confident my
skills are
good enough
even though
I will try my best. I have been
working here
for more
than a year
now.

up for it by

But it is really hard to get along
with her, and I am not the only one
who thinks so!
I do not have the
ability to get along
with other
personality types,
and I blame others
instead of trying to
fix anything myself.

9. Business Club
I know it was late but I did
everything I could to get it
done on time! I even
worked on it at home and
got others to help me and
it is not my fault and blah
blah blah blah blah.
Not only is my assignment
late, but I refuse to take
responsibility for it.

10. Business Club
I know I did not get
the sale but there
was nothing I could
have done.
Not only did I not make the sale but I won’t even try
to see what I can learn from this, nor will I work hard
to improve my sales skills.
