Personal Reflection and Growth Plan
There is something fascinating about personality traits and personal growth. Everyone
with a mind will have a unique personality and individual ways of thinking. There are various
ways to look at traits and how to read and understand people. There are different ways to test
personalities and figure out areas you need to address. Addressing the issues in your personality
and working to fix them will only help you become a better person. Becoming a better person
can help anywhere, from your self-worth, at home and work. For example, people high in
integrity, may follow rules and be easy to supervise but may not be good with customer service
, due to not being patient or friendly. Its important to understand personalities or even take a test,
some tests are designed to diagnose psychiatric conditions such as paranoia or even
schizophrenia. Everyone is unique, except we all share various personality traits. Honesty,
loyalty, greed, and cheerfulness are a few traits many might share. Luckily, at the right age and
with enough effort, without ease, traits can be changed. (Nikos-Rose, 2020.)
Strengths and Weakness
Growing up without my dad was rough on me, I would really get jealous of my friends
when their dad would pick them up afterschool. After a certain age, I understood what lessons
my mother was trying to show me and the shoes she was trying to fill. She always tried to show
us how to be decent human beings and to treat everyone with love and forgiveness. There are
plenty of times where my mother’s teachings of honesty were needed and I’m glad I paid
attention. My work ethic, determination, grit and ambitiousness come from seeing her work night
after night, knowing I needed to work hard to get a better life. Unfoutreantly, my sarcasm,
irritability, coldness, and lonesomeness come from my dad even if we’ve never really met. There
are plenty more strengths and weakness to list, but a list of my traits would be a good essay.
