I am a normal individual who lives a normal life, speaks her mind, and has dreams and aspirations to

fulfill someday. I believe that each of us has our own strengths and weaknesses and I think that it is
something that we really have to recognize and most especially accept. Going through life, I discovered
that I am very patient especially in handling people, I always think that I should widen my ways of
understanding them since we all have our differences; I am also sociable, it is very easy for me to be with
others and handle situations with strangers and I easily get comfortable with them. When it comes to my
skills, I have found out that speaking in front of people is my thing, I am also a good cook, and lastly, I
love computer-related tasks. I also have several weaknesses, as I mentioned, I am very sociable which
eventually gave me difficulties in terms of being alone, it is hard for me to do things without accompany;
another weakness of mine is my ability to focus, I easily get distracted in everything that I do, and lastly,
I do not know how to say no, I just keep on saying yes without me noticing that some things are already
beyond my capabilities which sometimes leads me to be frustrated with myself.

Aside from aspiring of making enough money to achieve a stable and beautiful life to support me, my
family, and other people especially those who helped me become who I want to be. Becoming a Certified
Public Accountant is also my ultimate dream since I was a child, it was clear in my mind that I will not
pursue any other profession aside from being an accountant but when college life happened, I saw how
difficult it is to achieve that dream, there are so many factors that affected it which lead me to some
realizations which include instilling in my mind that BECOMING HAPPY, MOTIVATED and PASSIONATE IN
EVERYTHING THAT I DO should be my ultimate goal and aspiration and I should not focus on the
profession alone, that is why regardless of the title as long as it is a part of making me achieve that
dream, I should pursue it.

To achieve or maintain high self-esteem, I should start to be good to myself, recognize every flaw that I
possess, and instill in my mind that nobody is perfect that is why I have to accept myself for being who I
am and stop thinking to structure my life with the opinion of others. I also think that surrounding myself
with people I am most happy and comfortable to be with and being spontaneous with them is a great
help to achieve high self-esteem. I also believe that anyone can be a self-actualized person and that
includes me, it is just a matter of knowing and accepting who you are and what you wanted to be and
think that you can do it.
