16A: What’s Your Secret Sauce?

1)  #1: I believe that the first way that I have human capital is that I am caring. I have a genuine desire to see everyone do well and continue to improve. I try to go above and beyond for people, especially when I don't know them. I desire to see the needs of other and put myself in a position where I can help out.

#2: I believe that I am diligent. I don't always take the most time to dedicate to anything. I am definitely a procrastinator and sometimes it is a hindrance because I truly desire to do a good job. However, when I get started on something I want to put my best foot forward by doing the best that I can. I will continue to tweak it until it is just right or at least acceptable to be presented to others in my eyes. I have a high standard for excellence and I desire to show that in all that I do.

#3: I think I am very humble (which is a humble thing to say, I know). However, I think that we to often discredit humility as an attribute. I definitely don't have an extroverted nature, which I think contributes to the humility. I don't care if I get all of the credit for something, though. I just want to know that I did my best. I honestly like it better when no one knows the things that I am involved in. I always try to do things because I want to do them and not because others want me to.

#4: I think that I am ambitious. I always try to set big goals and attain even bigger ones. A lot of the time it doesn't always work out, but I still try not to limit myself. I live life as though the sky is the limit and the impossible can miraculously happen, but I am still logical practical as I rationalize through things. I think that this optimism about my goals just propels me to aim bigger each time.

#5: One of the things that I believe set me apart from most other people that I meet is how observant I am. I make that the connections that others most others don't. I mentioned earlier that I am introverted, but I also have a very analytical mind. I believe that these two things combine the help me find solace in stepping away or withdrawing from a crowd and observing those around me. I think that I have a good idea of who people are and whats important to them after 10 minute of observing them in their element. I think that it helps me get to know people better by getting a feel of what they're like before even meeting them.

2) Person#1: I think that one of the things that stuck out to me when first meeting you was your sense of humor. Your sense of humor is what really captivates people and draws them in. You could be have the worst day but still smile and joke through it. This is one of the most vital way that you connect with people. I think that your humor keeps you approachable and lets everyone know your human.

Person #2: I think that you are so incredibly loyal. You push through and persevere even when things get really challenging. I have seen you stick with something even if it isn't the most favorable place to be. If you believe in something and think that it is worth your time, then you are in it for the long haul. You do that with your friends. You have a way of keeping you friends for life at all costs. you go to bat for them in incredible ways.

Person #3: I would say that you are spontaneous. Sometimes you say or do the most outlandish, unexpected things. I also think that it is not confined to one aspect of your life. You do unexpected things on both a small scale and a large scale. You can decide to just randomly break out into dance or you can randomly to go to the beach a day before you final. I think you are pretty innovative in the way that you can think of solutions really quickly, even if they aren't always the most effective. Your unpredictability keeps me on my toes.

Person #4: You are very trustworthy. One of the things that I appreciate about us being friend is that I know that you won't gossip about me. I know when I tell you something that I won't hear someone else saying it. I always just feel like I can you anything which is comforting.

Person #5: Something that I have always admired about you is how chill you are. You're always so calm under pressure. You can really stress about an exam or something but you always pull it together and you seem like you've got it. You always talk about being stressed but you seem unphased. You don't sweat under pressure, you just take it with a grain of salt and keep it pushing. I don't know how you do it because I would have a meltdown. It motivates me to keep persevering though.

3) These interviews really opened my eyes to things about myself that I don't really see. I knew this have most of the attributes stated, but I didn't really think that people noticed. I was surprised to see that the little things that I don't think about affected people the most and were the most memorable to them. I think I see describe myself by the things that I have to work for. If I am making a conscious decision about it then I notice it. I feel like other notice things that I do pretty effortlessly. I think that the interviewees are correct about the attributes they present. I think that I wouldn't make any corrections to the descriptions I provided. I think both presented lists are correct just in their own way.

  1. Hey Nala! This blog was definitely an interesting read- it makes me feel like I kind of know you without actually ever meeting you! It seems like you surprise a lot of people with how you carry yourself and manage situations. It also seems like you are a very chill, down to earth woman!
