I agree with the ordering of most of my strengths. My top 5 are definitely my strongest attributes and I agree with them completely. One example of my strengths, my perseverance and love, is that I’ve wanted to go to Ohio State and become a paleontologist since I was 5 years old. I have followed through with that dream as I am currently enrolled at Ohio State studying Earth Sciences to one day become a paleontologist. Of my strengths on the list, I wish that creativity and humor were higher on my list. I know that these are definitely weaker parts of my personality, but I have been working on them and hope they improve. My favorite strength by far is my teamwork. I have played on many sports teams throughout my life and I take pride in being a good teammate.
