# My personal SWOT

I started an MBA about one month ago at the University Of Louisville in Kentucky. The [Innovation MBA is the ranked #25 in the U.S. by the Princeton Review](https://business.louisville.edu/academics-programs/graduate-programs/imba/#:~:text=Ranked%20%2325%20in%20the%20U.S.,only%2030%20students%20per%20cohort.), admission to the program is competitive, with only 30 students per cohort.

During Strategic Analysis by Prof. PhD. <NAME> ([@DanielTHolt](https://twitter.com/danieltholt)) we reviewed the SWOT framework. SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats is a tool generally used by companies to asses themselves and their competitors.

This analysis can be applied to multiple entities, not only companies, but also individuals. In this article I publish my personal SWOT, an analysis of my own Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. After all, each of us is a company itself.

Description of each item:

- _1_: I've always said that _"discipline is my second name"_. Whenever I start something I _usually_ finish it. This is the case of [my Duolingo streak](http://adelriosantiago.com/gitblog/spa/100-duolingo) which started as a 100 day streak that I couldn't stop. As I write this my duolingo streak is of 2320 days. I believe habits are the single most important tool every person has to build his/her future.
- _2_: This is a degree that may be useful to advance my carrer in the area of IT.
- _3_: ...
- _4_: ...
- _5_: I have been investing a lot of time an effort in learning AI and ML. With the most recent step, by getting [ML certified by HarvardX]().
- _6_: I am not afraid to mention it: I am quite unpuctual. And I need to work on this. [I wrote about this before](http://adelriosantiago.com/gitblog/eng/amazing-switzerland). While working in Switzerland I would miss almost every single train. I never realized how different I perceived time until until I lived by the swiss watch.
- _7_: ...
- _8_: I am fully vaccinated (twice with a Pfizer shot). Nevertheless recent mutations have shown COVID to be a threat even to those already vaccinated. Nobody is expempt to randomly dying of COVID. _Unsettling and comical sidenote: [WHO runs out of COVID names, announces new naming system.](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-57308592)_
