Week 9 / GEN 105

You are at your graduation dinner. Your best friend or favorite relative
stands up and talks about your five most significant strengths that
contributed to your successful graduation from college. What do you

I try to look at all points of views before jumping to a conclusion, and I give most the benefit of the doubt. I know she would definitely say that I was well spoken. I take pride in being able to hold an educated conversation. If I do not know about a subject, then I either look it up so that I do know what the conversation is about, or I will ask questions.
