Caitlin Hamoui Strengths

Caitlin Hamoui isn’t very passionate about journalism, she didn’t even sign up for this class. Caitlin was expecting to see more photography involved since, she loves to take pictures. She considers herself to be a self-starter because she motivates and leads herself to do things - she doesn’t wait for others. Working pressure isn’t problem for Caitlin but, the pressure does get her annoyed. She defines a team player as someone who works in a team. That short definition alone should tell you that Caitlin is more of an independent person a, do it on your own, kind of girl. She has many strengths academically which include, Science and Language arts. Caitlin’s strengths, which also include her favorite subjects, become very clear when you hear

what she aspires to be. Talking to her about her future endeavors, it’s clear that she is passionate and motivated to make sure her dreams become reality. Her academic weaknesses, if you want to call them that - she doesn’t, include technology.

She entered the class late and its been very hard for her to catch up but, she isn’t giving up on trying. She will never do something just to do it, her best efforts are put into everything she does. Quality over quantity is an important rule. To Caitlin, quality is perfect meaning, she will not give out multiple things if the quality isn’t right. She would rather spend more time on one thing to make it perfect than spending less time on, not so perfect content. When asked, Caitlin told me that should would rather explain a complex idea simply. Why? If can explain a complex idea in simple word, it means that you’ve mastered it. She believes that being able to teach someone knowledge you have means that you have fully stored and processed it. Caitlin, being from the new generation, reads social media. Snapchat and Instagram are her main sources of information. That doesn’t mean she never reads anything else. She will read a book if it interests her enough. Her favorite book is by her favorite author, The Twilight series by Stephenie Myers. Caitlin doesn’t spend her free time reading though, she would rather spend time with her friends or playing

soccer. Caitlin does not have a job but, is eager to get her first job when she can. While she waits, she plans on joining some clubs in high school next year since, she hasn’t taken any in middle school. She did, however, compete in gymnastics competitions in elementary school and won a lot of medals. It made her happy and she felt good about her achievements. She believes she is good at soccer and gymnastics and wants to learn how to play more sports. Caitlin’s fears and dreams go hand in hand, she has a fear of losing people and her dream is to be a successful surgeon. She aspires to one day be a surgeon and sees herself working, or owning, a hospital in 10 years.
