My secret sauce

1) Describe five ways in which you think you have human capital that is truly unique. 

• Because my family didn't force any religion on me, my "spirituality" was rooted in experience rather than tradition.
• My humor tends to push the boundaries of what is generally accepted. I enjoy joking about subjects that people may find uncomfortable, pretty much the opposite of political correctness. 
• Ever since I was young, I cared about my appearance a bit more than others, whether it was the clothes I was wearing, my shoes, or my hair. I guess the term would be metrosexual.
• Due to my upbringing, I would say I have a very open mind. I am always taking bits of knowledge from different ideologies and I never immediately dismiss anyones views.
• I have had a passion for art and design since I was little and it has stuck with me up to this point.

2) Interview the five people who know you the best.

• Mom - My mom knows me the best by far so I wasn't surprised when she was touching on topics that I have in my own list. She also reminded me of huge aspects of myself that I forgot about like my "aesthetic." 

• Arianna - What she said is pretty spot on. I do find it easy to get along with people but I am also very opinionated and I won't shy away from telling people how I feel. 

• Dad - The video cut off because my phone ran out of space but he finished off by saying I have the ability to stand out when I walk into a room. He said I was creative which was similar to one of the attributes I chose for myself. He also said I had an interesting way of looking at things which I am not quite sure what he means.

• Jed - What he said is very true and even though I didn't put fairness as one of my top five, I do always try to keep things equal. I think he answered with this because I try to give him gas money, food, etc. when he's is driving or stuff like that.

• Sebastian - This was very similar to something my dad said. I didn't expect to hear the same thing twice from the people I interviewed.

Reflection: I thought there were a lot of similarities between what I wrote and what my family and friends said about me. There were also things I had forgotten about or didn't realize until they were said out loud. I think my friends assess me more based off the experiences we've had and my parents assess me in a similar way in how I assess myself. I would say this is due to nature of our respective relationships. Although the way they came to their conclusions may have been different, I believe they were all correct in what they said. If I were to change my list now, I would add what my mom said about the aesthetic I have and also how my opinions are deeply rooted and I proudly stand by them.
