1) Describe five ways in which you think you have human capital that is truly unique. What is it about you, exactly, that makes you different? Write this up in a detailed list
1. I think that I have surprised myself when it comes to my abilities. I didn't expect myself to go to college or receive a degree. I also didn't imagine to excel in internships. I have more confidence now.
2. I have a great ability to listen and soak in other personalities and information they want to share. I enjoy learning about different types of people and what makes them who they are.
3. I became good at social media. I didn't expect myself to be good at social media or want to do it as a career. However, through the internships that I have worked, my skill set in adobe grew. I also was able to create different types of calendars and campaigns for social media.
4. I would say that once I put my mind to something, I don't let anything stop me. I have resiliency.
5. When it comes emotions, I try to think about other people before myself. I do tend to reach a middle ground before anyone else because of this reason.
2) Interview the five people who know you the best. Ask them what they think makes you different -- remember, focus on your knowledge, skills, abilities, emotions -- in other words, your human capital. Try to stay away from discussing your other types of capital (such as who you know). Record each interview. In your post, please post each interview, as well as a two-three sentence summary of each interview, explaining what your key takeaways are. There is no time limit on these recordings. As long as you cover the information asked for above, that's all you need to do. (Audio recordings are fine. You'll need to use a platform like Soundcloud to host your files.)

3) Reflect on the differences. How do you see yourself, and how do others see you? Are there differences in how you assess yourself compared to others? What do you think causes these differences? Do you think your interviewees are correct about you? Finally, going back to your list from part 1, would you make any corrections to the list? How?
I would say that people talked a little bit more highly of me than I thought. I was happily surprised. However, they did capitalize mostly on what I said about myself. I wouldn't say there are differences, but they further explained my qualities. I would say that they are my friends and maybe they have to say these things about me, but I also really appreciate it. I wouldn't make any corrections because I analyzed myself correctly.
Hey Emma, I liked about how honest you were with your post and how true you became with your secret sauce. I see that you have been able to open up about your true self and how you have learned and become a new person through the concept of creating a new idea. In my past experiences with reading these posts and dealing with others through my own idea, I have also figured things about myself that make me unique and give me the edge to put myself at the top.
