"Most great men and women are not perfectly rounded in their personalities, but are instead people whose one driving enthusiasm is so great it makes their faults seem insignificant." Charles A. Cerami
To say that I am an extravert is entirely accurate. I enjoy being in front of crowds, being in group situations, and expressing my feelings and emotions, and opinions. I love to talk to people, learn who they are, and how I can help them. When it comes to emotions and feelings I am the type that is completely sympathetic, and when others are in pain, I also feel that pain. I always want to help make a person feel better in any way that I can. I strive to make my life better through doing good on others behalf. That consoles me and gives me pleasure.
All of these personality traits, are exactly why I am going to be a teacher. It is part of my nature to want to teach and learn. As extraverted as I can be, I also love to just sit back and listen, learn, and assess. Hopefully, through this I can really understand the needs of students and provide solutions to problems in their lives.
I am by no means perfect, and I have a lot to learn. However, I do think that one of my greatest qualities is my enthusiasm for life. It is because of this enthusiasm that I am extraverted, sympathetic, able to express emotion, and be a bit selfless. I want to experience everything I can in this life, and that includes experiencing through others. I have an ultimate goal, but I do not intend to miss anything along the way.
Okay - I have learned a bit about you here, but what was your Type Indicator? How does the way the indicator define extrovert? represent you, or not? What does the indicator mean to you as a student? A writer? A person? Use the support materials available to help you figure this out. ~Ms. A.
ReplyDeleteJoy, I chose your blog because I really liked the name Fancy Dresses and Cowboy Boots. Does that mean you are a country girl? Must be nice to be an extrovert, I am an introvert myself and have to really work at being extroverted. What age group do you want to teach and what subject?
ReplyDeleteJoy, your title definately caught my eye so I wanted to see what you had to write. I am a country girl also and I am most comfortable with my boots on. I do envy you in the fact that you are an extrovert. I definately am not, I do not like to be in front of crowds or working in big groups. I wish I had those traits, but I am learning to do so a little at a time or trying to anyway. I just find it very hard to do, it would be nice to be like you in that way sometimes. I am sure you will make a great teacher
