1) Describe five ways in which you think you have human capital that is truly unique. What is it about you, exactly, that makes you different? Write this up in a detailed list.
1. Empathy: I think actively listening and processing what the other person is saying can make you a more empathic person. While the other person is talking, I think about what they are saying and how they are feeling instead of thinking to myself what I am going to say next. This skill has made me into someone people come to talk too.
2. Organizational Skills: I LOVE planning. I set up routines, write in my planner and am very goal oriented which helps me get all my tasks done on time.
3. Disciplined: I feel as though I know exactly what it takes to get tasks done and how much time it will take me. I know when to say "no" and how much work I can handle at once.
4. Harmony: I tend to steer groups of people away from confrontation. New ideas are very integral to anything but I do like to find the common ground between people. I prefer to be more practical rather than arguing and debating.
5. Loyal: When I am committed to something/someone, I am committed. I finish everything to the best of my ability. I treat my friends with respect and am always by their side for when they need me.

Rachel's Interview: Rachel is in my sorority and she is rooming with me next year. She describes me as someone who she can always count on and someone who puts time and energy into everything.
Rob's Interview: Rob, my dad, has known me my whole life and coached my softball team for 3 years. He knows how I am most productive when I have structure and routine. I am such a planner/organizer so when he says I understand I must achieve levels of repetition and preparation to get the outcome I desire, that is more than true.
Hannah's Interview: Hannah is my current roommate and we are also rooming together next year. She describes me as someone who is intentional and passionate about everything I do.
Sydney's Interview: Sydney is in my sorority and is rooming with me next year. She describes me as someone who is very proactive with getting work done ahead of time and doing the extra work that goes unnoticed.
Kaylee's Interview: Kaylee is my big in my sorority and one of my best friends. She knows how I value quality in my work/friendships and how I have an intense work ethic.
Reflection: I believe my view of myself and others view of me is pretty similar. I know I am such a structured and planned out person. A common theme was how reliable and intentional I was which really made me feel good about myself as I strive to have those two qualities. I would not make any corrections to my list.
Hi Grace! I really like how your interviews went. The people you interviewed sounded like they know you really well. I like how they all described your strict work ethic and how hard-working you are. My interviews went the same way, with most of them mentioning my perseverance. My view of myself were similar to theirs as well.
ReplyDeleteHi Grace,
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your post. It was very detailed and I realized the list you created was very similar to mine. I also see myself as being very empathetic and emotionally intelligent. It is interesting that the list you created almost matches perfectly with what others said about you. When I was doing my interviews, the things people said about me was very different from the list I created in the beginning.
Hey Grace!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your interviews it looks like you have gathered a lot of useful information about your strengths. I think its great that you picked people who were very close to you in order to get accurate information. I agree with you that being reliable and intentional are great qualities to have. Keep up the good work(:
