How well do you know yourself?

Do all of these steps in ORDER in your GoogleDocs (save in Classroom).

We start on Monday, the complete assignment is due on Tuesday.

STEP 1 (Monday in class)

A. Open this file in Google Classroom

B. Answer the following questions in one paragraph thoroughly on
this form
prior to the skills test:

What is your personal capital? What are your strengths, skills, passion,
purpose? What evidence you have that these things exist?

My strengths in my own opinion is that no matter what I am failing I

never seem to given up, I push until I reach my goal. My passion is to
hopefully one day to become a correctional officer. My purpose is to
work hard in my young years so when I decide to have a family of my
own they wont have to go through any types of struggles I have been
through with my family. Evidence I have to prove all of this is that even
though I miss a lot of school days from my illness I still am determined
to pass all my classes.

What is your intellectual capital? What is your expertise in one or two

subjects or skills? (These do not have to be exclusively academic
subjects) What evidence do you have that you are an expert in these
fields?

Some knowledge that I have in one subject would definitely be

economics. I say economics because it relates to everyones everyday
life and I find that so interesting. Another would be I am a very hard
worker. Evidence I have to prove is that knowing I was working a little
less than a month I adapted fast and got the hang of it. The manager
and the owner of the store made it a point to appreciate me for my
hard work.

Where do you see yourself in September of next year?

By next September of next year I see myself working and going to

schooling. Meanwhile also working out and preparing for when I turn 21
to become a correctional officer. My most important goal is to make
sure I get all my studies done and be done with my AA.

STEP 2 (Monday in class):

a. Go to the following site and take the strengths assessment:

aptitude-test/

STEP 3 (Tuesday in Class):

List your top 5 strengths with a brief summary of what each strength
means:

1. My first top strength was communication. In my own opinion I

believe this means to take full control. To maybe also have clarification
of other things. For example if I dont understand something I will
speak up to ask for help. Or if someone doesnt understand something
I will be first to help them out and explain whats going on.
2.The second top strength was leadership. I think I scored strong in
leadership because I am one to get things moving and to be on task. I
dont really like to be supervised when I am on a certain task unless I
need help. Unless I need help is where my first strength comes in
which is communication.
3.My third strength was faith. I believe one if not everyone should have
faith to push them forward. I have faith to make efforts to discover my
true passion and tie it to my own work. I have a lot of faith because if I
didnt I feel I would fail at things. Faith keeps me a strong individual.
4.Another strength of mine was optimism. I dont lose hope very easy,
it takes me a while to finally give up after I exhaust every opportunity. I
am very confident in everything I do, and put my mind to. I am always
willing to help others and do whatever I can to satisfy others.
5.The last top strength I have is adaptability. I am a fast learner at
things and get the job done thoroughly. I focus on many quick jobs. I
rather much focus on quick task than long drawn out assignments.

List your top weakness with a brief summary of that weakness:

1.My top weakness is resourcefulness. I thrive on responsibility. I thrive

in many situations where many things are happening at the same time.
I also in a way seek them as well. Occasionally I reject working with
someone who I believe is dishonest or a shoddy worker.

STEP 4 (Tuesday in class):

In narrative form, thoroughly describe what you discovered about

yourself from this strength assessment. Did you know your strengths
and weakness or did you discover something new? What was it and
how are you going to apply it? This portion is due in a separate
document to turnitin.com by Wednesday, February 15th.
