Given that the school year is about to begin with me still grappling with some doubts about my place, a bit of self-examination seems in order. What strengths do I possess, and how are they balanced against my weaknesses?
1. I am an analytical thinker. I am not particularly creative.
2. I am a skillful and engaging teacher. I am not as good at the research phase of my job.
3. I do not speak overly much. Sometimes I think I've said more than I actually have.
4. I am usually kind and compassionate. I am quick to avoid conflict.
5. I have a sense of humor about myself. That sense of humor can be overly self-deprecating.
6. I mind my own business. I imagine this can seem cold.
7. I know the difference between what's important and what isn't. This can also seem cold.
8. I am unselfish and loyal. Not always able to say no when I should.
9. I am introspective. Too introspective. For an example, see this entry.
