Strengths....

PLEASE CONSIDER BEFORE YOU READ
I will be referring to "that girl" in this post, i hope you see the apology of categorizing instead of being upset at the categorization. Thank you!

In the last two weeks I have been humbled a lot, the things I never thought I'd do in college I have done... with about 2 months before graduation I have slowly become "that girl", the girl that I have tried so hard not be in the last three years at Cal Baptist. However, I've realized the reason I didn't want to be that girl was not because I was against the things that "that girl" did or had, but because I didn't have it so I talked myself out of it and made it ridiculous so that I didn't yearn for it. So, I have become the girl who stands outside my apartment with a boy after 11 because he cant be inside, I've been become the iphone addict tweeting, fbing and instagraming all day long and now.... I have become the "strengths finder" person. I think I took it once last year, but I can't tell you what my strengths where or what they meant, but last night I took the test and then read the meanings.... it was FASCINATING!!
1. Woo
  • You enjoy the challenge of meeting new people and getting them to like you
  • Strangers are rarely intimidate you, but to the contrary, strangers can be energizing.
  • You are drawn to them. You want to learn their names, ask them questions, and find some area of common interest so that you can strike up a conversation and build rapport.
  • Not only are you rarely at a loss for words; you actually enjoy initiating with strangers because you derive satisfaction from breaking the ice and making a connection.
  • There are new people to meet, new rooms to work, new crowds to mingle in. In your world there are no strangers, only friends you haven't met yet -- lots of them.
2. Communication
  • You like to explain, to describe, to host, to speak in public, and to write.
  • You want your information -- whether an idea, an event, a product's features and benefits, a discovery, or a lesson -- to survive.
  • Your word pictures pique their interest, sharpen their world, and inspire them to act.
3. Developer
  • People strong in the Developer theme recognize and cultivate the potential in others. They spot the signs

    of each small improvement and derive satisfaction from these improvements.

4. Adaptability
  • You don't see the future as a fixed destination. Instead, you see it as a place that you create out of the choices that you make right now.
  • This doesn't mean that you don't have plans. You probably do.
  • Unlike some, you don't resent sudden requests or unforeseen detours. You expect them, n some level you actually look forward to them
  • You are, at heart, a very flexible person who can stay productive when the demands of work are pulling you in many different directions at once.
5. Positivity.
  • People strong in the Positivity theme have an enthusiasm that is contagious. They are upbeat and can get others excited about what they are going to do.
Developer and positivity are smaller descriptions, but its weird how much I relate to them... its a 30 min test that can totally call me out. Weird.

Thankful for this information.
