My Strengths: A Self Analysis

Ever since I was a little girl, I have always felt this heart aching pain every time I see someone in trouble, feeling down, and etcetera. And I have also felt like a super hero when I am able to make someone happier, even if it is by taking the slightest smile or laugh out of them. Growing up I was not sure why I was like this. A couple of weeks ago, I found out through a strengths assessment in StrengthsQuest that one of my top strengths is empathy.

One issue that there could be with my goal is that, there might not be many jobs available in Florida for these two types of psychologists. However, I will not let that alter my goal. As a solution, I will research deeply about jobs available in Florida for these two types of psychologists. And if I am unable to find a good job in these fields, I will research about jobs in these fields that are out of state. I am willing to move out of state in order to be able to complete my dream job because I know that it will help me to achieve my life purpose of helping other people.
