identifying own weaknesses and ways to overcome them
This essay supposed to around 250 words.Feel free to criticize and advise openly. Thanks!
Despite not having weak points that could seriously affect myself or the people around me in a negative way,I believe I do have a weak point that is quite problematic and it is the lack of self-confidence.It might probably seem like something trivial for a weak point.However,I find it to be something that needlessly complicates my life in many ways,objectively hindering my individual development.Lacking confidence has always affected on how people see me as a person.During my high school years, I never had the courage to speak up unless I'm being asked to directly and as a result, people often regarded me as quiet, shy or uninterested in the lecture.I always used to worry about what people will think of me if i ever said something wrong.Whenever I am doing something,even if I have the skill or competency for that particular task that would make one confident,I always had a fear of failure and it has always made me underestimate myself in every situation.
Knowing my weakness,my mother and teachers at high school often motivates me not to overthink and convince me that the only thing that matters is whether you give something ur best shot or not.After adhering to that advice for quite some time,I started to notice the difference in my performance as well as my personality.Althought it does not completely remove the sense of negativity on how I see myself,I strive to do my best without overthinking about the consequences while also being subconsciously prepared for the worst to.I believe that is how i managed to overcome my weak point and achieved my personal best in the matriculation exam.
