Five ways in which I
think I have Human Capital:
1.
Passion: I am extremely passionate about
everything that I do. When doing something whether it be at work, or school, or
really anything, I put everything I have into it. I really think that my
passion for things that I do and care about really shows and it helps me
connect to people around me.
2.
Caring: I care so much about everyone around me
and always put others needs in front of my own. It’s not just people, I care so
much about school and work. Somethings I feel as if I care too much, and it can
lead to me being extremely frustrated.
3.
Hard working: I feel like I am one of the
hardest working people I know. I am always studying, doing school work, working
out, or working at Sun Country Gymnastics (this is where I work every single
day, 35 hours a week). I never stop. I am consistently trying to get better,
learn something new, or improve my coaching skills.
4.
Leader: I always find myself leading the pack. I
enjoy being in charge and in control of everything going on. I am not afraid to
tell people what needs to be done. I like to get things done efficiently and
correctly, and the way I am able to do this is by taking charge and being a
leader. I am also a leader in the since that I make good choices every day and am
a great role model.
5.
Achiever: I always give everything my all. I want
to succeed in life and everything that I do. I am extremely determined to
achieve anything and everything I put my mind to.
Interviews:
1.
Gary Hoffmann – dad: My biggest takeaway from
this interview is the fact that my dad mentioned how I attack anything that comes my
way, I’m very specific, I always give everything my all, and I give great
attention to detail on everything that I do. My dad and I are so much alike and
I feel like he really gets me.
2. Michelle Hoffmann – mom: My biggest takeaway
from my mom’s video is how she mentioned that I handle my emotions by calling
her and venting or crying to her. She also mentioned that I never give up on
anything and that she sees me as a hardworking, caring, funny, and loveable
person.
3.
Ashley Hoffmann – sister: My biggest takeaway
from this interview was how my sister also mentions that I don’t handle my
emotions all that great. She did say that I handle my emotions differently
depending on the situation. She also mentioned that I call my mom a lot and can
be pretty annoying.
4.
Brandon Turnage – boyfriend: My biggest takeaway
from this interview is that when I’m stressed out my emotions can really
change. When I have a lot of pressure on me, I tend to let my emotions get away
from me. Brandon mentioned that I am a great team player and am a great leader.
He says that I’m not afraid to tell people what I want or what needs to be done.
5.
Mary Carlson – friend: My biggest takeaway from
this interview is that I have a compassionate personality. Mary mentions that I
feel feelings a lot. If I’m happy then I’m happy, if I’m sad then I’m really
sad, etc. She also mentioned that I try so hard in everything that I do and
that I care a lot about the people in my life.
Reflection:
I think that the way my family/friends view me is very
similar to the way I view myself. They mentioned me being caring, passionate, a
leader, and hardworking, which is exactly how I see myself. I was very
surprised that 3 of the 5 people I interviewed mentioned how I don’t handle my
emotions very well. I feel as if I keep things inside (like my dad said) but if
I let my emotions out I let them out to my mom. I feel like my mom and sister
think I don’t handle my emotions as well because I do call my mom all the time
to vent, talk, or cry. But, I feel like that is completely normal and other
then talking to my mom I really do keep my emotions inside. I have learned
through these interviews, that sometimes my emotions can be expressed through
my facial expressions. Mary mentioned that I feel feelings a lot and although I
don’t talk about those feelings ever, you can still see them through my face
and body language. Overall, I believe that everyone I interviewed was correct
about me. I wasn’t surprised that my family and friends were able to describe
me so well because they are the ones who know me the best. Sometimes I feel
like they may know me better than I know myself. With this, I would not make
any corrections to my previous list.
