Weaknesses

[Rhye]

I have been trying to prep for grad interview and I hear they might ask that question. Been having a hard time with it. I have come up with a big weakness-I don't trust people a lot and that affects me when it comes to working with others in any way because I burden myself with things because I don't trust they will get it done....or I burden myself with stress wondering if they will do their part. Also, I have a hard time stepping out and doing new things unless guided.

I prepared myself for this questions but they never asked me. I was mostly asked about why I studied two separate majors and why I choose the program.


I had mentioned my weakness in my statement of purpose. I told them, I struggled with reading and writing all of my life. That weakness has helped me get to where I am today. I used to be ashamed of it, but now I use it to my full advantage when working with children, because I can understand them, relate to them, and help them achieve their academic goal.

As for other weakness: I need to be control of my life. If I feel I am not in control, I cannot function. Its a horrible way to live, but I am slowly letting things be without always worrying.

I squeaked by barely.

I have no weaknesses.

No. Seriously. I can't think of anything. At all.

I think my greatest weaknesses tie into strengths that I have; how I handle them determines whether I'm using a strength or falling to a weakness.

But honestly, of course, they don't want to hear a "real weakness" because then it will be a reason why to not accept you. .

True.
