1. Describe five ways in which you think you have human capital that is truly unique.
- I think that as a person I stand up for myself so much. This can be a good thing and a bad thing. I don't let people walk all over me, but I also probably confront situations that could've been left alone. I am still proud of this trait because I will never accept someone talking down to me or putting me down.
- Another thing that I think is unique about me is that I take responsibility for my actions and words. When I realize I'm wrong, I admit it right away. When I make a mistake, I do whatever I can to fix it. I feel like I am always the first to admit my faults.
- I think that I am also a very understanding person. I am very accepting of people of all kinds, and I would never look down on or turn away someone just because they're different. I think that I can also put myself in peoples' shoes and try to understand where they were coming from in all kinds of situations.
- I am also someone who is brutally honest, which again, can be a good thing and a bad thing. Sometimes I tell people the things they want to hear, but I don't think I ever go too far. I'm always honest with how I'm feeling in friendships and relationship and I always make my feelings known.
- The last thing I'll mention is that I'm very passionate about my interests. I'm a musician and I'm studying music here at UF and I am able to put my all into it because of how much I love it. My passion for it drives me and motivates me to do the best I can in it and become as successful as I can.

3. I think that I see myself in a similar way to how others see me. A lot of the things I said before I conducted the interviews were the same things that the people in my interviews said about me. I honestly don't think there are really any differences in how I assessed myself compared to how others assessed me. A lot of them brought up traits about myself that I wouldn't have thought of off the top of my head, like when Shannon said I adapt well. I think that what caused the fact that people brought up things I wouldn't have thought of is that other see things that I never really noticed. I didn't notice that I adapted well, but I guess because Shannon is different from me and would've handled the situation I was in differently, she takes extra notice in how I handled it. I do think that the people I interviewed are correct about me, because like I said, we said a lot of the same things. Going back to my list from part 1, I don't think I'd change it. I don't think I'd change it because the people I interviewed confirmed basically everything I said about myself.
We have some similarities and differences in what people said about us. I also had people tell me that I always do my best, that I'm hard working and determined, and that I am passionate about what I do. My mom also said that I take responsibility for my actions. Something different is that you don't dwell on things, where I can unfortunately. Someone also said you are good at balancing things in your life, which I feel that I am ok at but definitely could work on it, as sometimes my priorities might not be what they should.

ReplyDeleteHi Kimberly,
ReplyDeleteI agree and think it is interesting to see the way that others portray us. In my interviews I also saw that my friends came up with different things on my list, but were also true about me.I also interviewed my mom and I think she got the most spot on description of me most likely because she's known me the longest. I loved to see all the positive things my friends and family said about me.
Hi Kimberly,
ReplyDeleteI think we are similar in the aspects of being understanding and passionate about the subjects that we are highly interested in. I am different in the fact that I cannot be that honest with people because sometimes honesty can really hurt a person. I also would not change anything in my list because I believe that my list is fairly accurate and portrayed through the interviews that I conducted. It seems like the assignment went really well for you, and I am glad that you were able to see all the positive words that people have for you!
