1) Emotional Intelligence- I have always been extremely intuitive and can read the environment around me very well. I have always thought this was a special trait and it has come in very handy over the years when I have had to adapt to different situations.
2) Analytical- I have always loved problem-solving and prefer math classes over writing classes. I love doing puzzle games on my phone and like to gather information and understand the small pieces that make the big picture.
3) Organized- I like to have my days planned out and enjoy having my items organized and put together in a practical and efficient order. I also have good time-management skills and have everything I need on me at all times.
4) Hard-working- I have always been a hard-worker and will put 100% effort into something I decide to do. I always strive for good grades and try to find ways to better myself and others by having a good work ethic.
5) Creative- I love art and reading different books and getting absorbed in all different types of cultures. I enjoy drawing different things and imagining scenarios. I am always open to learning new knowledge and methods of doing things.

Reflection:
I was surprised to see that most of the people I interviewed saw me the same way I saw myself. The only difference I noticed was my social ability to bring people together. I think this difference is because I can't see myself in social interactions the way my peers do. I agree with what my interviewees said about me because they are very similar to what I said about myself. Most of the people I talked to also said I was a hard-worker. I think this is because I have always been driven and love making sure that I put all my effort into everything I do. I wouldn't make any changes to my list because I think it is very accurate.
Kendall, I find that we are similar in the sense that we both posses the human capital of hard work and organization. I think both of these are extremely important in the real world and a workplace where you need to meet deadlines and hold yourself accountable. Especially as an entrepreneur, no one is going to tell you what to do, and as your own boss you have to work diligently to succeed.
ReplyDeleteHey Kendall, I can agree with the values of perseverance and creativity due to their wide potential applications in various tasks alike and its scarcity in the workforce also help promote its value. Overall well articulated and structured!
ReplyDeleteKendall,
ReplyDeleteI love that your perception of yourself is close to what your friends and family see! Hopefully it creates a confidence for you that works with your drive to accomplish all you fight for!
It's interesting that of all things, social skills is what you didn't expect to see in yourself, despite seeing so much good. It just goes to show the insecurity that is born of social interaction. Try to remember that you have the skills to socialize in tough situations, that way you can nip that little bit of uncertainty out of the way and keep accomplishing everything you want!
Kendall,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading this post and I can tell you spent a lot of time reflecting on the skills you bring to the table and what makes you different. A lot of people struggle with self-reflection and depend on other people to tell them what sets them apart. Instead, you are quite aware of your capabilities, and they have been confirmed by your family and friends.
