My first strength is kindness. Since I am mostly surrounded by children, kindness allows them to like me and feel comfortable around me. The last strength is listening, I listen to all my friends if they need someone to talk to. Listening allows me to be their support system. While I have several strengths, there are also some challenges. Some of these challenges are similar to the lives of St. Francis and St. Clare. Some of my challenges involve deciding whether I made the right choice and being able to manage change. There are many events in my life where I wasn't sure if I made the right decision or not. For example, I recently changed majors and wasn't sure if I made the right choice and if my parents would be okay with it. This is similar to the life of St. Francis because he kept changing what he wanted to do with his life and wanted his parents' approval. Francis was still his father's son, unconsciously pursuing what his father valued: reputation, status, and wealth (Sweeney, 2014, p.34). Francis wanted it to make his father proud, but as time went on he knew what he wanted to do even if his parents might not agree. Francesco always questioned himself in the decisions he frequently made (Egler, October 2015). Another challenge is the ability to manage change. I have a hard time accepting change because I usually like the way things are. I don't like change that I have no control over
