STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES IN READING AND WRITING

“½ Weakness, ½ Strength, 1 Human”

(One Half Weakness, One Half Strength, One Whole Human)

Reminiscing the past, I was once a young lad who's dreaming big and
aiming to be perfect in all aspects. But as time passes by, life itself slapped me
with hard fact that being in the realm of perfection is just a dream within a
dream. I came to realize that even though I can do some things splendidly, there
are also things that I find difficult to do- and those are called weaknesses. But
given that everything is built in pairs, from darkness and brightness to evil and
good, there's something which counterparts it. And that is called, strength. As a
mere human, I myself have these two.

There are a lot of strengths that were bestowed to me by God. Just like
everyone else, I have talents that I nurture, develop and use. To name some, I
have talents in arts, music and acting. I also consider resilience, perseverance,
diligence and other traits as my strengths. Without them, I'm quite sure that I
won't survive the horde of problems and crisis that I faced, currently facing and
will face in the near future. But of all the strengths that I possess, there is
something which I see as foremost of them all. The strength that ties all of my
strengths, and that is, values. Without values, as well as faith, God wouldn't
bless me this much.

Since I have strength, of course, I also have weaknesses (ton of them

actually). If I were to cite them all, it'll take more than four sheets of paper so
I'd rather not. Some of my most prominent weaknesses are solving mathematical
problems and equations and spelling. I also find it difficult to socialize amd
mingle with others. But of all the weaknesses that I have, I see my lack of
confidence and self-esteem as the most troublesome. Because of these two
weaknesses, I can't bring out one hundred percent of my potential when
performing in front of audience.

Now to conclude, everyone has weaknesses, everyone has strengths. They

might vary depending on the person but our response to them is the same. For
strengths, we must develop and utilize them. As for the weaknesses, we must
train and overcome them. These things are what we must do because we can't
help it, were not perfect and we'll never be. We are one half weakness, one half
strength.
