16A - What's your Secret Sauce?

-
Know Thyself


1) What makes me different?
  • Faith/ Spirituality: My faith in God definitely influences a lot of the decisions I make in life. These decisions can literally range from how I treat others to what my purpose is in life.
  • Compassionate: I always live by the motto treat others the way you want to be treated. I like to be treated with compassion, therefore, I do the same. I also think that being compassionate has a dominate effect. When someone shows me compassion, I want to show someone else compassion as well.
  • Persistent: When I set my mind on something, I am determined to complete it. I can see this evident in my studies, friendships, and other parts of my life.
  • Intentional: I like to be intentional when I am make a decisions. Therefore, I always want to make sure I know my  "WHY".  I know that this helps me a lot in terms of figure out what I want to get involved in especially at UF.
  • Positivity: I find that I always try to look at the brighter side of things despite the odds. Being positive I feel like is an energy that can be felt by others immediately and has a good impact on how people view situations.

4) Conclusion:

  •  I think that there are more similarities than differences in how people view my human capital versus how I view mine. For instance,  in the first question I stated that my positive energy  was something that made me different and it was encouraging to see that others saw that as well. It was heart- warming to hear their reasons why. Two things I heard differently from what was on my list was that I had a big heart and I had a good sense of fashion. It was cool to hear those two differences because I never thought of myself that way. These differences properly exist because of perception. People have different point of views on everything; therefore, there are bond to be differences.

    Hi Jess,
    You seem like a great person! I feel like you are really in touch with your personality and what makes you difference. I definitely can relate that it is important to treat others the way you want to be treated and that is a very important tell of character. That is so nice to hear things that you may not have necessarily thought about yourself but others feel about you! This was an interesting assignment and very insightful.

Second Shot at Idea Napkin No.2 1) Who am I? My name is Jessilyn Boakye-Donkor. I am currently a third year undergraduate student at the University of Florida.

My skills include being efficiency, and strategic. 2) What are you offering to customers? It is difficult to see sides of your windows when driving; therefore, I came up with a product to combat that issue. I am offering a way for individuals to drive safely when it rains.  On my Idea Napkin No.1 , I stated that I would create window wipers for the car. Similar to how windshield wipers work, window wipers would do the same. However, after reading my feedback, I realized that this product might actually be...
