Through the years, I’ve gone through a lot of experiences that helped me become more confident in myself. As I learned more and my self-esteem got better, I started to see both my strengths and weaknesses clearly. I think my strengths are being observant and determined—I like figuring things out and I keep trying even when things are hard. But I also know I have many weaknesses. I tend to overthink small things, get distracted easily, and sometimes avoid doing tasks when I feel stressed. I also struggle with time management and staying organized, especially outside of school.

When it comes to academics, I believe my strength is in logical and analytical thinking. This is one reason why I chose to study Information Technology. I feel comfortable doing tasks like programming, fixing basic computer problems, and prototyping apps. But I have a hard time with subjects like English and history. I struggle to write essays, understand readings, and remember facts from the past. I also feel nervous when I have to speak in English, especially in formal situations. These are things I really want to improve because I know they’re important too.

To showcase a part of my journey and growth, I’ve included here some of my favorite projects related to IT—things I’ve worked hard on and learned a lot from.
