Whatever It Takes

My favorite personal quality is my self motivation. My self motivation has lead me to accomplishing many difficult goals- from getting straight A’s or simply learning learning the Spanish alphabet- once I set a goal I do not give up until it is achieved. My self motivation makes me extremely determined, and does not allow me to give up on my goals. However, sometimes my motivation can be a bad. Often times I become a little controlling in situations where I have to work with other people. My motivation tells me I have to do things a certain way and it makes it hard for me to cooperate and come to a compromise. My determination can also be a bad thing, because sometimes I set goals too high and become disappointed when I do not accomplish them. The disappointment often leads me to blaming myself for all the things I did not do that would have helped me accomplish my goals. Despite the flaws to this quality, I am very proud to have it. It has helped me to accomplish many things I most likely never would have dreamed of without it, and I know it will help me accomplish many great things in the future.
