Culture (with a small C)

Strengths

- If I want something, I go for it                For example (this really happens): I really want to be good at athletics. So when my trainer says that I do something wrong or something can be better, I focus on that. So one time my trainer said: 'You're not the best. But I think if you keep doing what you're doing now, you can get there.' And that really helped me.

- I can work for a long time                         It's hard for me to start with homework, but when I start I work for more than an hour. Cause I can be focused for a long time, but it's hard to start focusing for me.

- I can make time for my hobbies                 I don't have a lot of hobbies, but the hobbies that I have take a lot of time. But if I don't go, it gets harder for me to study. So for me it's really easy to plan it right, so I can do the hobbies.     

Weaknesses

- It's hard for me to just sit                           I can't sit for more than an hour and not be a bit frustrated. That's why when I study, I walk around in my room. I don't do it all the time, because sometimes you can't do it and it also takes my focus away. That's also why my leg is always shaking in class.

- I can't learn something                               I may do acting and sometimes you need to study a text... But for me that's really hard. Because when I study it, I know it for one day and then it's all gone. So I need to study it everytime back from 0% or maybe 10%.

- I can't plan                                                   I can, but I don' follow it. It's just what I want to do that day, that's what I'm going to do. For example: every Monday I need to study French, but this monday I really want to do math instead. There isn't a French test tomorrow, so Math it is!            

Threats

- An extra hour school                                  For me it's really hard to be focused in that extra hour. Also when I come home I can't really do anything. Because on Monday I have athletics. And you're also home late because I come by train...

- Don't have a lot of time                               My weeks are really busy, because I have a lot of homework and my hobbies. And in the weekend we do things with family and I also do things with friends. Most of the time it's also hard to plan things, because we plan most things last minute.

Opportunities 

- Seeing friends and family                          I've already said that makes my weekend busy, but if I don't see them after I feel it mentally. And by that I mean that my motivation goes away, I feel everything harder...

- Music                                                            If I have a hard time or I feel bad, I just put music on and it goes away. Of course it's still there but just a little less. And that helps a lot to me. The things I often listen to is: Billie Eilish, Girl in Red...
