- In my experience, I have observed that I pay attention to detail much more than the average person. This has helped me remember things more easily, especially in the classroom. I am a quick learner.
- I am not one-dimensional. I have many interests such as basketball, spearfishing, and guitar aside from my academics.
- I am fluent in english and spanish
- I am exceptionally slow and methodical. Sometimes it gets on other people's nerves. Nonetheless, I am proud of my methodical approach to life and school.
- I can relate to many different types of people of many different ages. I enjoy face to face conversation, especially with younger kids or older people.

I think it is very true that I accomplish goals once I have set them. I have struggled at times with setting achievable goals, but I have gotten much better at this recently as I get older.
I pride myself in being able to bring a smile to others faces. This interview from my closest little cousin definitely brought a smile to my face.
My sister is only two years younger than me so we are best of friends. I am glad that my diverse range of hobbies and interests is evident to her. I hope she follows in my footsteps.
My friend Ben pointed out how I am always trying to make sure others are having a good time. Whether it be cracking a joke or being a good host, I take pride in this as well.
I love how my mom said I am a quick learner. In school, especially, I feel like I have been blessed by being a very quick learner. It has benefitted me tremendously.
3) It is comforting to see that those that know me best agree with me on what my "Secret Sauce" is for the most part. My family and friends that I interviewed seem to share a lot of the same insight into my human capital that I personally did too. While my mom said I am organized I must qualify that since I can be messy at times. There is, however, a "method to my madness" because I am still responsible and don't ever lose things or fall behind with school. I think the fact that I have now been away at college for almost two years may cause some of the differences between mine and my parents assessments of myself. While I keep in touch with them a good amount, I talk with my sister a lot more so that is why I think her response more clearly exemplifies my human capital. After interviewing my dad, I think I would go back to part 1 and add that I am goal-oriented and rarely give up when I want to achieve something. Examples of this would be me teaching myself how to play guitar and also making my High School Varsity basketball team after being cut the previous year. I would also probably add that I love to make sure that my peers are having a good time. No matter the time, I am always trying to lighten the mood.
Hi Jose,
ReplyDeleteI liked this assignment, because it gave us the opportunity to think about our strengths, and hear what the people we love most have to say about it. It looks like you and your friends/family have about the same things to say, but it's nice that it opened your eyes to some things you did not originally think about yourself, like being goal-oriented. Good job and here's a link to mine: http://maursfirstblog.blogspot.com/2016/03/my-secret-sauce.html
What's up Jose. I really enjoyed hearing what you thought was great about your self and also the videos that backed out your points. It seems certain that you pay much attention to detail which I really think is a great trait to have as a person because it makes you not miss anything and always be on track. Your fellow peers seem to think your a methodical person and I truly believe that you know your self pretty well just by reading this assignment. check mine out!http://gerb95.blogspot.com/2016/03/my-secret-sauce.html
ReplyDeleteHey Jose, I really enjoyed your post. I found your five things to be interesting and unique. There are a lot of positives about yourself in your five things – specifically how you’re not one-dimensional, how you speak multiple languages, and how you’re slow and methodical. I think a lot of people want to rush through things and not pay attention to detail. However, you’re the exact opposite which is an awesome quality.
