<p>Alright so the Common App comes out on Monday and while i’d like to prepare for it i’m not even prepared to choose a general field. I understand that its a personally decision and such and such bit i want guidance from a group of people that don’t even know me. Keep in mind that i actually hope to find a job after college. I also might want to leave that job eventually to teach once I’ve had some time away from academia. </p>
<p>Alright so here’s a rundown of my strengths and weakness as perceived by me. </p>
<p>Social: i’m reasonably good at this. i have no fear of speaking up or talking to people i don’t know. I’m really a tad obnoxious. Ideally i would want there to be other people around all the time in whatever i do. Don’t mistake me for someone who wants communication to be a massive part of there career focus though. I speak faster than an auctioneer( in theory i can speak slower but i never realize i’m doing it). Its hard for people to keep up sometimes. Additionally, i suffered from speech impediments up until 6th grade and i still have some remnants that like to sneak in (not often enough to be noticeable to anyone but me and those that know me VERY well ).</p>
<p>Academic attitude: i’m a procrastinator that always gets things done. However, I honestly love learning. I’ve never done it for the grade up until recently. In short i’m willing to commit years of my life to learning about something or many things. </p>
<p>Academic strengths and weaknesses:</p>
<p>Science - i’m alright at biology as far as i know but AP chemistry went awful for me. I got a 3 and i’m rather perplexed on how i pulled even that off. it just didn’t work for me</p>
<p>Math - I’m pretty good at math. So far its just come off as simple enough. I have no doubt that as long as i put effort in i can do well at something math related. I’ll do it if i need to but i don’t have any passion for it. </p>
<p>History/Social Sciences - By far my best subject area. Its pretty much a story riddled with random facts. I excel at that kind of thing. I also like the idea of big events and being apart of something that’s going to change the world somehow. Just like everyone else. That’s why i don’t feel like i can’t major in anything in this area. Everyone wants to change the world but there’s no money in that and to many people hoping to do that. </p>
<p>English- I love reading and writing. I’m that freak that enjoys research papers. I have secret ambitions of retiring early and doing nothing but reading books and writing them. Notice how i’m not considering it a career possibility any time soon. </p>
<p>Visually - Apparently i’m good at the whole arranging and making everything around me beautiful thing. </p>
<p>Overall hopes for the ideal career in the end:
I want to feel like i’m making something exist everyday. By that i mean that i want there to be some kind off real result that comes out of what i do, a development, a product, an idea. </p>
<p>Final Conclusion: i know everything i can’t do and want to do and everything i want to do but don’t have the skills to do. </p>
<p>Please tell me if anything would help you get a better idea.</p>
