Assignment 16A - What's Your Secret Sauce?

 I am a very financially savvy person. I manage my finances very well and make sure that I fully understand where each penny of my money goes.

I am also very knowledgeable with computers. I spent my senior year in high school developing java code for a class. While I do not now Java fully, I have a good understanding of it and it helps me solve a number of computing issues that often come up.

 I am a very end-game oriented person. I am good at looking at the big picture of something and not getting caught in the details. For example, I have a retirement account set up at the age of 19.

I have a determination to finish important things in my life before they are due. Rather than waiting to do something important, I want to get it done now.

I am a very clean and organized person. Seeing a mess stresses me out and therefore I have a desire to clean it. This helps me stay focused on my assignments.

Interviews are in that folder and named accordingly

Interview 1 – This person told me I was normally very organized. However, at the current moment they noted that my room was very messy. This is because I was packing for a week long trip.

Interview 2 – This person mentioned I was a people person which I had never really thought of before. I have some social anxiety, but now that they mention it, once I start talking with someone we do form friendships fast.

Interview 3 – This person mentioned how I was very determined once I set my mind on something. I would agree with this statement, I just did not consider it in my top 5 qualities so it was left off.

Interview 4 – “you are cheap” -Patricia McCleary. While I prefer to call it financial savviness she summed it up as this. I agree with this statement.

 Interview 5 – This person was one of my friends whose computer I have built. He agreed with my ability to solve computer problems and build computers.

After interviewing my friends, many of them told me that I am a people person. I did not really see myself that way because normally I am not extremely social, but once I meet a person, I do converse with them well. My friends agreed with me on my computer skills. (this is likely due to the fact that I built most of their computers). They also agreed with my skills in relation to investing and long-term goals. This is most likely because I talk to them about investing often. They also echoed my passion for personal finance when they were discussing the long-term goal quality. I think that I would go back to my original list and add some social skills. I do have social skills but none of them made it onto my list. Instead my list mostly focused on problem solving.
