Recommended: Own strengths & weaknesses

This wheel is an accurate picture of my abilities as a student because it clearly outlines my strengths and weaknesses as I see them day-to-day. My self-evaluation surprises me because the skills I lack is what I struggle with everyday. Such as time management, I always feel that I don’t have enough time to do certain things or balance work and school. The two areas in which I am strongest are purpose and diversity. I have a sense of purpose and know exactly what I want to accomplish in life. Also, my strong sense of diversity allows me to easily mix and get along with people of all races. The areas in which I want to improve are time and memory, I always have trouble managing my time and then not remembering what I spent a whole day doing.

  • Personal Narrative: My Racial Identity

    623 Words  | 2 Pages

    “You are only allowed to make racist jokes if it’s about your own race.” This saying, which radiated through the halls of my middle school that prided itself for its diversity, managed to make me feel more comfortable in my own skin. Why did the ability to make fun of two different races, while many of my peers could only make fun of one, validate my own racial identity? I should not have wanted to tease my race and my ancestors but it helped me feel comfortable, even though I knew my knowledge of the cultures I was born into was lacking.

  • Personal Narrative: My Second Diversity Event

    For my second diversity event, I went to "Minnesota OUT! Campus Conference- Keynote Speaker, Pidgeon Pagonis." The event was hosted by MOCC/LGBT Center/Latino Affairs. Though I did not attend the entire conference I went the last day, it was a very eye-opening experience for me. Pidgeon spoke about intersex, which I found out is the case in which "a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn't seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male" (isna.org). Before attending the event the former was known to me as "hermaphrodite." Pidgeon talked about how that term is offensive to intersex people, due to its history. There were a lot of "aha moments" for me, more than anything though a new world was being presented to me.

  • Personal Narrative: Identity

    1339 Words  | 3 Pages

    Identity-“Ones personal qualities.”Identiy is something only he or she can fully define. My uncle says I am affectionate,cheerful, and calm. My grandmother sees me as slim, pretty and sweet. My dad described me as perky, cheerful and happy, my mom says beautiful, gentle, and self-conscious. These adjectives describe me accurately, yet they are only abstract versions of me. Adjectives cannot begin to describe me and I aknowlege these descriptions for what they are, a condensed translation from my outward self to the world. It is impossible for anyone to understand me completely because nobody has experienced the things I have. My mother has never cherished a raggedy doll named Katie and my father never spent hours upon hours making collages and scrap books for his future children. My uncle never hid in the back of a pick-up-truck and traveled four hours to New York and my grandmother has never walked hours in the rain looking for the Queen of England. My identity is something only I can define.

    I never would have considered myself a typical minority when it came to my racial identity. I know what it takes to be successful, I play the oboe, and even though I come from a not so typical family background, that has never stopped me from continuing to strive in everything I put myself into. My mother and father came from a poor background but were able to overcome this poverty to make a better life for their children and themselves. They both lived in the projects and were not expected to graduate high school let alone attend college. Because of this, my parents have always talked to me how important an education is and I want to continue learning every single day. They have always encouraged me to do the things that I love to do, in

    I have to deal with diversity every day at my workplace. Living close to a military post and being Hispanic means that not only do I encounter diversity, I am part of it. Balancing good management of an organization with inclusion of diversity can be tough. Making sure that people don’t get offended by what you say or do and that you are giving everyone the same opportunity is hard to achieve, but possible. Since I moved to the United States more than 15 years ago, I had my share of experiences with diversity. In my case I have experience discrimination in two areas: 1) Being Hispanic and 2) Being an Army Wife.

  • Personal Narrative: My Experience With Diversity

    512 Words  | 2 Pages

    As I heard the gun shots outside the glass window, I ran terrified behind the old, brown couch in our living room and hide myself there. My heart beating increased, and currents of panic and fear ran through my body. I made an effort to connect my shivering hands and started praying, hoping that my mom and siblings were safe since they were out buying some groceries at the store that was five blocks away from our house. Fortunately, nothing happened to my family, they got home within an hour later after the shooting was over. Minutes later after their arrival, a neighbor came to our house warning us to stay inside the house until the police announce that things were back to “normal”. I was six years, and living in a neighborhood where there were daily confrontations due to gang violence and rivalry wasn’t easy. However, my family and I aimed for something better, and that meant moving to a new country, starting from zero, struggling economically, and gazing into my parent’s heartbroken expressions every time they couldn’t afford a new pair of shoes for me.
