- I am a perfectionist and seek to always have things go perfectly. This is unique because I am very detail oriented and will give my 100% effort into everything I do to ensure perfect quality.
- I am extremely driven and motivated. Once I set my mind to something or get an idea in my head, it is very hard for me to stop. I have often even been called obsessive, for lack of a better word.
- I am very good at multitasking. I can do many things at once and still do them all very well. This allows me to save time and get as much done as possible.
- I am very studious and hard working. I am good at devoting myself to studying. I can distance myself from the rest of the world for hours at a time and focus only on my work.
- I see the best qualities in people. I am very positive and see the good rather than the bad. This helps me to be emotional and relate well with others. I also always look on the bright side of situations even if they are bad.
Interviews:
1. Christina said that she thinks I am empathetic and emotional. She thought that I was caring and always willing to help out others with anything!
2. Haley talked about my devoted study skills. She said that she always sees me focused and wishes that she had more of this quality.
3.Jennifer thinks that I have an inability to say NO to people. This causes me to always be the "go-to" person but it also shows that I am personable. She thinks that it shows I am willing to take on any task.
4. Savannah said that I pay close attention to small details. She thinks that I try my hardest to make sure everything I do is exactly the way I want it and close to perfect.
5.Maddie said that I am a leader and take charge of many situations. She thinks I am good at organizing and influencing large groups of people.
Reflection:
How I see myself and how others see me is both similar and different. There are definitely a lot of similarities such as my perfectionism and positivity. I said that I think I am positive and see the best in people. My friends said that they feel as though I am empathetic and caring. I think that these are two qualities that are different but tie into each other. My caring and empathetic personality helps me see the best qualities in people. I did not think about my study skills being a good quality that differentiates me but after hearing my friend talk, I think that it is a good one. A lot of students have trouble focusing and getting work done on time. By being able to do the opposite, it sets me apart and ahead of many others. I do not think that I would make any corrections but maybe a few additions. I would probably talk about being empathetic in my first example and add in how being detail oriented helps me be driven and motivated.
It seems as though you got some pretty good feedback from your friends. I know that I can relate when it comes time to say no, especially when I work. I pick up a ton of shifts and I am known as the go to girl for that. It always helps to hear feedback from our friends so we know how to improve ourselves and even get some much needed confidence and motivation.
ReplyDeleteI think that, like most of us, you have certain characteristics that are obvious to the people around you, and certain characteristics that you alone may recognize. I also mentioned empathy as an important personal characteristic that I hope and believe I do have. It's such an important personal quality that truly sets people apart. Clearly, you also have serious determination and a talent for leadership. Great interviews and reflection!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had some of the qualities that you do because I am terrible at studying, lol. I do seem to get motivated and really push myself to finish something that I start once I start it. I agree that adding empathetic to your original list may have been a good change because quite a few people seemed to recognize that with what they said.
