Self and social awareness help me to know my strengths, work on my weaknesses, and reflect on my mistakes. When trying to be success you must have the ability to accept and interact with opinions and accept criticism from others in a professional manner. It’s very important that I learn to improve and accept different views. This would also help me when applying for a higher position in the future.
