Strengths and Weaknesses

             My two biggest strengths are that I am enthusiastic and that I'm a
             hard worker. For instance, when I learned to snow ski, I was so
             enthusiastic about it that I talked five friends into trying it as well. I
             came back from my first ski trip and described it in terms other people
             could understand. I said that it was like riding a horse without the horse,
             or like riding a motorcycle without the motorcycle's noise. People could
             really relate to it, and it was obvious how much fun I had had. No one had
             thought of me as an athletic person, and I think they realized that if I
             could learn to do it, they could too. We all enjoy skiing now.
             I'm also a very hard worker. This is true whether I'm doing class

             first, but falling is just part of skiing and it isn't dangerous unless
             you're out of control. I didn't give up, and now I have a wonderful sport
             However, those strengths also contribute to my weaknesses. When I'm
             enthusiastic, I tend to interrupt other people. Needless to say, people
             don't really like that. They think what they have to say is as important as
             what I have to say. I usually catch myself, but not until after I've done
             it. I am not generally considered a rude people, but interrupting other
             Related to that is my determination. If I'm working on a school or
             work project, I may be willing to put in six hours when others think three
             or four is enough. They may be right, too. Just because I think there's
             more to be done doesn't mean there necessarily is.
             I would set some specific communication goals for me. First would be
             to end the interruption. I have two goals f
