1. What am I good at?
I think that I am good at being a leader. I naturally find myself in this role and I am conscious of how I treat others as a leader. I try and ensure that each part of the team is able to have their voice heard which is what makes someone a good leader, in my opinion.
2. What do I value?
I value respect. I think respect is really important in relationships. I think if there is no respect then there is not a foundation of a healthy relationship. I think respect correlates with value and everyone wants to feel valued and like they matter and I think that starts with respect.
3. How did I get here?
I think that I got to the place that I am with hard work and some of my own privilege. I was not given everything in life, I had to work my way through college and pay for everything since I was about 16 years old. On the other hand, I could not have done it without the privilege that I have. I am lucky enough to live in a place with financial aid and I have a loving and supporting family which not everyone has.
4. Where am I going?
I hope to go on to make a difference in people’s lives. I am a management major because I want to be a leader. I want to be able to lead a team and support them to ensure that they are meeting their greatest potential and I want to create an environment that welcomes all people. I think by accepting people for who they are is a way I can make a difference.
