Tell us about an area of weakness you would like to improve while attending the University of Tennessee.

"I believe I could improve my written and verbal communication skills as I tend to be longer-winded than I would like. I enrolled in a week-long workshop this summer, intending to become a more eloquent communicator. I hope to gain skills in this workshop that I can continue to utilize during my university career."

Perhaps you are watching TED talks to gain skills in a particular area, reading the latest-and-greatest book on the subject, or taking a seminar at a nearby community center. We are all human with our weaknesses, so don't be afraid to share yours!
