Narrative Essay
Throughout the process of the Strengths assignment, I was able to learn different
strengths I have as a person, and I was also able to learn what each of them meant. My top
strength was a developer. A developer is simply a person who focuses on potential, and loves
growing and learning, and is a person who enjoys seeing others learn and grow. With this
information I was able to find out more about my characteristic and exactly what it meant. My
second strength was an empathizer. An empathizer is one who is sensitive to others emotions,
and is able to put what they are feeling into words. As being a person who always wants to help
others and be for there for them in any way I can. I tend to put the emotions of others first. My
post high school plans are to go to college and study to become a speech pathologist. I believe
that being an empathizer will definitely help in my hopeful career, because it helps me attend to
each of the persons needs. Thirdly, my strength is meeting people. This strength is shown as
someone who enjoys meeting strangers and gets their energy off of people. This personality trait
could not describe me more perfectly. I have always been one to talk to random people and end
up making friends with them. Ive always found it intriguing to meet someone new and hear their
story. Having this trait will help me greatly, because it keeps me connected with others by being
social.
