Who am i Becoming?
Some characteristics that I carry, that I feel is most important include the ability to not be scared to show compassion, sympathy/empathy, to effectively use communication when needed, and being able to incorporate some sort of humor [when appropriate]. It is critical for people to know that I am not going to keep my mouth shut about things I feel are important to inform people about. I am an open book and don’t gloss over nothing. I am also not going to sugarcoat anything, I will give you a firm, straight answer. My area of strength is definitely in communication. My personal belief is that if there is no line of communication, then why pull through with it? Without communication, the bridge between you and who ever you’re working with, is burned down, leaving no meeting point between the two. Even though in the moment, it may not seem as a problem, in the long run, it may be.
Unwillingness is a bit of a flaw in ones character, but what I am unwilling to change about myself is my communication style and confidence. I am not going to say I am attractive, or have the best body around; but I will say I am at terms with my physical appearance which make me more attractive than those who aren't. I have worked very hard to get the level of confidence I have right now and I am not going to let someone take all that hard work away from me. This trait specifically is important to me because it allows people to easily ready how you are feeling and it shows that you are not concerned with what other people has to say about me. Someone can always offer better, but I am genuinely happy where I am and how I got here.
People tend to perceive me as hard to approach and irritating; both because I am not afraid to put out my opinion on anything, and i am very passionate about those opinions. Typically, there are two stereotypes that people tend to see me: the quiet 'geek' and the overly passionate about school. I am not going to lie, I am a little bit pf both of those. but I am obviously more. I want to be seen as Aaliyah Villafuerte not 'the quiet person in the corner for the minor exception when it comes to debates.' I see myself still facing this problem for a couple more years, but will soon no longer bother me.
My goals pertaining to my character in the next two years is to be more confident in not myself, but my work I put out there. I tend to keep my work to myself and my teachers, eve when I feel it is great. Also, I would love to work on my motivation towards things outside of school, besides sports. The group I am involved with in a school environment both hinder and help my goals as we are not willing to 'expand' in a sense, but we know how to always keep each other up and encourage each other. In entering 11th grade, I transferred to a new school, resulting in me wanting to be 100% me, as these people know nothing about me and I know nothing about them; meaning my actions are not going to be influenced by theirs. Steps I will continue to take to maintain this image is just to be 100% honest, 100% of the time. I will hope to continue this for the rest of my life.
Jobs that interest are all surrounding the therapy career. Some jobs to help me achieve where I want to be in the Therapy field is regular costumer service jobs, as it exercises my communication and people skills. I am currently employed with Safeway, so this is a great start as the clientele there is vast.
