  1. 1) my greatest strength is writing poetry. They're more in the rap category. I feel like I can write clever lines and rhyme my ass off better than anyone else. Not cocky just confident. 2) my biggest weakness is controlling my emotions, I don't think I react which isn't good. 3) the hardest physical thing I've ever done is bench 235. I stopped benching so I know 235 isn't a lot. 4) emotionally the hardest thing I've ever done is having to accept that people come and go in my life. 5) the hardest thing I've ever done mentally is enlisting into the army. It's a scary process but I did it. 6) id rather be hurt physically because I can deal with that pain and it'll go away faster I think. I wouldn't handle emotional pain or mental pain good.

  2. My greatest strength is talking to people because they start feeling comfortable with me. My biggest weakness is being big crowds, I start to get red and my speech is horrible. I push myself at the gym which physically test me but also mentally tests me to see how far I can push myself. Leaving my mom would probably be the most emotional thing I went through. I would rather be hurt physically.

  4. the hardest thing I have ever done physically was leg press 350lbs.
    The hardest thing I have ever done mentally was (nothing)
    I had to get over a relationship before so that was the hardest thing I have ever done emoitionally. I'd rather be hurt physically. My greatest strength is forgiving people. I know because I forgave people who didn't deserve my forgiveness. My biggest weakness is giving people the benefit of the doubt. Everyone doesn't deserve that either.

  5. My greatest strength is self reliance because of my independent personality. My biggest weakness is my lack of speaking of how I truly feel about situations that I'm in. Basically being indecisive. The hardest thing I've ever had to do physically is rowing crew, mentally is trying to tell myself that I have do something I don't want to do and emotionally is losing a loved one. Emotionally because I feel like I have more control over my emotions rather than my physic or mental state.

  6. My greatest strength is my mindset definitely. I'm very strong minded. And I don't allow many things to get into my mind. I know what I want, how I want it, when I want it and how I'm going to do it. I would also say my biggest weakness is my mind set. Because I'm so set on perfection sometimes, I screw myself up when I even make to slightest mistake. I know this because I know myself. And besides, my great gran mother always told me that I am my worst enemy and I believe it. The hardest thing physically I've ever done are some of the winter track workouts. I don't think anyone can think of a more mentally and physically challenging workout than Andy. The hardest thing mentally I've ever done is allow myself to be open to people. It's hard for me to really allow myself to be open to people. I think that's why the only person who really knows a lot about me is my best friend. I enjoy having my tough, walls up, impermeable ways. It keeps myself and other safe. Therefore showing who I really am is a challenge. The hardest thing emotionally I've had to do it tell my dad that I've done something to disappoint him. My dad is really my everything. No one means more to me than him. So when I know that I've done done thing that wouldn't make him happy, telling him kills me. I'd rather be hurt emotionally any day. My mind has matured to the point where I have to be hurt physically for it to even bother me, or atleast affect me on a daily. Hurt me emotionally. I'll get over it, simple as that.

  7. My strongest atraubute is that I have always been a great visualizer. I could always see equations in my head and solve complex equations in my head. I haven't had to use my heads for solving addition at all after around fifth grade. My greatest weakness is that I am extremely hotheaded of everything. If someone opposes me and I am debating against them I will be extremely aggressive and sometimes even belittle them.
    Crew or rowing is physically the hardest activity that I had to under go, in one winter season every individual had to row one million meters, it was one rough journey...
    The hardest thing mentally I had ever went through would be taking calculus with Mr.Sawyer. When a teacher neglects their student by not even teaching and proclaiming that this is how a college class would be like and eventually teaching one's self because of this teacher's proclaims would make one's life a legitment hell. Calculus is hard. The biggest impact that happened to me emotionally would be realizing that my mother really didn't care about me. I would rather be hindered physically rather then any other because physical pain could be healed rather easily because mental pain and emotional pain usually deals with the inside and healing what is inside would take a way longer time and the pain that has to be endures would be way to much.

  8. I'm not sure what my greatest strengths or weaknesses are. If I could choose my greatest strength, I would choose the fact that I'm very patient. I see this as a strength because not many people are. It takes a lot for me to get angry and snap on anyone. My weakness would be that I'm sensitive. I guess only because that's a Pisces trait, but I let a lot of things get to me. The hardest thing that I have physically done is probably repair my phone screen. It's way too complicated. Mentally, is going without technology for a few days. That's hard to prepare my mind for because I'm super used to it and have always been since I was a toddler. Emotionally, is letting go of someone who you spoke to almost every single day/night. It doesn't have to be relationship involved. That can pertain to the death of a loved one too. I would rather be hurt physically than mentally or emotionally. I really don't care to be hurt physically, maybe because I hardly ever am hurt physically. Being hurt mentally and emotionally causes me too much stress. I hate to be stressed. I'd rather break a bone than to be hurt mentally and emotionally, but if i was hurt physically, in some cases that can also lead to being hurt emotionally and/or physically.

  9. My greatest strength would be strength itself. Not physical strength, but mental. I have overcome more in my seventeen years than I would like to admit, and at the end of the day, each thing I've overcome has only made me that much stronger. And I know this not because my struggles have become easier, but as time goes on they become more bearable. My greatest weakness, however, is that I feel things way too deeply. I get attached to people and things way too quickly and easily, and I wish that I didn't.
    The hardest physical thing I've ever done is by far conditioning for hockey my freshman year. Going from never working out, to doing full body workouts for four hours everyday for two months straight definitely changed my body and mindset towards high school sports. Mentally, the hardest thing I've ever done was junior year. I had to totally change my attitude towards homework and just school in general. I had to work ten times harder to an A in April Lang than I ever did in honors English 1, I had to stay up late and wake up early to do assignments that I had absolutely no desire to do, which caused a mental breakdown, or two.
    Emotionally, being in a fatal car crash took a toll on everything. Except I couldn't feel sorry for myself because I had to look like I was okay for my mom, which eventually all caught up to me (probably another one of my greatest weaknesses) I pushed all my emotions to the side until I couldn't any longer, and let's just say that was a rough time.
    I'd rather be hurt physically over anything else. Bones and fractures and cuts and bruises all eventually heal, but I can't say the same for emotional or mental damage.

  10. To answer the first two questions, I can't honestly say I don't have any strengths nor any weakness. The reason for that is because your strength can always become your weakness in one point of time and your weakness can become your strength.
    3. I physically watch my daughter have surgery. Now that... That was the hardest thing I ever had to do . Watching doctors put needles in her. Tubes down her throat, etc. Every needle they prick her with, it felt like they was pricking me. Everything they was doing to her Felt like it was happening to me.
    4. Mentally, I been told to change my personality, the way I go about things and the way I speak. That, and still is ,the hardest thing to do only for the simple fact that I been like this my whole life. And changing after all these years mentally is hurting me. If I'm comfortable about the way I go by things and talk , then why would I change so I'll feel uncomfortable. I just don't think this change will ever happen.
    5. Emotionally, I been dragged in the dirt and talked about like a dog by my ex, who I thought loved and cared about me. But I guess it wasn't really nothing between us.
    6. I rather be hurt emotionally because I would be able to recover easily rather then being hurt physically and/or mentally.

  11. My greatest strength is my sense of empathy. Being able to understand and share the feelings of another makes me who I am. Before I judge, I put myself in other people's shoes and try to understand where they're coming from. My biggest weakness is being too nice. I know this because people try to take my kindness for weakness or they get too comfortable. They try to take advantage of me but when I finally say no it's like I'm such a terrible person. You could do a million nice things for someone and the one time you don't they act like you never did a single thing for them. The hardest thing I ever physically done was during my first track season when we did bleachers. I couldn't keep up and by the end my legs felt like they were jello. The hardest thing I ever mentally done was distance myself from someone that I knew didn't deserve my time and wasn't benefiting me in anyway. It was hard for me because I really cared about him but keeping him around wasn't doing me any good. So I had to do what was best for me. The hardest thing I ever done emotionally was leaving behind my childhood and friends when I moved from Ventnor to Mays Landing. I was April of the 6th grade and I remember praying that the rest of the school year would go by slow because I knew I would no longer be driving from Mays Landing to Ventnor once the school year was over. I had to start fresh for the first time in my life. In fact, It was so hard for me to leave my Ventnor life behind that I didn't tell anyone that I was leaving because I couldn't bear to say goodbye to all my loving friends. I would rather be hurt physically because I could always heal and overcome whatever it is, but to be hurt emotionally or mentally is completely different. Emotional pain steals your happiness and takes a whole lot more time to be able to cope with it than a broken leg or something. Mental pain can stay with you in the back of your head forever. For example, I put my trust in someone 2 years ago and they showed me every reason not to trust people. That one situation changed me and made me not be able to fully trust anyone to this day.

  12. My greatest strength is my ability to feel empathy for others. I consider myself to have a big heart and I love love. So my ability to feel for and care about others is very strong. I always am trying to help and willing to listen to others problems it brings me great joy knowing that I can make a difference.


    My greatness weakness is my sensitivity, I am very sensitive and my emotions often get in the way and cloud my better judgment. For example when in the midst of a falling out with a friend or current love interest, my heart can be my worst enemy. I let my emotions be the ruling force in my decision making which is often not a good thing. The fact that I am sensitive is a weakness in my opinion because i think with my heart and everything hurts my feelings so I am not as emotionally strong as I should be.

    The hardest thing I've done physically is my winter track workouts. Winter track is a very demanding program and it takes a lot of physical strength to persevere, running hills, Mitchell Monday's ands grueling warm ups are all apart of the program. When in the midst of a track workout it takes physical strength to keep going, my body has become stronger because of it but it is very hard.

    The hardest I have ever done I have ever done mentally would also be my winter track work outs. The intensity of the workouts not only requires physical capability but a strong mind set as week. Because when my body has given out and is telling that I'm done it is solely the power of my mind that keeps me going. Telling myself that I can finish and make it through carries my body to the finish when physically it seems impossible to go on.

    The hardest thing emotionally I have ever done is loose someone dear to me. I am not speaking about death but just the absence of someone's presence due to an argument or disagreement or whatever. Because to me it hurts more to know that you can still be with someone but they just choose not to be opposed to someone passing away and having no choice but to live without them. I've lost many people in my life , some for the better some not and it has proven to be my biggest emtio al challenge.

    I would rather be hurt physically than mentally or emotionally because physical wounds can heal over time, with the right care but most mental and emotional scars stay with with yuh for life.

  13. If anyone else was asked to answer this question about me, they would say my greatest strength is my ability to not eat meat for six and a half years now. However, eating meat would be harder for me than not and what would be my greatest strength by my definition, is not forcing my views and opinions on others like the crazy person I am on the inside. My greatest weakness is my inability to take control of any situation because of my fear of crossing the line and coming off as a bitch to my peers. I love having power and control but when in a group setting I always hug the very thin line of being in charge and being a control freak. I need to find that happy middle where I can be a leader without people brushing me off completely because I can't seem to control or direct well. When asked what the hardest thing i've had to do physically, I immediately am reminded of the dreaded 500 I had to swim in our last meet ever last year. That is 20 laps and it's a race so it's swimming for a long period of time with the extra anxiety and I came in last place and I have never been so physically tired. There have been harder things but with swim season and all, the 400 is in the forefront of my thoughts in hopes of not swimming it ever again probably. I think the hardest thing that I will ever do mentally is try to understand how people are unkind to animals because that seems so horribly foreign to me and the fact that people go hunting as a real life hobby boggles my mind and trying to understand it will never fully happen. I always get people saying "if you like animals so much why do you eat all their food?" And it's all fun and games till I honestly try to understand if people really believe some of the shit that they say to me about being a veggie. Emotionally, wow um hey Alex! Alex came to my swim meet yesterday and even though I was in front of my entire swim team I ran over to hug him because I miss him so much and I never see his scruffy self anymore. Breaking up with Alex was 100% the thing that had to be done but I don't know when I will get over that boy because I still love him with my whole entire heart. Our relationship was garbage at the end and I know I will never go back to it and that probably makes missing him so much harder. I don't know if I ever won't love him but I do know that seeing him makes me want to cry and I don't exactly know why. Silly feelings. Physically would be my choice because I'm not going to school or anywhere for my psychical abilities in anything. I play sports to be part of something and stay in shape and I already have enough problems with my emotional and mental state there is no way a hit to my sanity would be worth it. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me???? I don't think so.

  14. #1 my greatest strength is my determination in life to succeed in every thing I do even if the odds are stacked against me . My determination helped me achieve above and beyond my goals where people never thought I'd make it to that level.
    #2 my biggest weakness is that I never been a smart student , school has always been a struggle for me while my peers not so much , and being that my sister is the complete opposite of that teachers make assumptions on how I will perform and then judge when I don't meet " their " standards . Like I said school is a weakness for me but I never have thrown in the towel yet and my mind won't let me
    #3 physically the hardest thing I done was a 14mi race up mount killington in Vermont for a spartan beast race . I crossed the finish line first in my age division and 15th overall out of 3000 . My legs were bruised , cut , up , and cramped to the point of unbearable pain but I still made it and got my medal . I wear a paracord bracelet of my 3 spartan races that awarded me my first trifecta , I look down and tell myself that after I put my body through so much abuse anything is possible .
    #4 mentally the hardest thing I ever done had to be passing all 3 years of math in high school . Being that I'm dyslexic it's hard for me to solve equations and read sometimes . In English it's easy for me to get confused when reading words on a page if the letters keep jumping around but I just learn to read things more than once and to use common sense on what the word might be , but when it comes to math its always been harder . When you try looking at a problem one second and the next second the numbers are all scrambled around its hard to tell what the original problem really was . I count my blessings because passing math might have been an act of God .
    #5 emotionally the hardest thing for me was being isolated and having to deal with my parents splitting up at the same time . Last year was one of the hardest years of my life no doubt about it . I was so angry all the time with my mom crying every night and me having to comfort her to my dad and me ready to fight at a moments notice . Plus my friends all went to college and it's hard making new friends when there's no friendly faces to look out towards . In a sense I'm glad I went through that year because it made me a stronger man emotionally but still I never want to experience it again because it was a complete mind fuck .
    # getting hurt mentally and emotionally can really put a deep cut in someone that will never heal . You can see it in solders during any war with PTSD . After all the stuff they seen .... You rather lose a limb than your own mind because your never the same after be emotionally and mentally scared . That's why I rather suffer physically .

  15. My greatest strength is my resilience. I don't stop until I get the outcome that I want. My biggest weakness is my temper. I get mad really easily and some people enjoy making me mad on purpose just so they can get a reaction. The hardest thing I've ever done physically, mentally, and emotionally is sit and talk to my father about how I felt about everything and then not being able to punch in his mouth for lying. I Would rather be hurt physically than mentally or emotionally. Because physical pain goes away faster than mental or emotional pain.

  16. My greatest strengh would be my cuminication. I know this because I able to become friends with virtually anybody. Also I can be anywhere and start a decent conversation with anybody. My biggest weekness would be my lack of motivation. I have to dig deep down to find the motivation to do simple things that would help me in the long run. If I had more motivation i would have more then I have now. The hardest thing I've ever done physically was stay up 2 days. I didn't want to but I had to and it wasn't fun. The hardest thing I did mentally was jump off a balcony. I knew I wasn't going to get hurt but just mentally it looked high and I thought I was going to get hurt. The hardest thing I did emotionally was watch my mom move to Kentucky. I'd rather be hurt physically can that can heal on its on and the pain will eventually go away. Unless you have polio. Then you in pain for your whole life.

  17. My greatest strength is the ability to thing of ways to think and get out of a situations, my biggest weakness is keeping my true feeling and things I think about all bottled up inside me. The hardest done I've don't physical was and hour piece on an erg machine for crew, and emotionally was when my dad confronted me about sneaking out. I would rather be physically hurt then emotionally because i can't take the stress of having something emotionally happen to me.

  18. My greatest strength is being able to control and repress my emotions on the spot and keep them that way. My greatest weakness is my nerves. Anxiety is the only thing I can't control.the hardest thing I've ever done Is working out with my dad. I would rather be hurt physically as it goes away faster.

  19. My greatest strength is my understanding of people, their motives, and their reasons for doing the things they do. However at the same time i understand my greatest weakness, which happens to collide with my strength at the same time. I tend to think too deeply and come up with too many possibilities for why someone did something. My greatest physical test came one day when i was surfing in a storm. The waves were too choppy about an hour in, and it got tiring, my arms were getting too sore to move and when I looked at the beach i was about 4 blocks south of where i started. I had to paddle out to where the water was calm, paddle up the beach and catch a wave in. I got to shore and my shoulders hurt more than anything i have ever felt. My greatest test of mental strength was when my grandfather died. My whole family was crying and mourning, and my sister looked at me crying and bawling her eyes out wondering what to do. I put everything that I was feeling aside and helped her deal with her emotions that she couldn't understand at that young of an age. Emotionally that hardest thing i have ever done was breaking up with Jenna because things weren't right with our relationship. It took a lot of will power and courage to end something that lasted so long, but it was for the better for both of us. If i could choose I would be harmed physically because that wound is easier to heal. If i were to be harmed mentally or emotionally it would most likely take therapy and a much longer time to get over.

  20. My biggest strength is I can talk to anyone no matter who it is I can have a full on conversation with them. I know this by I talk to almost everyone I come into contact with,I'm and extremely friendly person. My weakness is I love to push people buttons, I'll push people to there limits because u think it's hilarious. I guess it's just the inner punk in me I love it. The hardest physical think I have done is probably the ride home from Vermont with a broken leg Ina truck all crammed crying the whole time. The hardest thing mentally was to get over all the money I have lost in my life it's extremely rough mentally. Emotionally is my dad leaving and never hitting you up for months, any of his kids at that point. Worst physically was breaking my leg when I was skiing in 5th grade

  21. I believe my greatest strength is my ability to make bad situations into good ones. I usually find positivity in the most negative situations and it's enough to help people get by. People usually come to me for comfort when they are sad.
    My biggest weakness is expecting too much from people. I'm not saying people are all weak and have low self esteem but I do so that I expect more than someone is capable of providing sometimes. The hardest thing I've physically done is probably getting a shot in my ass. It was a penicillin shot and I can't even explain how painful that shit was. I was over taken by complete anger. I'm not sure why it was so bad but I reacted as if I were getting tazed. My hardest mental thing to get over was probably my first break up, but yanno, there's more than one girl in the world. Leaving someone is probably the hardest emotional thing I've ever done but it was for the better and it had to be done. I'd rather be hurt physically because you are able to heal much quicker and realistically from it. I've broken may bones and they are all healed up fine.

  22. My greatest strength would have to be the way that I am able to accept everyone for the way they are. I'm not the type of person to have enemies and I rarely get into fights with my friends or anyone really. I am able to accept people for the just the way they are and I feel that is a rare quality among people today. My greatest weakness would be that I'm very indecisive when making decisions. I over think everything and can never make my mind up when I have to make a decision. The hardest thing I've ever had to do, physically, would be working so hard this past summer to start on varsity for volleyball. I also worked myself really hard so that I could make the club team that I wanted this year. The hardest thing for my mentally would be getting through my junior year. The classes I took pushed me to my breaking point and made my mentality stronger in school. The hardest thing emotionally would be going through this past summer and losing my friend. I've never felt more helpless than I did this past summer and it's still hard for me today. I feel like I would rather be hurt physically because I'm a very emotional person and going through that kind of pain hurts me more. When my feelings are hurt I feel more pain than being sore from volleyball or punched in the face.

  23. I hate to sound conceded but I feel like providing some type of backing to my response is the only for my blog to make sense. So question 1.) what is your greatest strength. As a kid (and even today), I very much disliked conformity. Unoriginality makes me sick. Whenever we were assigned projects, I made it a point to go above and beyond everyone's expectations. This one time in the fifth grade I was scolded by my teacher for being "too original". The assignment was we had to pretend to be business men and women and sell a product to the class. For my presentation, I created this comical one women skit/commercial selling the beverage "very berry". By the end of the skit, my class was in tegars (from laughing) and I got a standing ovation. Unfortunately I didn't receive the same recognition from my teacher but my grade didn't bother me, I was proud of the respect I received from my peers. With that said, my greatest strength is my creativity. I hate doing the same thing as everyone else and I put my heart and soul into creative based projects. My biggest weakness is my laziness. That kinda goes contrary to what I said but if didn't spend so much time dicking around doing pointless shit, my grades would be higher and my projects would be better. I'm smart and I know that, but I'm lazy. It honestly scares me how lazy I am because I'm afraid that it will ruin my ambition. I have the capability to become something great, I just can't find the strength to get off my ass sometimes.

    The most challenging thing I've ever done physically was get my adult black belt. I don't like talking about being in martial arts for several reasons. But yeah, it was an incredibly painful feat. The final part of my test was to fight my Sensai and that went on for 15 consecutive minutes. Sensai is a grown ass man who's been in martial arts longer than I've been alive. He also had three other grown ass men fight me simultaneously. He let me take breaks every few minutes. Those breaks consisted of push ups and sit-ups, which was much better than fighting four men as hard as I could. I didn't think I was gonna make it but I did. The months leading up to that fight was hard too. But I'll never forget the amazing experience I had preparing for my belt. It was physical, mental, and spiritual. I grew so much from it and it made me a better person. Mentally, figuring out a way to bullshit the APUSH exam. And just any difficult standardized test such as that.

    Emotionally, getting over some trauma I had after my car accident. It was completely my fault and I knew that the second I hit the other car. I think the trauma came in when I thought I killed the other driver. I've was having nightmares prior to that day about unintentianally killing innocent people an automobile accidents. I didn't think those dreams would come true. I got the same sickening feeling I got during my nightmares. I don't know how to describe this feeling except that it was sickening. I was disoriented and I called my parents and they weren't picking up and I was calling all my friends and they weren't picking up and I just wanted someone I knew there with me. Shout out to Brandon Warren for driving to the accident to be with me. I'll never forget it. Also shout out to Sebby for letting Brandon borrow his car. I'm an emotionally strong person so getting over the trauma was something I could do on my own.

    I would most certainly prefer being hurt physically because it seems as if those scars heal easier than emotional scars. You remember when someone hurts you emotionally. You try to get over it but the pain may always kinda be there. With physical scars, you just put a band aid on that shit and call it a day. "Suck it up butter cup" I tell myself.

  24. 1. My greatest strength is Determination because Basketball I'm always striving to get better. No matter how hard the work out i always determined to get that extra practice in whenever I have free time . My determination help me achieve my goals when nobody belived in me and push me to be who I am today.
    2. My biggest weakness is believing in myself because I stress I think I'm not good enough to make it . I always say what if, what if ,instead of believing I'll be fine .
    3. The hardest physical thing I did before was lose 15 pounds during the first week of basketball season. Pushing myself to be the in the best shape I can be .
    4. The hardest emotionally thing I ever did was watch my grandma lay in bed in pain fighting cancer. It was tough because I wish I could give her some of strength. She was my Wonder Woman and it's still bothering till this day that she's gone.
    5. The hardest mentally thing I ever did was giving up football. Even though I loved football I just felt it wasn't for me anymore but if I had the chance to go back for my senior year I would.
    6. I think I would rather be emotional hurt because I already been through that with my grandma passing , girls breaking my heart, and doing bad in basketball. Yes it will hurt for a while but I'll get over it some day . It's a part of life we all been through it u get hurt and u learn for your mistake and make sure it never happens again.

  25. 1) My greatest strength is writing poetry, prose, and music. Ever since I was little and could reach a keyboard I have been playing music and studying music. I jumped from one instrument to another, unfortunately never fully mastering one. Poetry is incredibly strong for me as well because I have been consistently writing poetry for 3 to 4 years and love every part.
    2) My greatest weakness is Mathematics, Chemistry, Emotional stability and dealing with arrogant people. It's a mix because I am not a math or science person. There are two types of people in this world, math and science people vs. writing and history people. I am the writer.
    3) The hardest physical thing I have ever done was ride my bike four miles to work for the first time. It was laboring, painful, and actualized how unfit I really am. I began doing it more and then I started getting more physically fit.
    4) The hardest mental challenge was to pass Honors Chemistry. I admire Mr. Matlack and the person he is. However, his class didn't interest me, i didn't connect with the lessons and it became the hardest academic year of my life because of it.
    5) The hardest emotional challenge I overcame was dealing with the break up I had to go through with my ex girlfriend back in February. I was an emotional mess, my anxiety shot through the roof, I was stressed, I cried and I am grateful I had someone there to ask me if I was okay every night, even if I wasn't.
    6) I would rather be hurt mentally. I say that because education to understand motivates me. So when I'm hurt mentally, I want to become better. I want to be a better human being because of how I am. I want every experience I have to be a growing moment for me. I want to learn from every moment. Mentally coping would be easier.

  26. My greatest strength is my determination. I know this because when I want something I won't stop until I obtain it. My biggest weakness is not being able to say no. Even if it's something I really don't want to do I'll usually still say yes. This is my biggest weakness because it has got in the way of me doing things I really want to because I'm stuck doing something I don't want to, but it was the right thing to do. Physically the hardest thing I ever had to do was perform in months of soccer games. Towards the end of each season I wonder if I'll still be alive because it is so physically draining. Mentally the hardest thing I ever had to do was say goodbye to my Mommom. She was my neighbor and she was there for everything throughout the first seventeen years of my life. So the hardest thing to do was tell myself that I would never get to see her face, or hear her voice or feel the warmth from her hugs ever again. Emotionally, the hardest thing for me is to lose people in my life. I don't do good with goodbyes. I would rather be hurt physically because I know my body can recover. Whereas, emotional and mental hardships can be harder than anything to recover from.

  27. 1) My greatest strength? I seriously hate question. I don't believe I really have one. I think at this point in my life I'm still looking for my greatest strength. There has been moments in my life where I say "Wow! You're really good at this!" Then in the long run it turns out to be a mockery. So my greatest strength...don't have one.

    2)My biggest weakness is a simple one. I truly believe I'm filled to the rim with weakness, it just comes down to picking the weakest. I think my biggest weakness is my over spill over tears. I cry all the time and I hate it. I especially hate it when I'm angry. That's the worst. One day I was so heated in AOP talking about girls wearing makeup,from the discussion I felt tear pool it my eyes. I feel as though people don't take me serious when I cry.

    3) The hardest physical thing I have ever done is losing weight. I hate the way my body looks. Losing weight is hard. My freshman year I was alway weighing myself and constantly trying to look slimmer. That was the same year I lost 30 pounds. Now it seems even harder. I wont continue talking about it because who knows it might bring itself up in another blog.

    4) The hardest thing mentally that I have to over come is the pursuit of positivity. It's so easy for me to be negative. I usually fail at everything I have tried for, so keeping a positive look on things is hard. Epically when the negatively is about my looks. I have been trying for the past year to feel more positive in the body I have and try to keep an open mind. It is still a hard battle within myself to mentally stay positive.

    5) The hardest thing emotionally I have over come is the situation with Asshole.
    He broke my heart and crushed my limb by limb. I hate talking about him because I realize how stupid I was for wanting to be with him. 8 months ago he was all I thought about. Now I shiver at just hearing his name. Getting over him was such a bitch to do. I don't know how it did but time did heal my wound.

    6) If I had to choice what pain I would be in I would chose physical. Even though I'm the biggest sissy when it comes to physical pain, it is easier to repair. Fixing myself emotionally and mentally is a lot harder to recover from. Those damages can last a lifetime, while a physical damage could heal in a few months.

  28. 1. My greatest strength, according to my mother, is the sympathy and compassion. I never knew this until recently, when my best friend told me through tears, “No one wants to sit and take care of their sick friend, but you were here in a second. You are such an amazing friend and I want you to know that.” In all honesty, I didn’t think anything of it. My friend was in need, so why wouldn’t I lend a hand?
    2. On the other hand, my greatest weakness is my awful ability to overcome procrastination. I have a terrible habit of pushing everything off until the very last minute and cause myself more stress than imaginable. However, I have to thank my procrastination for some of my greatest essays.
    3. Physically, the hardest thing I have ever done was when I was on a swim team. I knew I loved to swim ad didn’t think that it would require the amount of stamina that it did.
    4. Mentally, the hardest thing I have ever done was getting through my junior year. Everyone explained how it was “the most important year of you high school career” and I took that all with a grain of salt until I sat up until 2am most night of the week doing homework. I had to cut out many things I once enjoyed and my stress levels skyrocketed.
    5. Emotionally, the hardest thing I have ever done was overcoming heartbreak. I never want to say that my heart was broken into pieces by some teenage boy that I fell head over heels for. However, I have to. One day everything was going great and then the next day, gone, like I never existed.
    6. If I could choose my pain, I would go for physical. Physical wounds heals with scars, and behind every car is a story of survival. However, mental and emotional scars tend to heal much slower and the after effects are much deeper.
