For my personality type, I have gotten both INTJ and ISTJ. I am more sensing in that I don’t believe in having “a hunch” but also more intuitive in that I like numbers and Algebra, which are abstract. I am a good student, especially in math. I enjoy and am talented at doing mental math. For example I like doubling 2s like Christopher in The Curious Incident of the Dog and the Nighttime when I’m bored and calculating and estimating percents on tests. In school, my weakest subject is English. I am also not very good in social situation and often don’t know what to say. When I was younger, I rejected the stereotypes for little girls. I liked to draw trucks in my coloring books as well as play house with dolls. We had a lot of construction going on when I was young, and every morning I would get my dad and run outside to see the trucks coming into our driveway. …show more content…
When I was in late elementary school, I like to play sports at recess, such as kickball, touch football, and basketball, even though I wasn’t very at them. In 4th and 5th grade, I was one of two girls who regularly played, but in middle school I was the only one. At first, the boys would rarely pass to me, but eventually I proved myself. Once, a boy in my class was unhappy that a couple of girls wanted to join a football game. The girls said that they had let me play, but he replied that I didn’t count because I could catch a football. I was glad that had beaten the stereotype, even though it still applied to the other girls. Once, my teacher let a couple of boys play tackle football, but when I wanted to join, he made them switch to touch. It probably wasn’t the best idea to let them play tackle football in the first place, but I hated that I was treated differently. In general think that am an introverted person who defends what I believe
Being a young man in a poor area of Dallas, Texas I use to get in trouble with my friends, just for fun and not care for others. My circle would vandalize poverty, cause terror, and be involved in gangs. All that change once certain friends took the addiction and violence too far. High school graduation was looming, so I took a different route. I could not see myself hurting my own kind.
In 2013, I was selected to play on the only all girls baseball team in the largest tournament for twelve year olds in the United States, Cooperstown Dreams Park in Cooperstown, New York. Baseball has always been a male dominant sport and because of that, I have always been praised for being the only girl on the all boys team. Since I was four years old, I had only played with boys. Everyone welcomed me and saw nothing wrong. However, as I grew older and know-it-all dads began coaching their sons, the same faces who welcomed me, turned their backs.
The DWYA assessment believes that my personality is described by the four letters, ISTJ. I have no idea what that stands for, but based on the actual summary it gives on what I am like, I am inclined to agree with a majority of what it says. It describes me as being careful, patient, thoughtful, and practical, all of which I myself believe I am. I also agree when it says that my shortcomings include me not considering choices not thought of before and focusing too much on the present. An example of me not focusing enough on the future is when I procrastinate constantly and am highly unwilling to give up too much of my free time in order to study because I enjoy reading fiction and playing videogames.
As a child, I have played a variety of sports including softball, volleyball, and basketball, although softball has always been my main sport. I used live in Bolingbrook and was about 10 years old, when I was playing for the Inhouse 10U Bolingbrook Panthers softball team. My father was the coach for our team, so which meant I’d practice a lot with him. I would practice extra after school, focusing on my main positions on the field, which were pitching and third base, I would also practice batting. My father had always motivated me to become better in sports and school, he also prepared me for college by training me.
At my elementary school, there was a big field right next to the playground where my male peers would play football. I always wanted to join their game and try to play, so they put me on a team to be nice to be nice but they never hurled the ball to me. This was because I am a girl and they believed girls couldn’t correctly play football, little did they know this made me feel as invisible as a ghost. This is a common feeling for a lot of innocuous kids because they don’t fit in.
I remember lingering onto the field the first day of tryouts hearing, “ Oh who’s that girl?” or “ Is she even good?” from girls that I didn’t even know. I was the outcast, the one who was not even sure if I had made the right decision. This was not the atmosphere that I enjoyed being in; I am the type of girl to have fun with the
In my four years of high school, I have been very active in everything the school has to offer. I have filled up my after school hours playing sports, performing in plays and choral concerts, and working at the school to help teach the younger generations Language Arts. During my summers, I volunteer at summer school to assist in the math classes for middle school and high schoolers while I also have a job being a lifeguard. Basketball, softball, and golf are the sports that I’ve played over my high school career. I’ve participated in four years of basketball and softball, and three years in golf.
"Guys Only, Ladies Forbidden. So you should leave. " As my mouth hung open dumbfounded, the same boys started and protest with the coaches in an attempt for me to not play. It worked.
This included basketball, soccer, cross country, a little bit of baseball, and tennis. At a young age, I didn’t really understand the concept of being able to rely on others. I also didn’t really realize how to fully communicate with others effectively. I was the shy kid who never branched out beyond the select few friends. This continued all the way through elementary and middle school.
I feel that I possess the qualities of scholarship service leadership and character that makes me a good candidate. End School I struggled for many years with my ADHD. That has made it difficult for me to focus in school. But I have worked through it and I'm strong for that I've Sports from 5 p.m. to 8
On very little occasions girls got the chance to play with the boys. “For many decades girls’ only real chance to compete would come on occasional “Play Days” with neighboring schools” (57). These were very special to the girls because this was their only chance to be mixed with boys, while playing sports that they loved. This kept giving girls the confidence and sooner or later they would not worry about not being accepted. “No longer would females accept ‘No girls allowed’ attitude” (91).
Week one: Reflection Paper Assignment The personality type that was indicated from my completion of the MBTI puzzle is introvert, sensing, feeling, and judging (ISFJ). I would say what surprised me the most about these results were the personality tendencies of sensing and introvert. The personality tendency of sensing says I am practical and cost effective.

The result given to me is something that I would agree with. The careers that were given to me through the test ,however, is something I would not agree with.

Growing up in the southside of queens’ public school is the typical for most African American in the neighborhood. But of course, my mom wanted to make sure I wasn’t just typical so for high school I had attend a private school. I was very eager to join a new school but also nervous but to get rid of nerves I joined various after school activities to meet new people and feel comfortable at school. I joined the girls’ basketball, I quickly noticed that I had been the only African American girl on the team, but I didn’t let that stop me from trying to improve my game and make new friends. As the basketball season went on I had noticed that not much of the girls would talk to me, but I continued to rub it off and made the best out of it.
I performed the assessment on January 26th at 9pm, and the assessment is an abbreviation for "Myers–Briggs Type Indicator.” It describes people by dividing several categories such as “Extraversion or Introversion”, “Sensing or Intuition”, “Thinking or Feeling”, and “Judging or Perceiving.” As for me, the result is “ISTJ” which are introversion, sensing, thinking, and judging. The purposes of this assessment are to understand about myself, to build future plans for finding a job, and to improve my relationship with other people.
