Waking up, mediocre, is normal.
However, staying mediocre is a choice.
When given the chance, I would always reflect on myself – my skills, qualities, strengths and weaknesses. I concluded that I am still mediocre- normal, average. However, acknowledging that, I aspire for growth, improvement, and development.
As a media writer in the making, I assessed myself on how much I possess the following qualities and skills of a media writer:
Qualities:
- Curious
- Intelligent
- Industrious
- Resourceful
- Persevering
- Imaginative
- Puts a premium on accuracy and truth
- Loves to read
- Interested in and loves people
- Service-oriented
Skills:
- Gathering data
- Validating and clarifying information
- Organizing information
- Writing clearly and effectively
- Proficiency in the operation of communication tools/devices.
Giving myself a rating ranging from 2.00 to 3.00 to most of the qualities and skills, I honestly had a hard time giving myself a rating of 1.00- the highest rating, for the reason of not being able to live up to that. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean I will remain like this. I’m willing to do the work.
I came to the UP because I still had so much room for improvement. Not because I’m already the best.
