16A- What's Your Secret Sauce

The five qualities about me that distinguish m from others are my generosity, confidence, dedication, intelligence, and selflessness.

I would consider myself a very generous people. I always go out of my way to help people and make sure they are okay, because helping others gives me a great peace of mind. I gain a lot of happiness knowing that I was able to help someone out in some way. Unfortunately, this quality of mine has lead me to get taken advantage of by others. However, right now I am learning to spot red flags in individuals that possess this sort of behavior.

I would also say I'm a very confident person. I don't really get nervous over interviews, tests, or basically everything. This is because I go in with my head high in everything I do. I know this may be perceived as cocky at times, but I just can't help it. I believe that if you have confidence, you are more likely to achieve the things you want to do.

I am a very dedicated person. If I set my mind to something, I will do whatever it takes to achieve it. No one can change my mind about it, once I'm set on something, there is not going back.

I would say I'm a very intelligent person. I don't interpret things at face level and like to do more research and analysis on everything, I can pretty much have a conversation with someone about anything.

Lastly, I am very selfless. I put other peoples need over myself, even if it is inconvenient on my end I will still put up with it to please the other person.

The first person I interviewed was my sister Tara. She told me that she really looked up to my confidence, and she wishes she was as confident as I am in everything I do, especially test taking. It made me happy that I am able to be a positive influence in her life.

The second person I interviewed was my boyfriend Isaac. He told me that all the qualities I mentioned is what made me different from any other girl. He really admired my selflessness and generosity which he said weren't very common among people nowadays.

The third person I interviewed was my dad. He told me that he really admired my intelligence. He always tells me how much he looks up to me and encourages me to continue all the amazing things I'm doing because he knows I will be very successful in the future.

The fourth person I interviewed was my mom. She told me my confidence is something she really likes about me because she sees me as a reflection of herself, so she's happy that she passed on the confidence she has to me. She also emphasized how confidence can really help you in life.

The fifth person I interviewed was my boss. She told me I am a very dedicated and driven hard worker. She trusts me with a lot of things at work and has told me that I am a very valuable asset in the workplace. She also told me she is happy to have me working alongside her.

All of the interviews with the individuals I chose bascially told me the same things I mentioned about myself. The qualities they discussed they admired the most about me were the same qualities I thought made myself unique from everyone else. Not to sound full of myself, but I am very happy with my personality and how I have developed as a person.
