- What am I good at?
I think I am good at pushing myself and adapting to new situations. I could easily be complacent, but I have a drive to continue improving myself to see what the best version of me could achieve. I also think I am good at being creative and learning new skills. Somewhat similar to my earlier point I love to continue learning beyond what is required of me and I always love creating something new.
- What do I value?
I value hard work, I think a lot of people have natural talent that is amazing, but don’t always take the time to grow to the best they can be. I also really value relationships and time, ultimately I believe investing in people is the most rewarding thing you can do. Additionally, time is the one thing we can never get more of so making the most of it is important to me.
- How did I get here?
I got here by being an independent thinker and working hard. My whole life I have been supported by my friends and family but never pressured into any particular path. This has given me great motivation to achieve whatever I want without having the pressure of meeting someone else’s expectations.
- Where am I going?
This is the one I am still trying to figure out. I am currently employing my ability to adapt in this strange season of life. Even over the course of this term my plans have changed as I lost my internship due to COVID. I am confident that my career will be a fascinating journey and I am excited to start, I am just not yet sure what that will look like.
I’m sorry to hear about your internship! Many of my friends have had the same thing happen to them, it is really unfortunate but I recognize the want to reduce contact during a pandemic. It is clear that you have a good idea of who you are and I hope that you are able to find more opportunities in the future that allow you grow more and learn since that is something you enjoy doing.
Hi Courtney!
I also lost an internship and a job due to COVID-19 which made things really difficult and a sense of not knowing what’s going to happen next. It seems like you have a clear vision of yourself and what you want to achieve!! Good luck with everything!
