Journal Entry 1
1. In your journal, write the eight areas of the self-assessment and record your scores for each as follows:
60 1. Accepting personal responsibility
68 2. Discovering self-motivation
68 3. Mastering self-management
53 4. Employing interdependence
51 5. Gaining self-awareness
46 6. Adopting lifelong learning
50 7. Developing emotional intelligence
66 8. Believing in myself
2. Write about the areas on the self-assessment in which you had your highest scores.
By completing the self-assessment I learned that I accept self-responsibility. To some degree, I have always known this. I have faced many outer challenges during my adventure to adulthood. I have always accepted my role in the choices that I have made throughout my life. Accepting my responsibilities in my own failures and successes has played a major role in my decision to attend college. I have decided to no longer play victim to circumstances, stop being lazy, and obtain the education that I deserve. After everything, I owe it to me.
In the “Mastering Self-Management” section, I figured glancing over this assessment that would be a higher scoring section for me. I do have the ability to organize myself. I prefer for things to be well planned out in advance. I am much more comfortable with a plan than just going with it.
As of late, I have truly discovered my self-motivation. I have been pushing myself into more situations to increase my quality of life in general. I do not want to feel as if I am behind my peers any longer. I am determined to make something of myself and find a rewarding career that I enjoy. A few years ago, I never would have scored high in this section. I was far too comfortable with my life the way that it was – just getting by.
Believing in myself, well there are some things to be said about that. In some aspects of my life I’ve always believed in myself. I have always believed in my ability for basic survival. I always have taken care of
