Assignment 16A: What's Your Secret Sauce?

Describe five ways in which you think you have human capital that is truly unique

1. Network: I believe in my short time already here at UF, I have established a solid foundation in my entrepreneurial network. I have friends that have ideas for businesses, starting businesses, and already have successful businesses. This opens the door to so much opportunity, such as furthering connections with manufacturers and distributors. I also so many mentors that I can always bounce my ideas off of.

2. Leadership Experience: I believe that every important business has to have a strong leadership at its' core. All of high school I was able to hold many leadership positions, such as president as SNHS, or an instructor in Seido Karate. Over the years, I have been able to adjust my leadership style into a way that allows me to better to communicate with others, and facilitate a productive environment.

3. Ability to Plan Ahead: I am able to look five years down the road, and have a pretty good idea about what my life is going to look like. This allows me to make each and every day productive and effective towards my goals. For instance, I knew in high school that I would be a Gator, which meant that I had to put in a lot of effort into my grades and extracurricular's. And here I am now :)

4. Constant Personal Development: Each and every day, my day starts by viewing my dream board. This gives me the motivation to read my personal development books each day, as well as listen to leadership audios. I find that I have been constantly growing as an individual over these past few months. For example, I find it easier to start and hold conversations with strangers.

5. Ability to Encourage Others: Whenever I see my friends that are struggling, or just need some positivity in their life, I always step in and give them the encouragement they need. I explain how they are simply just going over a hurdle, and the finish line is closer than they think. This includes struggles with school, family, or other friends. I can get people to see the big picture and to keep working towards it.

Reflect on Differences


I think my family, friends, and boyfriend did a really good job of describing my attributes. I agree with everything they said, even if it would not be the first thing that would come to mind about myself. However, when I thought about those attributes, I could think of examples in my life that would support that. I would not change my original list, because I believe that the things that they said can be used as supporting statements underneath each one.
