What am I good at?
I am very good at being organized and regularly evaluating what needs to be done. I am task-oriented and thus am easily satisfied by getting things done. Communication is incredibly important to me. I believe it is necessary at all times. I demonstrate strong people skills by actively listening, having empathy, and working towards a common goal.
What do I value?
I value helping others reach their goals. It satisfies me to see someone accomplish something they have been striving for. I enjoy showing my appreciation by giving back to local communities. I believe honesty and loyalty are a must. I find it difficult to get along with people who lack these values.
How did I get here?
I got to where I am today through my hard work and dedication. Sure, I have had my fair share of detours along the way, but persistence is what has got me through. I am very determined to reach my goals and hope to continue to be this way. The comeback is always greater than the setback.
Where am I going?
As I finish up my degrees these next few months, I am continuously looking for employment and the opportunities that are currently out there. I hope to have a full-time job in the financial sector lined up before I finish school so I can go straight into the workforce. I also want to see what my options are for going to grad school. I am thinking about it but haven’t decided if I’ll actually do it. I wonder if the company I do end up working for will support my decision to go back to school (i.e. pay for it or be flexible schedule-wise) and if so, how to go about that.

Being organized and task-oriented is an amazing trait that many hope to have. These strengths coupled with your communication will be assets to many different companies in different fields. It sounds like you are a leader and want to see the people around you succeed. This is also very valuable and will help you achieve great heights. As long as you are determined and are willing to work hard to reach your goals, nothing can get in your way! I wish you the best of luck!
Delani,
I think you did a great job explaining yourself and reflecting. I think you have some great traits and values that will help you become successful in life. I think caring for others and trying to make them there best version is something that will not only benefit you but it will also benefit all the companies. Getting a masters is always a good idea and it really helps you get into some good positions later in life.
I also cited my communication skills in my post, I feel as though communication is the solution to many problems that arise both in business, as well as all parts of our lives. I think you did a good job of reflecting and expressing yourself. Many companies do have programs where they will pay for your degree (at least part of it), hopefully you can land a job that will give you that opportunity!
