Personal Evaluation
1. What are three things you know to be true about yourself that make you special and unique? I am really good at making people smile and feel welcome. I have a really happy smile. I have red hair.
2. Referring to the list above, name an action or personal characteristic which exhibits each trait. I am extremely outgoing and bubbly. I make jokes/laugh a lot. I am passionate about the things my heart is in.
3. Have you ever received negative comments concerning the traits listed above? What do you think motivated the person to say something untrue about you? I've had people tell me that I have an interesting/weird laugh - it was hurtful because I love laughing and smiling. The person I distinctly remember saying that wasn't trying to be mean, they were just making an observation. Since then, I have embraced my unique laugh as best I can and use it often. Some people make comments that I am too overbearing or determined/hard-headed. I do struggle admitting I'm wrong, but sometimes my passion and determination comes off as me trying to be right instead of the former. Sometimes I think that my determination startles people and makes them uncomfortable, other times I think that people don't like the competition or don't like someone being as passionate (if not moreso than them).
