What I think makes me different:
- - Perseverance, doing what needs to be (or should be) done even if uncomfortable or tired.
- - Openness to many perspectives; can see situations from many different angles.
- - Desire to learn and accelerate my learning rather than stay comfortable at one spot.
- - Even with many failures or seeing others’ failures, I maintain optimism for the future.
- - Reliable. If I say I’ll do something by x time, I’ll do it. I When I declare something, I make sure with great certainty that my statements will be truthful rather than giving wishy-washy statements. If I’m not sure, then I’m not sure, I don’t try to sound like I do know something.
Here is the link to the SoundCloud playlist for this
assignment: https://soundcloud.com/angel-torres-vargas-720245625/sets/ent3003-assignment-16a-recordings/s-JpAKj
This includes all 5 recordings, but to stay within the instructions of the
assignment, I will post each individual recording below.
-
The key takeaway was that I strive for
excellence and my positive outlook helps others stay positive under pressure. I
found the latter part interesting since I hadn’t thought much about how I
impact other people.
-
The key takeaway was that I am a team player and
able to get along with my coworkers. I definitely value every person that I
surround myself with and I want to make sure that I provide value to them as
well.
-
The key takeaway was that I have self-confidence
and didn’t care about running with the pact or try to fit in with the other students
in school, and yet people were attracted to me because I had that quality. I
found this interesting since I considered myself an introvert and didn’t
possess this self-confidence but looking back, I did know that what was
important was my character and who I wanted to be rather than what society
wanted me to be.
-
The key takeaway was that my efforts do inspire
others, not only benefitting me. I am an example of what someone could do if
they strive for the best. I hoped to have this impact later on in my career,
but it is nice to hear that I do inspire my peers through my efforts (mainly
academic at the moment).
-
The key takeaway was that I maintain a balance
between being fair and kind and being mature in my thinking. I definitely
sometimes have a more mature/logical/pragmatic way of thinking which sometimes
has to supersede my usual kindness and understanding in making decisions.
I noticed that all of my interviewees mentioned something
about how people perceive me or how I inspire others through my efforts, or likewise.
I focused mainly on my own qualities without thinking about a broader reach of
my actions or my persona. I think part of those differences stem from my concern
of my individual abilities for my career rather than being able to work with
other people which I knew I could do. My interviewees are definitely correct
about me and I was happy to hear of the value I bring to them, and I hope that
I will be able to prove that they are just as valuable to me.
Going back to my list, I would add to my second point of my
ability to listen, understand, and empathize with other people.
Hello Angel, according to the people you interviewed, they described you as a easy going type of guy, always possitive, respectful and responsable. I am pretty sure that this qualities and many more will allow you to achieved your goals in life. In your last statement, you mention your ability to listen and that is a quality that not many people have.
