1) At first glance I am no different than any other 20 year old. I was raised into a wonderful family with a comfortable living situation. I attended great schools, and I attend a well known university. However, the things that set me apart are my personal experiences, and the opportunities I have had throughout the years. Some of the things that set me apart are the fact that I attended an all girls high school. Although this does not seem too unique, this experience has given me certain opportunities and allowed me to grow in an empowering environment. Some others things that set me apart are my work ethic and dedication to finishing out things I have started.
2) Interviews
Interview 1: "I think what makes you different, Grace, is your resilience. You don't give up on things easily. If you're going through a rough time, you don't give up on it. You maintain your determination even if you appear to be panicking on the outside. You know how to focus and get things done when it's important regardless of your emotions. "
Interview 2: "What makes you different is your keen ability to break down problems at their source, and try to fix them directly."
Interview 3: "I think Grace is different because she is someone that I consider to be very genuine and caring. You could call her anytime and she'll be there for you. It's hard to find people like that and she's someone that will be my friend for life."
Interview 4: "Grace's main skill is that she is able to work well with others in the sense that she can formulate large, cohesive ideas from several different people. In a way she is able to take large amounts of information and create a clear message.
Interview 5: "I think you're different because of your enthusiasm for the things you love. You bring creativity to everything you do and always try to make things beautiful.

3) After hearing what others think of me I feel like I sometimes see things differently because there are things I do not tell my friends, no matter how close they are. That being said, my friends see the things that I either choose not to see or are completely unaware of. My friends consistently commented on my ability to solve problems or preserver despite setbacks, which was really nice to hear because I do not always feel like I have a handle on things. After completing the interviews I have definitely become aware of new things, but I would not change what I said in the first part.
Hey Grace,
ReplyDeleteI think that you have some really great qualities and that your friends really appreciate having someone like you in their lives. It is great that your friends see things in you that you did not but now you aware of them. Overall, I enjoyed your blog post and the interviews because you really talked about what sets you apart from others.

Hey Grace, I wish you had listed some more personal qualities about yourself so that I could compare them with what your friends said. However, I can tell that you have a lot of resilience based on what your friends said about you; that will come in handy when we go off into the real world after college.
