2. Two personalities important to me: Resiliance and Organization

• Resilience (Family Identity)
  • Desired future self: Hard work, determination, and sense of control and belonging among peers within organizations and careers.
  • Dimensions of self-concept: Resilience will not only allow me to have a sense of control, but also personal worth and global self-esteem; strengthening psychological well-being. It will allow others to see me as an important credential to their mission (peers and career opportunities).
• Organization (Education Identity)
  • Desired future self: Orderliness, cleanliness, and better recognition among notes, documents, etc. for future careers, organizations, and appointments.
  • Dimensions of self-concept: Organization allows me to have efficacy within my life, specifically mastering the experience of how I view myself as being clean and orderly. Organization matters in all walks of life, making my skills feel valued and necessary to others.

3. Aside from resilience and organization, other identities important to me are creativity, independence, tech-savvy, good listener, and nurturing (to animals). Possible career opportunities that might align with these identities I deem important are ones that focus on nurturing/helping, creativity, and management. Some jobs might include business manager, interior design, photographer, animal/service training.
