My Secret Sauce

1) Describe five ways in which you think you have human capital that is truly unique. 
1. I am creative- I think outside of the box and am able to generate innovative ideas. This is especially useful in group projects and in problem-solving activities.
2. I am emotionally intelligent. This phrase means that I am exceptionally aware of my surroundings at all times and am able to read people really well. This makes me good at altering my demeanor and tone when speaking to different types of people.
3. I am well-traveled. I have traveled to over 10 different countries in my lifetime and this has allowed me to become a more easygoing person, better adapt to any situation thrown at me, and to understand people better.
4. I am invested in my human relationships and care deeply about the people closest to me in life.
5. I strive to be exceptional at everything I do. I have never settled for anything and when I set my mind to doing something I always get it done.
2) Interview the five people who know you the best. 
I have attached the five interviews (all audio-no visual. So don't worry that it is black)








3) Reflect on the differences. 
There were not any differences. Everyone agreed with the 5 qualities that I stated and even gave examples/explanations as to why they agreed. It was difficult for me to actually think of the 5 things but I really did enjoy this assignment of self-reflection because I am now more aware of what makes me stand out in my eyes and in others' eyes.

  1. Amy, you seem to know yourself well. Having good interpersonal skills is extremely important to success in all aspects of life. I was able to learn a little more about how others view me by not telling them what I thought my unique qualities were prior to asking them. Some people close to me brought up qualities I hadn't even considered. Good job. Here is a link to my post: http://guntotinghippie.blogspot.com/2016/03/my-secret-sauce.html

  4. Amy, I loved your blog - great post! I can relate to the well-traveled part, im actually leaving to Singapore tomorrow for an exotic trip, I'm not sure what to expect but as deep of a person as I am, I'm confident I will find experienced I've never even thought about! I've actually been to 22 countries and counting, I lived in Swaziland Summer 2014 for an internship at an orphanage with my great aunt who's a nun and it was very humbling! I'm very emotionally involved as well,vas I've been dating my current boyfriend for over 3 years! The videos you posted really dawned on me and helped me self-reflect, I'd love to see more! Take a look at my blog, we have a lot in common and you've given me so much insight! Also, in addition

  5. Very good job! I unfortunately did not get the chance to do this assignment. You did a really good job of learning a lot about what others think of you and that is extremely important. It obviously was key to doing this assignment but it will be very important in the future. I really hope you think a lot about what your close friends and family said because they said a lot of great things about you!
