SWOT

I've also added a quick SWOT analysis. This is done in order to get a better view of a products strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Normally this is done for products but in this case it is done for me.

Strengths

I would think a strength of mine is that I don't give up in the heat of the moment. When it comes to working on stuff for school or at work even. I'm in a field of work where it can be really stressful at times. By this I mean that most people would give up but I just can't because there can be a life on the line at times.

Another strength I think is that I can recall a lot that happened even after it happened a week ago let's say. If I forgot to write down some feedback, I'll remember a few words and can make out the entire feedback from this.

Weaknesses

I tend to find that my biggest weakness is my communication and I struggle to find where this comes from. I tend to keep more to myself and find it hard to reach out to people when I need to. If I have to think of a reason why this is, I think it is because I am afraid of being judged. I am afraid that people will think less of me if I ask for help and another part of me thinks it comes from my past. Add all of this together and you become a person that finds it hard to communicate and approach people. I am actively trying to get better at it, which is why I am going to follow the eduction specialisation (I also like to teach so it's not only for this reason). It forces me to approach people and communicate with them and to get more out of my comfort zone.

I'm hoping my internship at a school coming semester is going to help me grow in the right direction.

Another weakness might be that I look down on myself too quickly, I found that I could write this weakness part faster than I could the other 3...

Opportunities

I'm constantly looking for opportunities (be it within the IT field or outside) and I'm trying to capitalize on them. For example: I found out that in my area web development companies are scarce and that you had to either drive a long way to go to one or do it yourself using Wordpress or another CMS. I saw this as an opportunity to start my own web development business which I'm trying to get off the ground. I'm still in the starting stages of this but I'm hoping to get it off the ground soon.

Threats

My biggest threat would be that I tend to call it quits quite soon. One example of this is that I wanted to make a game when I just started programming but I quickly stopped focusing on it. I think this was more because game development might not be made for me. After this I went to websites, which I still do today, but I have a lot of projects on my home PC just waiting to be completed but I haven't done so yet.
