Strength
Based on the eight habits of mind that “The Framework for Success in Post-Secondary Writing” discusses, the habit of flexibility is my strength for my college success.
For instance, when I have essay assignments I can adapt to the different types of essays. Therefore, writing a narrative is different to writing a research paper. In a narrative we can use I’s, you’s, use punch dialogue, and sounds. For example, when I had to learn how to write a narrative essay, it was hard for me at first. After many attempts, I was a lot better and did a good narrative essay in high school classes.

Even as a college student I am not involved in volunteer activities. As of result, I lost all the money from scholarships fund by not involving activities in high school. Essential for college success I think two of the eight habits are necessary for college success. All college students need flexibility and engagement habit to be successful in college. For example, we all need engagement in our academic success and future living. People are judged by whether they are participating or not.
