¶ … hopeless in the face of the challenge, forgetting that all people have assets to help them deal with the challenges of everyday life. The goal of a personal strength and asset survey is to help make a person consciously aware of personal strengths and assets so that, when a challenging situation does arise, the person already knows the strengths and abilities that he or she possesses that will help him or her deal with the challenge. Therefore, my goal in conducting an assessment of my personal strengths and assets is to identify my strengths and assets, identify potential future challenges, prepare for future challenges, determine which of my strengths and assets would be appropriate when dealing with specific future challenges.
Assets and Strengths
There are several different objective ways to determine personal strengths, and these methods are important because a person's own perception about personal strengths may not reflect the reality. In many ways, people underestimate their own strengths and assets. Using three objective tools, I was able to determine my strengths. I used the Values in Action (VIA) Signature Strengths assessment tool, the Gallup Strengths Quest Profile, and another online tool to help me identify my strengths.
Using the VIA assessment tool, I identified my five signature strengths as curiosity, vitality, social intelligence, citizenship, and humor. To me, curiosity means that I take an interest in learning for the sake of learning (Thoren, Unk.). Vitality refers to approaching things with excitement and giving my all to every endeavor (Thoren, Unk.). Social intelligence suggests that I am adept at understanding others (Thoren, Unk.). Citizenship refers to the fact that I am loyal to the group and work well in a group setting (Thoren, Unk.). Finally, humor means that I am able to laugh, tease, joke, and see the lighter side of even serious scenarios (Thoren, Unk.)
Using the Gallup Strengths Quest Profile, I identified the following top five strengths: activator, connectedness, empathy, futuristic, and maximize. As an activator, I strive to put things out there and get things started (Gallup,...
Future With the ever-changing and highly competitive global landscape of the job market, our generation faces a multitude of challenges in the future. Increases in individual and institutional operating costs, the ongoing exploitation of credit systems and the increasing propensity of out-sourcing have created a bleak outlook for my peers and I. Rising rates of unemployment, joblessness and poverty in many developed and developing countries provide superb indications of such

Life It is important to acquire goodness in order to understand the meaning and purpose of life. Distressed and hopeless people do not consider or think about the meaning of life. For them, the meaning of life becomes inappropriate when their existence is at stake and when their life is a mixture of worries and perplexities. On the other hand, people who are not desperate mull over the meaning of life.

The shift toward standardized testing has failed to result in a meaningful reduction of high school dropout rates, and students with disabilities continue to be marginalized by the culture of testing in public education (Dynarski et al., 2008). With that said, the needs of students with specific educational challenges are diverse and complex, and the solutions to their needs are not revealed in the results of standardized testing (Crawford &
