Your homework?

Describe yourself: strengths and weaknesses. You don't need to write an essay. Just give a brief summary of yourself using 10-20- or 30 KEY words to get the juices flowing. Remember to be honest and kind to yourself. Don't dwell on your negatives, if you want to speak of a weakness, talk about how you are resolving it and what you learned from it all.
