Never #1


In high school there are always the Math wizzes, Track stars, perfect figured cheerleaders, and the nerds in AP classes. I was never the best at anything, which hindered my path into college. I liked many things, I loved nothing, but decided to go to college for architecture.

My first and second year of college I began to find my weaknesses, calculus, and my strengths, making hard decisions. It might not be the name of a class, but “making hard decisions” is a skill I will value the rest of my life. It allowed me to switch my major, switch my college, and switch my city. It put me onto a direction that favored a wide range of talents, not one specialty.

If you are one of those people who don’t exceed in only one area, but exceed in adapting to many things, that is your #1.  Many jobs these days require a variety of skills, and if you fail at any one of them it could create a huge gap in your workload. So embrace your many skills, this makes you more versatile, adaptable, moldable, and gives you more of a management mentality.
