Well, I'm not exactly sure how to start this one, but I guess I will share three things that I think are among my greatest strengths. Gosh, I feel like I'm on a job interview or something... let me know how I rate ;)
1. I'm a good problem solver
Critical thinking and problem solving have always been areas of strength for me. It may be partly because I am often very determined and even stubborn so that I don't want to give up on something until I have the problem solved. It also means that I like to find the answers to my own questions and do a lot of digging on my end before asking somebody else for help or advice. I've always enjoyed a challenge and I like to figure things out for myself. Problem solving allows for a different type of creative thinking, which I often find to be fun.
2. I'm a fast learner
I alwasy exceled in academics, and I think the primary reason is just that I can learn things quickly. There wasn't any one subject area that I was particularly good at -- it was just the learning process in general, which has helped to form me into an intellectually well-rounded person and the Jane of All Trades that I am rather than a specialist or expert in any particular area. As you can tell from the basis of my blog, I am always interested in learning new things and, again, enjoy a new challenge. Whether it's a hobby, an academic topic of interest, a new computer program, or what have you - if it's something I decide I want to learn, I can usually obtain at least a basic competence.
3. I'm easy to get along with
I have a pretty easy-going personality, I dislike conflict, and I do genuinely care for other people. I think that combination makes me an easy person to get along with (most days!). Although I'm often very shy, I can make friends with anyone who's willing. You just might have to start the conversation :)
***Bonus***
I can also make a pretty awesome fish face:
It's skills like these that have gotten me where I am today ;)
