1. I am a great public speaker and can talk to anyone about anything if need be.
I always listen first and talk second in a conversation
I am constantly thinking to myself about ways to improve things that I encounter in everyday life
My work ethic is never a question
When I want something, I go get it. Period.
2. 1stInterview – Jonny highlighted my great work ethic. Another key takeaway was him mentioning how level headed I am
2ndInterview – Danielle made me realize that I am more caring than I thought I showed to be. I guess she’s one of the only people who would be able to see that since she is my sister.
3rdInterview – Luke also mentioned my work ethic, furthering my confirmation. He also went more in depth, touching on how I become emotionally attached to my goals, making them even more necessary to achieve.
4thInterview – John didn’t give the best interview as he is not and never has been a serious person, but he knows me well. The one thing I can take away from his words are that he also sees that I am a hard worker, and will grind and grind until I get what I want.
5thInterview – Gabby, although I might’ve called her at the wrong time, touched on my work ethic. She also pointed out how I am a “good friend” and take my friend’s feelings into consideration and always stick up for them.
3. Overall, I was able to predict that most people saw me as a hard worker. This is something I have always known and stayed true to my entire life. I believe in hard work and the benefits it brings. There were a few differences. My sister saw me as very caring. I did not think this was something that would be brought up. Luke also pointed out that I tend to get emotionally attached to my work and goals. I believe the difference in perception is caused by the scenarios people see us in. Danielle is my sister, so she sees all the times I have been caring with my family. Luke is a high school friend, so he saw me grind away in school to get into UF. I believe the interviewees are correct about me. Going back to part 1, I would add level headed to the list. I think this is what helps me be such a good public speaker as well.

Hey Chris! Great post! We have a lot of similarities in our lists. Other than being the second person to talk, (I have a tendency to start conversations), almost all of our other things are very similar. Your interview with John reminded me a lot of my cousin Spencer. He knows me extremely well but is not serious at all! Your interview with Luke was phenomenal!
ReplyDeleteHello Chris!
ReplyDeleteI can relate to the difference between family and friends. I didn't give names in my post, but my friends generally noticed my hard work ethic since they had always seen my efforts from school. My family noticed more of my thinking style, personality, and outlook on life. I also like how Luke said you were emotionally attached to your goals; you can only get so far from working hard to simply "complete" something.
Hey Christopher! I’m envious of your public speaking skills. That is one thing that I am terrible at and really need to work on. Also your go-getter attitude is very important. Driven individuals are very valuable due to their work ethic, as noticed by Luke. You had some great interviews, and it sounds like you learned about yourself a little bit too with the caring and level-headed characteristics. Great post!
ReplyDeleteHi Chris,
ReplyDeleteI can definitely tell from your interviews that you stand out as a hard worker. That is an incredibly valuable skill to have. Having a strong work ethic and doing whatever it takes to get the job done are extremely important in all facets of life. It is cool that you recognize that ability in yourself, and that those closest to you seem to see it, as well.
