I am very pleased with how this week has gone. We have had an excellent discussion on values and talking about American values through the Declaration of Independence and the John Adams video. Next week we shall begin talking about the American Dream and how it has been impacted by American values. I hope you have a great weekend and behave.
As for what I want you to write about: What do you think are your greatest strengths and weakness as a person? How can you take a weakness and make it into a strength?

As a person I have some strengths and some weakness. One of my strengths is I am athletic and do a lot of sports. Also, I get good grades which will help me get into a college. Last strength is i am usaully a good person which helps me because then people don't hate me at first. Now one of my weakness is i am at times to competitive in stuff that doesn't even matter. Also, sometimes i can say some mean things when i am not in a good mood. Last weakness is i worry about little things sometimes.

I believe that I have many strengths and weaknesses. Some of my strengths are that I am very athletic, I am good in school and I believe that I am a very well-rounded person. I can be nice and friendly but when it comes to and event such as a game, I get very competitive. Being too competitive is one of my weaknesses. I have a tough time losing at something. It really bugs me and I get mad or quiet. However, I have gotten much better. Another one of my weaknesses is that I have a pretty bad temper. I get mad a lot if a numerous amount of things do not go my way. Sometimes my temper is a good thing in soccer. I can use the anger and take out on the field. This helps me play a lot.

Just like everyone else in this world I have strengths and weaknesses. One of strengths is that like to try and be nice to everyone. Which in some cases that is a weakness to because when people make fun of me I don't say anything I just take it. Another one of my strengths is I good good grades, which will help me later in life. Another weakness is that I don't think before I speak. So sometimes when I'm not at my best I say things, that get me in trouble. Which is never very good. What I can do to help my strengths is stand up for myself when the time comes, and think before I speak.

Everyone has strengths and wekanesses, and so do i. I get good grades and i also have a horse. I always try my best at everything. Also, i try very hard at tennis. Theorfore, it all pays off in the long run. I have many weaknesses. First, i hate it when people ask me things over and over again. It frustates me that people think they can have no respect for others just because they aren't like them. I can try to tell them that everyone should be treated equal.

Like every human being i have my own strengths and weaknesses. Some strengths as a person would be that i am a very good listener. I also try to be as nice as i can to everyone. But that can also be bad because alot of the time I let people walk all over me. A weakness that i have is that im a very impatient person. I can fix some of my weaknesses by standing up for myself. Also i can try to not get so impatient and learn to wait.

As a person I have both strengths and weaknesses. One of my strengths is that I’m athletic and play allot of sports. Another one of my strengths is to stay calm when something is bugging me. My last strength is that I’m usually a nice person to people. One of my weaknesses would have to be that I have a hard time focusing in school. Another is I can be really mean to people when I’m in a bad mood. My last weakness is that I can’t stay awake in Mr. Mohr’s class

My greatest strength would have to be that I am social. And that is also my biggest weakness. I really don't know that is a big problem. Until my mom told me that. Another weakness is that I don't study. I know that I need to do. My only excuse is that i am lazy. I really need to work on that.

I think that I have some strengths and weakness as a person. Some of my strengths are being nice to people. I like playing softball, and hockey so I am athletic. Another one of my strengths is that I try to get good grades. Some of my weakness is that I am very quiet because I am not that talkitive. I don't study for test as long as I should. Another one is that I get worried way to easily about certain stuff. A way to turn a weakness into a strength is by working on that weakness.

I have many strengths and and a couple of weaknesses. When it comes to school I can have some strengths yet on the other hand I can have some weaknesses. One of my strengths is that I know Ican do good in school if I just focus and stay on track. Another strength of mine is my athletic ability to play play the sports that I do. I do have my strengths and weaknesses in my sports also. On the weakness side I have no patience at all. When I try to work on something and it doesnt work I just get so mad its not even funny. I get this way espically with technology. When a computer isnt cooperating with me I just get so frustrated I just leave. These are some of my strengths and weaknesses.

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. One of my strengths is i get good grades. So that will be good for me when it comes to college. Another strength of mine is i care for my friends above anything else. But that could be weakness as well because even if a friend is really mean to me i still hang out with them. Only because i hate to lose friends. I guess to help make my weakness into a strength i could care about my friends but not let them be mean to me.

my greatest strengths are being able to be trusted, hard work ethic , being prepared most of the time, and understanding people. i am proud to have them and i put them to good use.my weaknesses are talking to new people. i am very quiet and don't talk to people i don't know. even though i want to i can't make myself say anything. i want to meet more people so i have to work on that. i am just going to have to make a better effort to talk to people .
I have a few strenths and weaknesses. My streaths are that I am smart at most times, I am very athleic, and and I have a pretty good temper. But if you reach my breaking piont and Im mad, you don't to be around me. Also since I am athletic I have a pretty good body, and I am proud of that. One of my main weaknesses is sweets. But my favorite sweet is chocolate. I will do almost anything for a candy bar. Another weakness I have is spelling I am horrible at spelling. But I can make a weakness as a streath. I can work on my weakness and make it better to work for me.
Chris Reid
Mr. Kay,
Like any person i have my strengths and i have my weaknesses. One of my biggest strengths is that im a very easy going person, so its easy for me to make friends and im very easy to talk to. Another one of my strengths is that im very hardworking, and never quit anything that i start. Finally, i always maintain a high GPA in school. But I also have my weaknesses. One of my weakneses is that i dont always pay close attension in class, and may miss something important. Another weakness of mine is that i come across being on the quiet/shy side, but once you get to know me, im a totally different person. Finally, i am a procastinator. I tend to hold off on doing projects/homework until the last minute. To fix my weaknesses i can make sure im always focused in class, and to always do my homework right when i get home, instead of waiting until later on.

Mr. Kay,
As human beings we all have different strengths and weaknesses. No one person is perfect. Some of my strengths would be school, athletics, and being nice whenever I can. One of my greatest weaknesses that I hate is that I am pretty lazy. If i wasn't so lazy so many other things would be simple. It would make me better at sports and at school. This year I am going to try and work on not being so lazy all the time.
Jordan Blanzy 5th hr
I think i have more weaknesses than stregnth. For example; I take things too personaly. I am also very gallable. Like when someone says someone died in the cafiteria. I would believe that. Some Srengths are; that I am very easy to get along with. Another is that I have a very good personality. To convert my weaknesses to strengths i think i would stop being so defensive and stop believing whatever i here.
Zack Ruffin 6th
Mr. Kay,
I, like everyone else, have strengths and weaknesses. One of my strengths is academic strength. I mainly do pretty well in school. I also have weaknesses. I have never been very organized with life. It's always hard for me to get everything I want and need to do going. I also have the tendency to obsess. I obsess over things I shouldn't obsess about. There is a couple ways I can overcome these weaknesses. I can focus on them a lot more then naturally. I can actually make a written play for what I need or want to do, then becoming an efficient plan maker. For my other weakness I can just stop obsessing and do other things to control my obsession. This is how I have strengths and weaknesses and such.

I have both strengths and weaknesses. Who doesn't? My strengths come into play in the Art and Creative Writing fields. So I have the upper hand there. I am also have alot of inner-strength, which is important for what I go through every day. And I've adopted a sense for people, where I can slightly 'smell' a bad vibe when a person's upset or mad.
My weaknesses include poor grades, loafing around, verbal terrets, and an insane thought process. As for turning those into some strengths? I have some remedies: poor grades=get help, laziness=chores ensue, verbal terrets=make people laugh, insanity=create interesting things.
It's that simple. :p

One of my strengths is that i put my best in everything i do. Also i try to be a good person and do that right thing.
Taylor Dieck
As a person I believe my strengths are being able to stand up for myself and always having my own opinion. My weaknesses are being hard headed and always having to have the last word. I love to argue and will never give up on it. But my strengths make me able to defend myself, friends, and family which make them worth it. But my weaknesses can also be my strengths. Sometimes it's not all that bad to be a little hard headed. But it's also not good to let your weaknesses show.
As a person I think that I have a few strngths and a couple weaknesss. One of my strenths are that I'm a great listener. In school I pay I think that this is a big weakness that I need to work on. I think that you can turn a weakness into a strength by setting your mind to it and tyingyour very best. Hopefully I can make my weakness one of my geatest strengths one day.
Every person has strengths and weakneses. I believe my strengths are, when it comes time to work, and get things done, I do my best to do the task at hand. I can get along with just about anyone, I never really try to have problems with people. Some of my weakneses are, If something doesnt apeal to me, I tend to slack off and complain. Im a pretty short kid, so sometimes im not takin serious with sports. Probably my greatest weakness would be that im a very lazy person, I dont see the point in walking fast to a class. I try to sleep whenever the oppurtunity comes about, or even if im bored ill just sleep. To change my weakness of being lazy, I suppose I could try to get more motivated.

Mr. Kay please disregard my first one...
As a person I think that I have a few strngths and a couple weaknesss. One of my strenths are that I'm a great listener. In school I pay I think that this is a big weakness that I need to work on. I think that you can turn a weakness into a strength by setting your mind to it and tying your very best. I have had weaknesses before that I have turned into a strength. Before highschool I was th laziest kid alive. Now after a ton of dedication I am a great worker. Hopefully I can make my weakness one of my geatest strengths one day.
Some of my greatest strengths are being organized, smart in school, and learning new things. In diving I can do a new dive just from my coach's description of it. I'ts not a long process, I can usually do something great the first time I try. Some of my weaknesses are forgetting things, talking in front of large crowds, and with boys. (hahaha) I also get stressed really easily, I can get angry and frustrted. That's not always a bad thing though. Anger is a good way of giving you an adrenaline rush for sports.
Carolyn Newton Period 5
Some of my strengths are in school as well as my weaknesses. I get good grades and understand a lot of my classes but I have a lot of trouble concentrating and staying on task. Another one of my strengths of is being a well rounded person. I can balance my time between school and friends as well as after school activities. I like tryibg new things too. One of my big weaknesses is forgiving everyone and not holding grudges. It can be bad because I get hurt all over again. I can turn that into a strength by putting distance between the people who say they're my friends but just stab me in the back. I can always work on turning my weaknesses into strengths.

I have some strengths and weeknesses. One of my strengths is I am atletic. I play baseball and basketball for lakeland. I am also a person hat isnt affected by peer pressure and doesnt let people talk me into stuff I don want to do, which is a very good strength. I have someweeknesses that arent e best. I sometimes get pissed about stuff that doesnt really matter. I also get really competitive overthings that dont really mean much, but I havegotten better.
Tim Wilson 5th hour
like all people I have strengths and weekness. A strength I have is I get along with most people no problem. Another is once I get started on most things I dont stop untill I am done. But one of my weakness are im easily distraced when I do homework. Sometimes I get to competitive in things that dont matter much like sports in gym. Or some times I get worked up over stupid things. I belive that I could turn some of my weakness into strengths by eather not caring as much or work harder at them.

My greatest strengths as a person are my intelligence, my upbeat personality, and my ability to think for myself. I believe my greatest weaknesses are procrastination and laziness. Although I am not an extremely lazy person and do not procrastinate greatly, I still believe that they are large weaknesses in my life. I feel that I am strong at the aspects in my life that I want to be strong in and work at. If I would just work more equally on all areas of my life, then the difference between my weaknesses and strengths would not be so large. Sometimes people just think that if they are really good at the strong areas of their life, that others will overlook the weaker areas. That can be somewhat true, but no matter what your weaknesses are going to show sooner or later, so you must work on them now. This is why I want to make my weaknesses better, while still not forgetting about keepoing my strengths up.

It is only human to have strengths and weaknesses. My greatest strengths are being a nice person and and I can handle difficult situations that come into my life. I also have weaknesses.
I am often impatient and I say things that I regret later. I think that it is good for me to know my weaknesses so I can be aware and try to change my weaknesses into strengths. To change my weaknesses I can think before I speak and try to be more patient with others. It is the balance of my strengths that
keeps my weaknesses from overpowering my life.
Cherie Stoll 6th
I believe like any other person I have many strengths and weaknesses. One strength I have is respect. I respect people as good as they should respect me. One weakness would be anger. If I was to be respectfull to someone and they had no care in the world to respect me back Thats when I get mad. Another strength would be my ability to try hard at things like school. This would also lead to another weakness and that would be achieving perfect grades. I can normaly get good grades but have never been able to get perfect grades.

Mr Kay,
As a person i think i have some strengths and weaknesses. I think that the strengths are things that benefit me as a person. I think that i was blessed to be athletic, smart, and have a sense of humor. Not to mention my skills wit da ladiesss. Just kidding, unfortunately. I think that some of my weaknesses are the ability to tune people out, and the way that i manage my time. I think that i have to ignore people, so that it doesnt get me in trouble. To manage my time better, i think that i should make a routine to follow.

I as a person do not know all my strengths and weaknesses. I do know that I look at all things logically even when it is not necessarily. I excel most at games that require hand-eye coordination, reflexes and quickly formulated strategic decisions. I worry about the future, unexpected events and 'the nothing' as I prefer to call it. such fears cause me to make sure I plot out plans and when and where to go. Some characteristics seem negative but help me in other ways, other traits are completely useless. What is a strength and what is a weakness resembles a political opinion, it all matters on how you look at it and what angle you are on.
Derek Guckian
Well i have alot of strengths and weaknesses. Some of my strengths are i play sorts and most of them i really good at. Another is i get good grades and im on the high honors for ninth grade. Im also a really nice person, and really easy to talk to. Now some of my weaknesses are i get really mad really easy, and the littlest things set me off this can be bad when trying to make new friends. Antoher weakness i have is i way to forgiving, witch sometimes can be a bad thing.
hannah ledgley 5th hr
I believe everyone has there own strengths and weakness. One of my strengths is that I am good at communicating to others even if I do not them. Another is I am an athletic person sports and physical activities normally come pretty easy to me. But i also believe that no one is perfect and every person as at least one weakness. I myself have weakness like most athletes I hate losing and I can be very competitive in things that don't even count. Also when I am playing a sport I get upset very quickly and it doesn't normally turn into positive energy. However I believe if you practice your weakness and really concentrate it will turn into a strength.

As a person I have many strengths and weaknesses. Fist off, I am intelligent and I get good grades in school. I also understand the world in a way different from the way most people view it at my age. It is probably because I understand politics and have my own opinions on what is best for the country. My weaknesses include the fact that get angry pretty easily. I don't know why but when people are mean to me it puts me in a bad mood. I am also very competitive on the field when I'm playing a sport. While it's good to joke around and have fun, I get pretty serious when it comes to a competition.
Eric Tamm

My strengths as a person is that I nomally never make enemies. I always try to be nice to people. However that is also one of my weaknesses. I tend to be a little too nice sometimes. Which allows some people to walk all over me. Another is that I'm quiet when I first meet people but when I get to know them I act more like myself. I can take my weaknesses and turn them into strengths by working on it and becomeing more outgoing.

I think my strengths are being able to get good grades.Also being able to listen.SOme of my weaknesses are letting things get to me.Also doing stupid things that I shouldnt do in the first place.Maybe if I just ge away from the person whos getting to me it may diffuse the situation.If I put some common thought before I go do somethings such s kick an orange I should think about the consequences,even though it is dumb in the first place.
One of my greatest strengths as a person is my ability to be open to new things and people. I am open to others opinions and morals, while still maintaining my own. I also believe that I am a very kind person. I am still working on my weaknesses, especially keeping my commitments. I can easily become bored with normal routines and forget my prior commitments. I also need to improve on my hand writing. I'm proud of my strengths and working on my weaknesses.
Chloe Martin, 6th hour
"As for what I want you to write about: What do you think are your greatest strengths and weakness as a person? How can you take a weakness and make it into a strength?"
in my lifetime, i have noticed i have a significant amount of weaknesses, that people have always pointed out to me. but one of my strengths, has turned all of those weaknesses into strengths. that strength for me isn't ignoring people, it is just not caring what others say or think about me. that i have found is one of the best strengths to have, because it makes life a whole lot easier and a whole lot more enjoyable. also, as i had mentioned that i have had many of my flaws pointed out by people, that is one of my strengths, to hold that to myself, unless i see someone who might get hurt because of their weakness.
one of my physical weaknesses is that i am overweight, but the strength to counter that, is that i am trying my best to work that out. another physical weakness i have is my eyesight, but my opposing strength is to overcome that with my other 4 senses. as for any mental weaknesses, i know i may have an extensively open mind, but i sometimes think very linear, oh well, i guess thats the pitfalls of being a democrat. but a strength i am developing is that i can usually think of pretty funny things on the fly, usually about the certain area we are in, as long as i have at least been their once, or had enough time to think about the subject.
i could go on and on about my strengths and weaknesses, but would i really want anyone who reads this to know all of my secret weaknesses. because i know for a fact, that their is at least one student in your class that would do such a thing, and that this student has before ridiculed me. so, i am taking my smart strength and walking away without revealing a bit to much so that people could exploit me. i hope enough people understand what i mean by that.
I have many strengths and weakness. One of my strengths is that I can stand needles and many people cant. Another one is that I have a high tolerance for pain. One of my weakness is that I cant stand to see other people cry. If they are crying I start to cry. Another one of my weakness is that I cant help but to cry when I watch a sappy movie. I believe that those are my main strengths and weakness.
Samantha Casteel

I think that my gretest strengths are that I am a really kind person and that I can always make someone laugh. Some Of my weaknesses are that I don't have alot of patience and that I am a complete worry wort. I think that what some people call a strength could also be a weakness. And that people's weaknesses can also be a stregnth. For example one of my weaknesses is being affraid of everything. That could also be one of my strengths because that will keep me more catious on things.
Brittney Cooper
Personaly, i have many different strengths and weakness. Some of my strengths being athleteic. I find athletisysm to be a strength because not only does different sports keep you in shape. But it is just another extra corricular activity. Another strength that i carey, are my smarts and intellegence. I am told multiple times by my family and teachers that i am a very smart and intellegent young man. This strength that i carry shall get me through school and into the real world with a good job. But like said by everbody, nobody is perfect. In that case i carry some weakness as well. One weakness being the way i play sports. I mean this because when i play hockey for example, i know that i am a good hockey player but for some reason in certain situation, i lower myself to the comptition. Another weakness that i carry as a person is my attitude. When i am in a bad or grumby mood i seem to be very rude. I try not to carry these weaknesses as much as possible to make life alot easier and more fun. These are my strengths and weakness.

My greatest strengths as a person are probably just being a kind and loving person. I think i am a kind person and very loving. My weeknesses are probably keeping my mouth shut. I always bud into conversations and tell everyone peoples secrets and stuff. I can also be meen sometimes if im in a bad mood. I can take my weekneses and turn them into strengths by learning from my mistakes. Keep my mouth shut and not be meen to people when im in a bad mood.
Katlyn Twigg 6th Hour
I would say that i have many weeknesses and very few strengths. Some of my weeknesses are probably that I am very care free, I dont consintrate in class, I'm tardy alot, I skip somtimes and i dont think beforte i act. I dont have very many strenghts. I can turn my weaknesses into strengths by changing my attitude a little. I could start trying in school and start caring more and my future. I plan to do these things in order to become a better person.
Charlie Patrell, 5th hour
I believe my strengths are what you are good at and what you have a natural talent for. I think one of my strengths are being athletic in sports for being very competitive. Also i try to get the best grades i can in school. Another strength is that im a nice person to other people and that helps me with friends. One of my weaknesses is i get distraacted easily at times when i am bored or i find somehing else thats more fun to do then what im doing. Another weakness is sometimes when i meet someone new i someimes am shy to others and dont warm up as quickly.

As a human, i have many strengths and weakness. To name a few strengths, sponging useless information, affinity with video games and computers, swordplay. Weaknesses? Needles, heights, lack of sleep, and tomatos. You could turn a weakness into a strength by continously facing it until you grow so used to it you no longer fear or dislike it.
