Things I like most and least about myself

The thing that I like most about myself is my work ethic. When I begin doing something that I truly have an interest in, I persevere regardless of obstacles and strive to do my best work. This is a quality that has been developed through high school, but in a different way because I was truthfully not interested in the majority of topics studied. In my future academic endeavors I hope that my motivation will rise as I explore areas of interest to me and that are relevant to my own career path.

Though working hard is a valuable quality, over-working is not a good thing. Because I am constantly putting my full effort into what I do, I tend to get caught up in details and spend too much time focusing on small things in attempt to perfect my work rather than making more significant progress in other areas. This is something that I must focus on to maximize my own efficiency in the future.
