacher or any of the students. I was always afraid that if I raised my hand and
asked a question everyone would laugh and make fun of me because I didn’t know and everyone else did.

Throughout my years in school I continued to not ask any question and I was still confused. During class I

never ask for help. The way it affected me was that I didn’t learn what i was suppose to. Around the end of the

school year of my first grade year my teacher talked with my parents and explained to them that I was having

trouble and was very behind compared to the other students. She recommended them to let me stay another year

and repeat the first grade so that I could catch up. My parents refused to let me repeat the first grade and part of

the reason why they didn't want me to repeat was because I didn't really have many friends, I was always too shy

to talk to other kids and make friends and my parents were afraid that I would have to find new friends and that

is very difficult for me to do.

Throughout the rest of my school years I was always behind and the reason why was because I never

bothered to ask any questions. I decided to just sit there in my seat confused. I would try and understand the

material on my own, but I would get very frustrated with myself because I would simply not understand what

was going on during class. My school decided to have a meeting with my parents and they came to a decision to

give me a counselor. The reason why was to try and work through my shyness​. The counseling worked but it

didn't completely get me to be more outgoing, I was still shy just not as much. My parents also chose to get me

a mentor so that i would interact more with children and people. The mentor would take me to events and try to

make me talk with new people. The mentoring and counseling lasted all throughout my elementary school years

but once I got to middle school it stopped and i had to try and interact with people on my own.

Over my middle school years I started to talk more and try and ask for help if I was behind. My parents also

got me a tutor to try and catch me up to where i should be. I slowly got better and started to interact more during

class. I still have some difficulty in math but i did improve a lot with all the help the school gave me and what

my parents provided me with. I am very happy that they got me help because if they didn't I would have never

reached out to anyone for help and would most likely still be struggling in my classes and be behind and be

doing very well with my grades.​  

Write a statement, in essay format (500 words minimum) about what you consider to be your strengths and/or 
uniqueness. Do not state mere generalities. If you already have this information written for a prior application, you 
may simply attach it to this resume 

What I consider to be my strengths is that I am very determined. Ever since I started to improve in school

I have become more determined to succeed. School has never been easy for me. I have always had trouble

with school, but once I entered high school I made a decision to always do my best. My grades have

improved significantly from when I was in Middle school and I am very proud of that. Something that I have

noticed in myself is that the more that I improve and learn the more determined I become.

One of my dreams is to become a nurse. I love helping people and I love being around kids. I know that

if one day I become a nurse I will have to be a very kind and helping person. That is another one of my the

things that I consider to be my strengths. I believe that I am a very kind and caring person and that I will one

day become a nurse and those will be very important characteristics a nurse needs to have.

Another one the strengths I have is that I am respectful. I believe that everyone should be respectful and

respect others. Being respectful is a very important skill to have in life because that is one of the things people

notice first in a person. If you are not respectful towards others they also wont respect you and respect is one

of the main things that any type of relationship is based on.

I am also very understanding. Being understanding is an important strength to have because

understanding someone is important.I believe that you should always be reasonable and understanding

towards people. People may be have a bad day and you have to be able to understand that things happen and

know how to treat people and understand that acting a certain way towards them at that moment will not help

or do anything.
