3 #strength stories

STRENGTH 1: Leadership, Responsibility, Helping others:

EXAMPLE:
People say I am a good leader. I’ll relate it to my recent experience of being the GR of
my class in the University. In the beginning of university life, where we were exposed to
a whole new environment and new people and most of us were shy. In such situations
taking the lead was a difficult task for most of the fellows so, I was made the GR
voluntarily and was assigned a big responsibility. I took this opportunity as a source of
improvement for myself to enhance my leadership skills and to become more confident.
Though I found it difficult at times to manage different things as it was a hectic job but it
was my responsibility so I tried my best to do whatever I could in order to facilitate my
fellows. I used to arrange different classes and remain in contact with the concerned
teachers to let them know about the issues of students. Moreover, I also used to make
lecture notes for every subject and provided them to my fellows. I performed this
responsibility till 6th semester and then because of some personal issues I resigned and
gave this opportunity to another student. Most of the class fellows were happy with my
working and they appreciated me for what I did. Although I left the GR ship but I never
stopped facilitating my fellow mates and kept providing them the notes and any sort of
other help they needed till the last semester.

STRENGTH 2: Teamwork, Leading without authority, Situation handling:

EXAMPLE:
I’ll relate these strengths to a story from 5th semester where we were assigned a group
project by one of our teacher. A girl from the group was made the leader voluntarily and
we were about to start working on that project, but the leader faced some family issues
because of which she was unable to participate in the project actively. We waited for a
couple of days but as we had less time therefore, I took the responsibility in place of her
and arranged a group meeting where we discussed the whole strategy of how to cover
that project and then divided different tasks among the group members. Every member
gave their 100% and tried their best to come up with the best project. Soon we were
able to complete that project because of our combined efforts and later on we stood
third in that project.

STRENGTH 3: Multitasking, Time management:

EXAMPLE:
I usually have the ability to perform multiple tasks at a time. This can be related to my
schedule from last month when I was having my final exams along with Amal fellowship.
I had to cover my assignments and viva as well as the project works and group tasks of
Amal. Time management was very necessary in such situation as I was having a busy
routine so, I prioritized my tasks according to the deadline and started completing them
accordingly. By doing so I was able to complete all my tasks on time without any delay.
