Self-Reflection

What am I good at?

I excel at organization and am always on top of things. I like to keep track of tasks with to-do lists and sticky notes, and am always making sure everything I can control is tidy and organized. I work well in a team and am passionate about success as I’m a fierce competitor, but I also love to read, write, and continue learning.

What do I value?

Happiness and spreading joy make me happy. While overstated, I truly do want to make the world a better place and contribute to the success of others. I value family and doing the right thing, travelling and appreciation for other cultures, and accepting life not as it is, but how it should be.

How did I get here?

While Oregon State wasn’t my first choice, I got here because it made sense. It was closer to home and less expensive, as well as it came with friends and people I knew already. Being in the College of Business was not my original intention; I started undeclared, not knowing what I wanted to do. I ended up with Management because I made friends in classes, watched the Office, and started to see how I could one day change the world.

Where am I going?

I’ve made some pretty safe choices and been mostly boring along this path. I have an internship at a corporate office that starts in a few weeks and I could see myself interviewing for a position for after graduation. This is great in the sense that it’s secure and a seemingly normal way to go, with a house and one day hopefully a family to go along with that white picket fence. I’m not sure I’m happy with that though, as I want to travel a lot more and feel young for a lot longer too.
