To Using Your Weaknesses for Growth,


Hey readers. I wanted to speak about using things you may not be good at to help you grow. We all have strengths and weaknesses. However, if you feel that it hinders you from accomplishing something that you truly want to do, you have the ability to get better at it or improve.

There will be things you do right and things you do wrong. No one is born able to do everything. Yet, all it really takes is faith.

Faith not only in what you want to do, but also in yourself.

I know that it sounds easy to read or write onto paper than it is actually committing to that. I take a look at my own life and can pick out key moments this applies to. Even still, there were also moments that provided a breakthrough, and I was able to see what I truly was capable of.

If you look at a lot of my writing, I talk about "dreams" quite a bit. It sounds like an elementary idea, but I firmly believe in the dynamic of realizing what one wants. Therein, if it means taking a little more time to improve in a certain area or skill to get to where you want to be, go for it!

Reservations within ourselves will exist. It's natural and there's nothing wrong with that. It becomes something we're able to recognize at some point. However, don't ever give up. That sounds too simple, right?

What I mean is, even if your dream or goal changes, you still have that bit of growth within you to carry onto the next phase of your life. That weakness has become strength. You've built on top of your own foundation. You have accomplished an obstacle within yourself.

We have small things that happen to remind us of this. That varies from person to person. But the message remains: you can accomplish whatever it is you have your heart set on. As long as it is providing health and strength to your inner being, please pursue it.

I hope this letter reaches someone who needs it.



Encouragingly,

Jessica

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
