"Giving a crap about your users..." That's what Gary Vaynerchuk kept really referring to. "To give a crap" was what I found most profound ironically because the truth is he is right. If I do not care about what I am doing but am just in it to make alto of money there is no happiness in that. This Gary guy was right about many things. He loves people so working with people is a must in whatever line of work he pursues. So recognizing one's fundamental passions can relate to whatever major or minor they choose. I think it is imperative that we now look at our strengths so we can not only utilize them in the workforce but so we can utilize them now and develop them with the major we pursue. I guess the compliments that I receive the most are about how I seem to know "everyone". I always shake this off and say "bahh no I don't". But I think I am very good at meeting others and making them feel comfortable enough with me to actually have a conversation and feel as if they matter. I love making others feel like they matter. It really gives me a certain joy to know that I made someone's day a little better. I also am good with public speaking. I like to talk in public although I do get very nervous one could never tell because I can usually keep my cool. These two skills are not my only skills but are what I think is most prevelant and able to be seen when one meets me. Therefore, when I look at my majors and should automatically think how those skills can be transferred into a potential job one day. Or at least ponder the idea because as of right now I have no idea what line of work I actually want. This discerning is very difficult because to give yourself a compliment is a lot harder these days when everyone seems to want downgrade their accomplishments. I think what I am interested which is a language is perfect since I love to speak and communicate with others so learning another language to communicate with a different culture is perfect! Step one complete! Now I just have to think about how that would go into the workforce... Oh man career crossings is going to have their work cut out for them when I step into their office. At least with this assignment I'll be able to tell them what I am good at!

For what it's worth, I think you are wonderfully welcoming and very easy to talk to and I am practically a mute around most people. Whatever you end up doing in the future you wish most assuredly do it well and keep people at ease.
