Self-Awareness


 For the Self-Awareness Assessment, I scored in the top quartile each time I took the assessment. Self-Awareness is something that I have been continually striving to work on. In an assessment I took my freshman year of college, my need for self-awareness was a commonality amongst all of the results. I am not surprised by my search for self-awareness, most of it coming from the professionals I have surrounded myself with.


Luckily, over the course of the last 3 years, I have had the opportunity to work with extremely successful individuals within the world of student affairs. These individuals not only mentored me, but challenged me to find myself and reflect on every decision I was making. This is something that has stuck with me; I question others a lot, but I question myself more. I am constantly thinking about decisions I have made and considering how they have and will impact my life. I have found this to be burden sometimes, and it adds a level of stress to my life, but trying to find myself and be aware of my reasoning and realizing my values has made me a better person. I have found that it is through this that I am able to push myself in areas that I know will make me happy, it focuses my attention to what I am passionate about and it a motivator for future endeavors.
