Assignment 16: What's Your Secret Sauce?
If I had to describe my five unique human capital traits, I would not really know were to to begin. I want to say that I am creative, but I believe that everyone in one way or another is creative. I like to think that I have good leadership skills and have the ability to help meditate between people when necessary. When it comes to project I am always on top of things with organization and scheduling so that it can get done, but those maybe under leadership skills. So I will go with writing; I do end up with grammar issues and spelling, but I would like to think that I can weave a tale when I need to. and lastly I would say that I am ambitious. I always want to see something done and I will see it through till the end.
But my friends had other things to say. Things that I personally didn't consider.
But my friends had other things to say. Things that I personally didn't consider.
My friend and old roommate Anadaisy actually brought up the fact that I am really resourceful. Maybe she used a weird example about my organization pattern with stick notes, but she still had a really good point.
Gerielle discussed how I am family and friend oriented, how I have their back and will do what I can for them. She also discussed how once I get moment one something that I see it through till the end. She talked about my need to learn. How I may not know something but I always willing to find out about it and then keep learning about it even if the one question has been answered. Also the fact that I just know a lot of random fact. One of the nicer think I think she discussed was the fact that I don't let others get to me and I always speak my mind.
This is form my friend Selby and she discussed how I am very empathetic and sympathetic. How I would to walk in other peoples shoes before I judge them. She also described me as caring and not confrontational, but needing to still make sure nothing is wrong between me and others. She talked about my love of biology and big cats. She did bring up how I am creative and work on building stories with my friends as I play dnd.
This is form one of my probably closest fiends she has known me for about 10 years, which she brings up. She talked about my determination. How I don't let anything stop me and how I push to excel in life. That I am caring and I am always willing to help no matter what. But I am also willing to let someone know when they are not doing something right or when they are being stupid. I am going to right that as being outspoken and speaking my mind. She also talked about how I know a lot of random facts and am smart. That I am very easy going and always up for an adventure. That I am a writer and that I love books and how I put my creativity towards Dnd. And how I have let the people around me help shape me in the confident and fearless person I have become.
This is from my other long time friends Tiana, she really wasn't sure what to say. An we originally started talking about how after you have known from one for so long and you are really close to them it's hard to pick out specific traits that make them them. But she eventually came up with this, which pretty much started what everyone else said but all in one section.
Reflection
For me it is kind of easy to reflect on the differences. I personally don't really hold my self up into the light a lot. I hate to talk about myself, I usually find it egotistical, so I am not good at it. An assignment like this I believe is the best way to really stay what my unique qualities are, because I don't know anyone that would know me better. And all the people I keep around me are honestly and outspoken, so I would take their words over my own. They also considered things I would never have thought of. Like Anadaisy, for example, talking about my resourcefulness or Gerielle and how I am family oriented. These are strength but I usually just take them as being part of who I am as a person, not remembering that these are valuable traits that make me an individual.
Honestly all of these in one way or another made me kind of tear up.
Hi Kaitlyn,
ReplyDeleteI find great that you have friends who know you this well. We all need to be reminded how we are with others, and judging by your friends you are a great person. However, I do not think talking about yourself is egotistical, since this is a way to interact with others and create connections. I like how you summarized your interviews and appreciated your honesty. Great post.
Hey Kaitlyn,
ReplyDeleteYou are often the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with, so another way to help to identify who you are is to look at the top trait in your 5 friends that you are with the most. It sounds like ambition is a common trait between your opinion and your friends. That is a great one to have as it is something you are born with and can easily set you apart from the masses.
