response to the case study material

this case study paper that we are going to do for class is not like any other paper ive done because its not like a regular 5 paragraph paper.  it will have breaks in the pages.  in this case study we are trying to figure out each of our personalities and how we interact with the people in this case study.  the tough part about this case study will be describing the different interactions with those people that we chose to write the case study about.  i would think the rest of the case study will be easier.  the looking at the different personalities from our friends/family will be the easiest part.

Personality blog - response to the videos and articles

my response to the videos:

the hidden power of siblings - this video hit me so hard that it left me in tears.  this video has taught me the importance of the bond within the siblings can be unbreakable.  my mother has told me that nothing should come between you and your siblings.  she has a brother that is back in Greece and that bond between them is stronger than i can ever imagine because even though they are thousands of miles apart, they have never let anything get in between their bond as brother and sister.  when my uncle had visited her back 20 years now, the day he had to leave to go back to Greece, my mom ran over to him and fell in his arms at the airport and didnt want to let him go.  that shows me that their bond as siblings has never changed and will never change.  being the middle child i was sort of the one that lacked attention.  my parents did have favorites, my mother for example has my older brother as a favorite and my father has me as a favorite.  my sister on the other had was the last born, and let me tell you something, she was a wild child.  the IQ segment in the video is true about our family because my older brother is the smartest of all three of us and i can say that i'm brighter than my sister but we all had different personalities.  Georgia is the athlete of the family, Pano is the brains of the family, and me, well i dont know yet but im the more caring of the three.  i have created a greater bond between my cousin than my brother.  this concept is like the guy said that the middle child is more likely to create bonds outside of the family, and it is true in my case.  my personality is molded by how our bond between us siblings is.  my siblings have taught me love, when to stand up for myself.  i can say that i have a stronger bond between my sister than i do my brother because its that sisterly bond every sister has between each other.


Your body language shapes who you are - your body language does shape who you are.  i, myself, am more confined and tend to hunch over and make myself smaller because i think im not powerful.  i feel like i cant fake it until i make it, i dont think i can make it at all.  i have no confidence in myself.  personalities are not fixed they can change over the years because i think your personality changes from who you surround yourself with.  i think it is very important to have a personality because your personality is what defines you a person.  my personality is that i am always willing to do anything someone tells me to do, cant say no to anything, and i bring smiles to anyone around me.


Seven Things Extroverts Should Know About Introverts (and Vice Versa) - i would think that my personality is mostly introvert because i am quiet and mostly all the things the article says about introverts.  1) We don’t need alone time because we don’t like you. We need alone time because we need alone time. Don’t take it personally.  i always need my alone time, just because its who i am.  im happy keeping some things to myself and being alone.  2) We aren’t judging anyone when we sit quietly. We're just sitting quietly, probably enjoying watching extroverts in action.  im always quiet and people who know me know that im always quiet and i barely talk its because its just who i am.  3) If we say we’re having fun, we’re having fun, even though it might not look that way to you.  when it comes to having fun though i will be extrovert.  i like having fun because i like showing the other side of me.  4) If we leave early, it’s not because we’re party poopers. We’re just pooped. Socializing takes a lot out of us.  i dont think that socializing is my kind of thing because i tend to keep to myself.  5) If you want to hear what we have to say, give us time to say it. We don’t fight to be heard over other people. We just clam up.  i hate talking in front of crowds, its because i hate public speaking.  6) We’re not lonely, we’re choosy. And we’re loyal to friends who don’t try to make us over into extroverts.  i tend to choose my friends and it is because of my personality.  7) Anything but the telephone.  i hate talking on the telephone because of the awkward silence after there is nothing else to talk about.

3 words that describe me

Here are the three words that describe me that i wrote down the first day of class


Caring
headstrong
unique


these traits define me because I am caring, and sometimes I am stubborn for some things that I want because it is for the best.  I am unique because I have a different perspective of some things because I might have grown up differently from other people
