I interviewed my parents over the weekend and asked them a few questions. Not only did they answer the questions but they had video tapes to show me so I could see myself in action. According to their responses, the first five years of my life I was REALLY active and talkative (once I was of age to start talking....lol) . I love to talk......to anybody....lol. I was polite, eager to learn and explore new things!! I loved to play with my baby dolls, jump rope with my twin sister and my mother. My unique characteristics was my enthusiasm. While growing up they really did not know what I was going to grow up to be but they said whatever career I chose I would be very good at it!!
INTERVIEWED FIVE FRIENDS!!
1.) Friend #1 said that my strengths were helping other people.
2.) Friend #2 said that my strengths were reading and writing.
3.) Friend #3 said that my strengths were solving problems and helping others.
4.) Friend #4 said that my strengths were listening and being compassionate as well as caring.
5.) Friend #5 said that my strengths were being courageous.
My friends are very nice!!! LOL...
The thing I love doing the most is reading. I enjoy reading autobios, historic events, and surviving stories. I am very interesting in reading as well as learning things related to the domestic violence movement and sexual assaults issues. The most recent novel I read regarding these issues is titled the Surviving the Silence written by Charlotte Pierce-Baker. This novel included the stories of survivors and how they dealt with their emotions, families, friends, and even themselves after traumatic events. Reading books like these helps me understand and gives my a sensitive looks and perspective for these individuals. It also makes me want to be involved. In place of reading I watched videos on you tube that discussed these same issues and this gave me that exact same feeling.
Here are just a couples of videos I watched........please take a look.

Shakita,
ReplyDeleteI don't know you that well yet but I can honestly say that another strength that you have is your take charge attitude. You had no problem taking the initiative when the 7's came toghether.
HEY Girly,
ReplyDeleteYou are very good at helping people. I love your personality. I'm glad that you know what your interests are. I only met you last semester, but you are very kind generous and I bet you'd do great in whatever you do. You wont have any trouble being a people-person.
Shakita,
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful quality about yourself. I just love you and your sister. You have a nice personality and a beautiful smile.
