I actually really enjoyed taking both the Myers-Briggs test and Holland Codes Quiz. I find the process of being able to determine what a person's personality, interests, and traits are just by a few questions very interesting. It is also very cool being able to read about your results because you actually learn a little more about yourself that you may have not been aware of before. This can help you in both the workplace as well as your daily life because knowing your strengths and weaknesses can help you be aware of knowing what you need to do to improve who you are and what you do each day.
Out of the two quizzes the Myers-Briggs test was definitely more accurate in my opinion; very accurate actually. My Holland codes are: SEI and SIE. I was ranked: 7 for Realistic, 9 for Investigative, 5 for Artistic *lowest, 13 for social *highest, 9 for Enterprising, and 7 for Conventional. I was also matched with jobs as either a Community Health Worker, Instructional Coordinator, or a Business Teacher. In my opinion the result from this test did not accurately describe the traits I think I possess. I also can not imagine me having any of these types of jobs.
After taking the Myers-Briggs test I was matched with the code ISFJ. This code is matched with the traits: warm, considerate, gentle, responsible, pragmatic, thorough, Devoted caretakers who enjoy being helpful to others. In my opinion I believe this describes my very accurately. After reading more of what the quiz said of a ISFJ, it matched up with who I think I am even more. As a job it even listed nursing or medicine of some sort and that is definitely what I have my mind set on at the moment.

Success is...
"Success isn't about how much money you make, it's about the difference you make in people's lives." -Michelle Obama
This is definitely one of my favorite quotes because I also strongly believe that success really isn't about how wealthy one may be. I believe it's about the impact you make in the world and the live's of others. It's about touching as many people's lives as you can. Your character as well as how you treat other people should be the most important thing. That's really what people are going to remember about you. I think a lot of people get caught up in what society expects of us as well as having more than others. They think that the more you have the happier you will be. However, I believe success really isn't about money or about getting the best grades and having the most paying job. It's about making a difference each day, wherever you go and with whomever you run into.
I also don't believe that there's that one point in your life where you've finally reached success or that one can be too successful. I think in order to be successful you need to be truly happy and continuously do everything you can to make a difference in this world each and every day. This is why I believe no one person can be too successful. You can never spread too much kindness and happiness to those around you.
This blog post somewhat relates to my last one about reaching my goals because I am willing to do whatever I can to achieve more and more success each day. One of my goals is finding more opportunities to spread random acts of kindness and I believe this is one way I can be successful.

Goal Setting
"If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal. Not to people or things." -Albert Einstein
I really enjoy this quote because it reminds you that in order to live a happy life focus on working up to and reaching your goals instead of depending on other people and things for happiness. To be happy it starts with you, and doing what you can to improve the person you are each day. I also really enjoyed completing the Goal Setting Workbook and thought it was very effective and helpful. It allowed me to realize what I want to work on and improve in my life and gave me the motivation to working up to reach each one of my goals. By completing the packet I learned that it's a work in progress and it won't all happen at once. The calendar at the end of the packet was very helpful in sorting through what to get done and when. However, I do think that was the most challenging part because it is easy to get overwhelmed by things that have to get done and then it is difficult to stick to the schedule.
Some of my goals include:
1. Find opportunities to carry out random acts of kindness to strangers.
2. Drink more water.
3. Go on a walk/run at least once every week.
4. Find time to go up to my Aunt's house to help take care of the animals.
5. Spend as much time at my internship and not be afraid to ask questions.
