To Tiddler: I just posted my strengths from that test if you read that post that I posted 3 posts back (The really long post lol.) Unless you meant what I think my strengths are without anyone else’s input. Being as honest as possible as I always am on here I would have to say my top 11 strengths consist of: Computers, unusual and creative Writing/ Ideas, I always did good in Literature and English class, Reading, Spelling, my determination and conscientiousness, if rewarded and praised I can be a very hard worker. If I would have tried harder in High School I think I would have done better in Biology and Chemistry, (B and C avg. in Biology, C and D avg. in Chemistry), World History Even though my grade avg. was only 77% -81% from what report cards I still have, but a lot of that was because I am a lot more interested in Ancient Rome, rather than let’s say learning about India.
I would have continued but I actually have my 11th and 12th grade High School Transcripts right here. 😳 Now keep in mind this was an Adult Education school and I only attended this school because I was 17 going into 11th grade and the original high school wouldn’t let me attend because of my age, (I was held back in Kindergarten and failed 7th Grade) haha! ya I know funny huh. Maybe these grades may shed some light on my weaknesses/strengths and give you the reader insight on how I do in certain subjects.
1. Internet: Making Your Life Easier I: A
2. Writing Improvement: B ( Christian Teacher hated me because I was goth, not kidding, so I should have got a B+ I busted my hump in that class.) but whatever I got a B
3. Short Stories: A-
4. U.S. History I: B
5. Leaders Who Shaped U.S. History: A-
6. Intro To Computers: A
7. Consumer Economics: B
8. Computer Applications: A
9. U.S. Government: B
10. Geography: A-
11. Psychology: A+
12. Sociology: B-
I wouldn’t take these grades seriously considering it was an Adult Ed. And I think the real high schools work was probably harder than this schools, we had a smoking room for those old enough so we could smoke in there during break between classes which was only 7 minutes, classes were 2 hours long a piece, and we didn’t have to go on Fridays which was AWESOME! And we could graduate with 19 Credits instead of 22 needed in real high school, I still recieved my diploma and got a Silver Tassel for a 3. something GPA I was late to my own Graduation I didn’t figure I would win anything so I missed what they said my GPA was lol. (skipped the achievement ceremony before the Graduation.) and yayaya Psycology my only A+ don’t even go there because the teacher was my favorite and I did a lot of extra credit and wrote like 10 different biographies on Ancient Roman leaders for ex. credit to raise my grade if I missed a paper or something to raise my grade again. Run on sentence again I know.
Nonetheless, I guess I shouldn’t be so hard on myself but I don’t like to boast so I find every reason to doubt my abilities so that I not only don’t come off as arrogant or boasting, but I try to be a realist and realize that I probably wouldn’t have done as well in real High School. This school also only required 2 yrs of Math and 3 yrs of Science instead of the 4/4 req’d in regular high school. If Science and Math came into the equation you would have seen a D or F in Math and a C or D in Science more than likely, so don’t think im all A’s and B’s because I’m not.
