Reflection On Strengths And Weaknesses

Many people struggle with who they are. Some people use those awkward teen years to figure it out while others may have had such a hard childhood that they don’t figure it out until they’re adults. As a part of this week’s curriculum we were assigned a test to get to know ourselves better and to get a better grasp on strengths, weaknesses, and how we learn. I felt the test was rather basic as opposed to a test such as the Myers Briggs test, which is way more in-depth than the “survey” I just took.

As challenging and tedious as citing sources can be, it is better to cite your sources than to risk being kicked out of school for academic dishonesty. Once labeled as a dishonest student, especially from a Christian college, it will be very hard to further your education after that point. Going to the end of a piece that you have read and seeing the sources not only let you that what was read is more fact based, it allows the reader to reference the sources used and further their reading on that topic if so
