Before I arrived at NCOA‚ I wasn’t sure what I was going to learn throughout the course. Some friends told me the course was amazing‚ while others said it is just a vacation and I should enjoy it. Then‚ there are the people who just plain hate school and said it was the worst time ever. I tried to keep an open mind about the course‚ but it becomes difficult when you have so many people telling you so many different things. I tried to put all my opinions and misconceptions aside and give the material

The five signature themes I got on the StrengthsFinder were: Empathy‚ Developer‚ Intellection‚ Input‚ and Adaptability. All these traits will be very beneficial to me as a future adoption caseworker. Empathy is the top strength I got‚ the StrenghtsFinder writes about empathy as “You can feel what they are feeling as though their feelings are your own.” My intuition towards other’s feelings would help me help others‚ especially if someone is giving up their child to give to another family.

Most of my friends that know me well would say that I am a happy‚ fun and kind person. I would agree with this and I also think I am outgoing and easy to get along with. In my opinion I am generous and caring and I love the feeling I get from helping others. Despite all this‚ I must admit that I tend to be bossy sometimes and I can also be a bit of a lazy person too. Since the beginning of first year at the high school I have noticed my personality change. I think that now I have more self-esteem

The Koolaid was delicious For one to truly become ‘The Chief’‚ a strong foundation of values and morals is essential. This must be evident both on and off duty. The Chief Petty Officer Academy (CPOA) provided me with a clear vision of leadership‚ understanding that we cannot achieve success without enduring failure.
