- I think I am empathetic because I like to approach situations and conflicts through more than one side. I can easily adjust and see other people's point rather than being stubborn and thinking that only one point is right.
- I grew up in a single-parent household. My mom took care of me and my five other siblings. I learned to not be greedy with the stuff that I want because family is important and I cannot be selfish with what I want.
- I am very well-off with technology in terms of typing. I actually won business keyboarding in middle school and high school and going to national because of it. It was a really fun time, and typing fast is what I was known for.
- I think I am pretty involved with the stuff that I love. I have huge passion and overly committed to the point where I get burnt out. It is a double edge sword, but I really enjoy the hobbies and activities that I commit.
- I like to be proactive with my work. I do not like to slack away because if I slack then nothing is going to accomplished.
My Friends' Comments about My Secret Sauce
- Darwin
- He said I was very passionate about my hobbies. I am very dedicated and do not slack off which I very much appreciate hearing!
- Ethan
- He called me studious and I was surprised to hear that because I do not spend as much time as I want to due to my involvement with many of the clubs and activities.
- Henry
- He talks about my involvement and tells me how dedicated I am! I am very appreciative to hear that, as he is my little and I try to encourage people to be involved with the clubs that I am involved in!
- A friend (She did not want to be recorded at the moment, so I was unable to do so!)
- She talked about how fast I typed and how I "thunder through the keyboard." I am actually happy that someone acknowledges it because I type like 140 words per minute or around that range! She also complimented my leadership skills.
- Lisa
- Lisa mentions where I do not brag to people about my grades or anything which I am very appreciative to hear! It relates back to the part where I learned not to be greedy about the stuff that I desire.

Reflection
I think hearing all of these from other people helps me validate my own opinions about myself. I sometimes think that I am not doing enough, but hearing people talk about me in their honest opinion makes me happy rather than sad! I hope to strive to do better and become a better reflection of myself rather than stopping at any point.

Hey dan,
ReplyDeleteYou did a good job identifying your five special skills, but I'd have like to see this done with consideration of context. I think all 5 of your skills are unique and personal, but how do they contribute to creating your innovative idea? As a follow up, I would consider how to capitalize on these skills to bring your innovative idea to fruition. Additionally, maybe consider five qualities that put you t a disadvantage, in order to help mitigate risk.
Hope this helped!
