1) To describe myself in five ways I would say: Caring, driven, passionate, hard-working, and organized. I would describe these words for myself because I feel like I possess them in all facets of life, rather than one specific thing. I believe that these things set me apart from everyone else because not every has all five of these traits and actually mean it. I feel like my maturity, drive, and overall life experience allows me to be the person I am.
3) After these interviews I have learned that others see me a little different, yet also the same as I see myself. Everything them mentioned about me I would use to describe myself, yet I feel like they were nicer, and more poistive about myself than I would be when describing my own traits. I feel like our views aligned when comparing myself and how I see myself to the things they said about me. I think the only differences would be their viewpoint as a friend of mine versus how I see myself in the world because I do not necessarily view myself as a friend. One person in particular described me as someone who is caring and always reaches out, yet that is something I do not necessarily think about because it is just, well, me. I do think my interviewees are correct about me and described me in a way that I enjoyed being talked about. I would not change my list from part 1 simply because they were mentioned by my interviewees and really describe who I am.
Hello Danielle,
ReplyDeleteFrom your post, I can see that you are humble, and that is what I believed for myself as well when I interviewed my people. Like how you never realized you do those certain actions as to being caring and always reaching out, it happens instinctively. Great post, and keep going at what you do, being the best version of yourself, to achieve your goals.
Hey Danielle, the traits that describe were actually similar to mine. One that really stood out was the trait 'driven'. Many people lack this and just expect things to be handed to them. Being driven makes you want to earn everything you have. In terms of people describing you as nicer than you think, it's probably because as college students we're a lot more critical of ourselves and often seem to focus too much on personal flaws. Great post!
ReplyDeleteHey Danielle, you did a great job with this assignment, and listed many things that describe yourself. It was interesting hearing your point about seeing yourself not as a friend, compared to how your friends do see you as. It's interesting to see how that's just how you are, compared to how other people see the manifestations of that. Great job with the blogpost!
ReplyDeleteHello Danielle,
ReplyDeleteWhile some of your traits were not similar to mine, one that does is our drive. I wonder if you have your drive because of your passions or because it is instinctual. My drive comes from my up-bringing and I always have it no matter what I do. Anyways, I believe some people might see you different because you might be too harder on yourself. Maybe, they aren't being more positive because studies show that we tend to be harder on ourself than anyone else.
I can agree with how your personal thoughts about yourself can be very different to what others think of you as. I talked about this a bit in my post and I feel like you view yourself differently because only you know what challenges you've faced in life personally and how you act around different people so the only person that knows your truest self is you. Nevertheless, your outlook will always be different than what others think.
