1) My human capital
I am extremely creative in my work, especially in my writing and art. I have the volunteer experience with animals and children, I put in everything when I volunteer with them. I have the knowledge from years of school and beginning in college. I have the skills, from my volunteer experience, to connect with animals and children. I have the judgment during my training of what work to do.
2) Interview 1: Iliana is one of my closest friends, I’ve known her for seven years. She thinks I put in all the effort when it comes to the work. That I’m very focused once I begin the work. I have the skills from all my long experience. I am able to put in this work from knowledge of how long my work will take.
What I took from this overview of myself is that I am a hard worker, the most hard working in a team. And especially because of all my experience I am able to perform all these skills fully.
Interview 2: I’ve known Dita for almost two years, I played soccer with her and I’ve remained friends. She thinks I’m very focused, and can be very hard on myself and on others, my emotions can overcome me. I have the knowledge but that seems irrelevant with my emotions. I have the abilities, I can clearly communicate and focus on one thing until its completed.
What I understand is that my emotions seem to take over me in my work, all my abilities seem to be thrown away by my emotions. I need to get my emotions under control from now on to succeed in my work.
Interview 3: Elizabeth was my classmate in my first semester and is now my best friend. She thinks I am very driven in my schoolwork, and put everything aside. That my emotions need to be controlled right now. That I need to have the ability to work alone and plan efficiently. That I have everything I need right now but I’m just not using them.
My take away is that I’m all over the place, I’m lucky to have all the human capital accessible but I’m just not using it correctly. I feel this is all because of my emotions.
Interview 4: Jess and I became close friends a year ago. She thinks I’m using everything correctly- I’m enrolled at a great school, that I have the resources, that I have the extra experience than others.
From what I hear it sounds like I am succeeding, that I am ahead of others my age. That I am using my resources wisely and everything is leveled.
Interview 5: I’ve known Grace the longest, we’ve been friends for nine years. She thinks I have all the human capital but my emotions outweigh the others. She knows I am currently trying to control my emotions so I can use my other human capital. That I have the knowledge to go to school and make wise decisions. That I have the skills and abilities from my extra experience.
What I take away from this is that I am so close to succeeding with my human capital, I just have to control my emotions but I have the other human capital already.
3) Reflection
I see myself at different levels of my human capital, uncontrollable. Others see me as uncontrollable with my emotions, but able to succeed with my other human capital. I assess myself differently based on how long I’ve been involved in my human capital, my experience. What causes these differences is seeing the other levels others are at with their human capital, people close to me. I think my interviews aren’t correct about me but make me feel more confident in my human capital. I would correct only my emotions, having all the tools accessible and experience with it.
Hey Lauren,
ReplyDeleteI think creativity is very important and is a nice characteristic to have. Having the skills to connect with children and animals through volunteer work is also something that goes hand in hand with creativity, as working with children often involves creative thinking. I see that emotions are something that are greatly involved in your human capital experience and play a big toll on the decisions you make. Great job!
