Five Ways in which I think I have Human Capital:
1. Social Capital – By speaking multiple languages and immersing myself in different cultures, I am able to connect with many different people and build strong relationships all over the world.
2. Leadership – Through experience and learning, I have been able to motivate and influence groups of people to achieve common goals.
3. Passion – I have always been encouraged to pursue my dreams. I am extremely passionate about sustainability, particularly in the business world. I truly believe that I will make a difference because of my unwavering conviction.
4. Resourcefulness / Problem Solving – I believe I have a strong capacity to find the root of a problem and come up with reasonable solutions under pressure and in a timely manner.
5. Diligence – I am attentive to the work and effort I exert in any situation, and I hold myself accountable for the responsibilities that I take on.
What the 5 people that know me best had to say:
- Girlfriend: I met my girlfriend when I was a supervisor at Starbucks. She talks about my leadership qualities and my ability to delegate and handle tasks. Also, she is someone who knows how passionate I am about cultural diversity and connection.
- Brother: My little brother talks about my intelligence and independence growing up. He witnesses first-hand how I struggled to apply for colleges and receive financial aid because I was the first in my family to attend an American university.
- Mother: My mom and I have always been very close. In this interview, she mentions how we can always have great conversations about any topic. She also notes that I have loved reading ever since I was in Kindergarten and was very studious as a kid.
- Roommate: My roommate and I get along really well. In this interview, she says how she can always rely on my organizational skills and my commitment to my responsibilities.
- Best Friend: My best friend has known me a long time. She speaks about my motivation to achieve long-term goals. She knows I can be confident, sometimes too confident in my abilities.
Reflection: The human capital attributes that I believe I possess are very similar to the ones that others noted. The one that stood out to me was confidence. From my perspective, I get really excited when I'm talking to other people, and some people may interpret that as confidence. I think there will always be a difference in how you see yourself and how others see you. But it makes me really happy to see that the people I choose to surround myself with really understand who I am as a person.
