Self-Awareness is something that I have been looking at for the past few
weeks. It started when my roommate and I were talking about the situation with
our other roommate and the issues we were dealing with because of her boyfriend.
This discussion led to her discussing how lately she had been avoiding me. She
told me that I had said some remarks that she thought were personal jabs at her
as a person. I had no idea that the way I had been talking was affecting her in
this way. I had no intention of saying anything rude towards her at all. It
made me think that I should put more thought in what and how I say things so
that I am aware of how I am affecting others. The JOHARI window will be a very
effective way of becoming aware of what I am currently unaware of. I should
also take to heart that I cannot argue with what they say to me. If I do argue
or become angry by what is said that will cause a break in our communication.
In our house we all communicate so well and I think it has a great deal to do
with how open and understanding we are with each other.
When talking
about strengths I am not sure what ones I have actually acquired and actually
possess. I know what ones I would like to have however, and what ones I would
like to work on. I know that I work well alone and with a group and that I can
be independent when needed. I know my morals and what I believe is wrong and
right. These beliefs differ from others which is okay and acceptable in the
world we live in today. I never thought of the importance of knowing who I am
and what I believe until I stepped out on my own.
I am not in that
small group of people that know where they belong. I have already switched
majors many times I would not be surprised if switched it once or twice more. I
have so many interests and I am good at multiple things so it has taken me a
lot of time to find which direction I want to go in.
