Personal Narrative: My Four Assessments In My Life

Decent Essays
When I think of the word career, I don’t just think of a professional option or activity, the first thing that comes to my mind is a lifestyle you enjoy based on your vocation. Therefore, my personality is going to impact my choice of a career. In addition, I have to think about my strengths and challenges I might experience in the career I am going to consider. So the four assessments I took were a helpful complement to the other tests I took before, along with some other tools in My Plan that were beneficial as well.

    I appreciate receiving constructive feedback, since this criticism is valuable for me improving from my mistakes. Recently, I had been a leader of a group with whom I had worked on developing a new soda brand, for our entry in the Coca Cola sponsored, World Series of Innovation Competition. Being leader of this team, I encouraged my team to be open and give me their best suggestions. In this process I received positive criticism for my approach in leadership, feedback that I can apply to become a better leader. My group informed me that I took too much initiative to complete the unfinished tasks of some participants, rather than encouraging them to do this work themselves.…

    My experiences over the last six years living in NYC have shaped me into the approachable and compassionate person I am today. I have been immersed in a melting pot with many different culturally and economically diverse populations. These unique experiences have broadened my horizons and allowed me to gain valuable communication skills and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I searched out opportunities to give back and help the people in my community both in volunteering in hospitals, educating high school students, and interning in private practices. I even traveled with the organization Medlife, setting up a medical clinic to provide basic medical care and education to people in the poor and underserved communities surrounding Lima, Peru.…

    I wrote a book. One, where if it were a movie I would not be old enough to watch it without an adult. No, you can not buy it at Barnes & Nobles or your local bookstore or anywhere books are sold. But I would gladly give you a printed 8 x 11, arial, black and white, 5 font size, unstapled copy in exchange for a Jackson. A little more if you want it signed.…

    Road Test I had been waiting for this day all my life. After a year of driving with a permit, it was time to take my drivers road test to get my license. I ran to my mother’s room and told her to get ready we had to be at the DMV by 11:30 am. She checked the time and to her surprise it was only 9:00 am, which for me was late. After 10 minutes of annoying her, she crawled out of bed.…

    My biggest life challenge is speaking up and believing in myself. Growing up, I always played basketball because that’s what my family wanted all us kids to do. I come from a “legacy” of excellent ball players from softball to basketball. Everyone expected my cousins and I to carry on the talent. I had some talent and was decent at basketball, but fell short to my cousins.…

    Losing someone you watched suffer in their last days on earth doesn’t feel anything like losing a friend that was your age who had their whole life ahead of them, and losing both in less than a 2 month span doesn’t help either. The year of 2013 wasn’t the best year for me nor any of my classmates. For me it actually started when I was in the seventh grade, my mom received the rights to take care of my ill grandfather (her father). Turns out he was suffering from early age dementia; caused from drinking at an early age which happened to be 12.…

    One of my most distinctive long-term goals that I had was to qualify for our varsity swim and dive team as well as to participate in the state meet as a freshman. Being a nationally accredited team, I understood that if I wanted to achieve my goal, I would have to devote a large amount of my time and effort into my practice schedule. This resulted in multiple practice times, an increased workout schedule and participation in outside service involving the swim and dive team. After school, I would head out to University of Louisville’s natatorium and spend the majority of the day conditioning, warming up dives I have acquired from past practices, and attempt dives that were foreign to me.…

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…

    My whole life I’ve been a little different. From the clothes I wear and the way I present myself, to the way I look at the world, I’ve always been somewhat peculiar. Not peculiar in a bad way, but in an interesting, provocative kind of way. I am the weird greenish-yellow crayon in the box that no one ever uses. I was born in Anchorage, Alaska.…

    Culminating Final Reflection My presentation was pretty effective in terms of getting my information and overall points across. I think the most effective part of my presentation was the organization of slides. I tried very hard to make sure the order of my presentation made sense, and that it wasn’t too overcrowded with pictures and words.…
