- Compassionate: Whether it is on a people level, on a world level, on an animal level, I truly empathize and care. It is a main reason why I plan on either joining the Peace Corps after I graduate or work at a non-profit. I am truly blessed in this world, and I want to help others around me as well.
- Try to put myself out there: I would describe myself as outgoing. I am not afraid to take a risk or be adventurous.
- Aware: I try to be aware of what is occurring in the world, whether it relates to me or not. I enjoy reading BBC and educating myself. I especially enjoy learning about crises (for example, financial and humanitarian).
- Forgiving: I have a very forgiving personality. I understand people make mistake because no one is perfect. However, I do understand the difference between letting someone walk all over me by being too forgiving versus forgiving someone who truly means it.
- Loyal: I will go across oceans for those I care about. I think this compliments my compassionate personality trait.

Conclusion: I spent a lot of time growing as a person and truly getting to know myself within the last 2 years. I do not believe my views on myself is all that different from what my friends and family said. My favorite weakness described was "structurally chaotic" in regards to being outgoing and doing crazy things but still being organized. Naturally there will be some differences. While I knew I could sympathize with people, I truly didn't understand how empathetic I am and how it truly impacts the people around me. I would say that is the key word that really stuck out during the interviews. My interviewees are close friends and family, I believe they are right about their views on me. I would not change anything on my list. Like I stated before, I spent a long time getting to know myself, my personality, what drives me and my list correlates with what they all said about me.
I'm proud of you for spending so much time on yourself and getting to know you. I am also very compassionate and travel to the moon and back for all of my friends. I'm glad your interviews aligned so well with your views on yourself. It's also good that you've now realized how empathetic you are. It sounds like you touch the hearts around everyone around you and I'm so glad you're so caring. We need more people like you, keep it up!
ReplyDeleteHey Meg! It's amazing how you are forgiving and loyal. Those are all qualities that are difficult to find in people these days. Many people don't forgive and usually end up being mean for a long period of time. I love how your interviews showed that people really care for you likewise and they see the same qualities in you as you see in youself!
ReplyDeleteHey, I think is great that you spend some time to get to know yourself. You are saying that you wouldn't change anything on your list, and I agree with you. I think we all should know what we choose to show to people based on the way that we act, this should be how we are as a person. Hence why you agree with what thy are saying.
