  • Final Essay - Final Self Assessment

    In truth, and overall, I cannot say that I am very satisfied with my improvements to my ASL this semester. I think I had high expectations coming into the semester, and they were difficult in being realized. One biggest area that needs improvement is the fluency in my signing, especially concerning English mouthing. I am obviously not at all satisfied in this area. This area is one of a great mystery to me, because I have not had that much issues with English mouthing in ASL I. For example, in VJ#3 for ASL I, I did not mouth many words. I guess picking up this habit this semester or maybe not addressing the formation of this habit and being able to ignore it was due to the increase in difficulty and complexity of what was required in ASL II. Additionally, it could be because the videos for this class were done with a partner while the video journals for ASL were done by myself. I think that having an additional person, having to coordinate what we are siging, as well as having much longer notes and requirements made me have to think a lot to produce my sings. They were not the simple, “I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters” kinds of sentences. I tend to mouth more when I have to think about what I have to say. This issue is most evident in my first video journal for ASL II, where I literally mouth every word. Although it got a bit better for the second one, the habit and issue still persists as evidenced my the feedback I received from the professor. I think what hindered my improvement was actually lack of practice. Not just lack of practice, but specifically lack of practice signing with other students about topics that were not precisely covered in class. I needed more practice on spontaneity; my mastery of the...

    Additionally, I have also found and sense of accomplishment and empowerment of being able to generate a piece of art completely from my own two hands with the collaboration of my peers and friends. Another budding interest of mine is music. Throughout my life, I have enjoyed the emotions and message in embedded in music. There is nothing better than getting lost in your favorite song or singing along to a catchy tune with my friends in the car. Furthermore, music has been a way for me to distress and get away from screens. Lastly, to end on a less serious and analytical note, I am the definition of a nerdy cat lady, which is a running joke between my mother and I. This was created from our joint love of our cats, Milo and Marmalade, us bonding over our mutual enjoyment of period dramas and classical films and my taste in old music. Putting aside that I can never convey my entire being through words, I hope that this was informative. In conclusion, I am a not only excited to develop and grow these parts of myself and my entire self, but to discover new elements and capabilities that I can utilize to better as an individual and all the individuals and communities I

I learned from taking the Keirsey Temperament Sorter and the Myers-Briggs Personality Quiz many things, like that Guardians actually make up 40 to 45 percent of the world's population and I came back as 66 percent introvert, 6 percent sensing, percent feeling, and 6 percent judging. I believe both of my results are correct in many ways. Guardians are fun, yet serious people and believe in the following tradition. I feel this is me to a tee because I am always looking for a fun time but know when it's time to be serious and get things done, just like guardians. As for my results in Myers-Briggs Quiz,

  • Essay On Self Assessment

    996 Words  | 2 Pages

    Well I guess I’ll start off this paper by being outright honest. I have never done this type of self-assessment exercise. So I’ll start this paper off with what exactly this type of self-assessment is. These types of self-assessments are meant to help show the individual (me) where my strengths lie and also where my weaknesses are as well so that I may try and lean on my strengths while improving on my own shortcomings. Essentially the Johari Window four regions model that we learned about is a great tool for this assessment. The first region is also known as the open area, which essentially means that this is what is known by the person about him/herself and is also know by others. The second region is known as the blind area in which this is information unknown by the individual but is known by others. Which could be behaviors that an individual does but does not realize that they are doing them. The third window is known as the hidden area. This area is essentially information that only you know about yourself and others do not. The fourth area is known as the unknown area. It’s known as that because this is information that you and others do not know about you. It’s when you take a look at these four areas and see your strengths and/or weaknesses are at and if you allow yourself to become open to feedback you then can improve on your own shortcomings and become a better leader.
