Personal reflection

To list a few adjectives that describe myself, I would have to say;

• Reliable
• Creative
• Punctual
• Curious
• Thoughtful
• Loyal
• Blunt
  

In terms of my journalistic ability I think some of my strengths are writing/story telling, asking question that cause my interviewee to reflect and open up, research, great memory and friendly.

On the other hand, some of my weaknesses are grammar and spelling (both of which I have to work hard at to get right), nerves can creep up (but I don't let them stop me), self-doubt and I can go through periods of lethargy. Another weakness of mine is that I have absolutely NO TACT! I can at times come across as rude because of my bluntness but this definitely something I am working on.

In terms of my career I believe I want to be known for being well prepared especially in terms of background information, asking original questions and presenting a different side of my interviewee. I want to be able to create an environment within my writing that takes my reader "somewhere else." Personally, I want to be known as someone who is friendless, loyal, insightful and generally someone who brings enjoyment to the lives of others.
