I am currently a high school student aspiring to receive a career in Civil Engineering. Ever since I was a child, I have always bombarded myself with certain questions. Who builds these roads? Who builds these bridges? How did someone manage to build these large infrastructures? From this curiosity, I discovered Civil Engineering. Henceforth, I have decided to be a civil engineer because this occupation fascinated me and allows me to help the society that I commune with. Although this career may be difficult to achieve, I will not waver. Promptly after completing the Clifton Strengths Assessment, my top characteristic was achiever. This meant that I am very hard working and productive. My second trait was competition, which means that I always strive to outperform others. My third trait is deliberative, which means that I am very cautious when making decisions and anticipate possible
obstacles. My fourth trait is learner, which means that I am captivated with learning and I am always striving to improve. Finally, my last trait is responsibility, which means that I follow through with my actions and stay committed to my established values (Clifton). Furthermore, I am confident that all these traits will play a vital role in my career choice. First and foremost, since I am very persevering, I will be able to work hard and achieve my career and achieve the goals that I may have within my career. My competitive attitude allows me to outperform my peers within the Civil Engineering field and helps me acquire superior position. Being a learner continuously helps me because it allows me to improve in my career and all aspects of my live. Lastly, since I am also deliberative and responsible, I will be able to make decisive decisions and commit to my goals within my career.
