I reminded myself about some general skills such as being self-aware that certain aspects of my persona might be challenging when developing a good rapport. For instance, my Hispanic ethnicity and accent could potentially intimidate the client and evoke certain responses. Regardless of the cultural difference, I felt cultural competent to conduct the interview due to the several years I have lived in the United States. Either way, to avoid a cultural barrier, I tried relating myself to the client
many similarities and many differences, which make us different. While I may not seem like the kind of person to compare to Huck, I have found many things that make me just like him. For starters, Huck’s love for nature is similar to my love for camping the woods. Huck’s father is never there, and when he is there, he’s a poor father at that; while my dad has never been there and left before I was born. But while we have a lot in common Huck and I have many differences as well. From the way we dress
in my mind as a leader is to "never settle". Whenever I can help someone from my work even is he/she belongs to another department, I do it. The more we learn, the better. A complete leader must know about everything, so I always seek to develop in other areas in my work. Thanks to that, I have been able to work in several departments. But this isn’t the only thing that leads us to success as leaders. A vital thing is to have constancy and to hard work. I am proud to say that something that I have
Joining in the 3rd Model IFRC General Assembly. Living in overseas without family had to adapt myself for culture and language. It makes me grew up. I have learned many things from this.

imperfections that must be fixed because that’s what matters most - “Brush your hair, fix your teeth. What you wear is all the matters.” I think this is a strong beginning to the song as the lyrics represent a strong appeal and connection to nearly everyone listening to the song, as it is such a universal topic that I think personally everyone struggles with at least a little bit in their lives, as I have felt this way numerous time throughout my 16 years of living. By having this appeal and interest early on
dreams off the expectations of the people around me because I thought they had my best interests at heart, I never did what i wanted and I even made sure to ask what others expected of an outcome before I took on a task just so I could aim to please them. It was only after an unfortunate life changing event and years of searching for myself that i realized who i truely am and was able to come to a conclusion that if it wasnt for that incident i would not be who i am today.
When starting with yourself, you are changing yourself before you change others. We need to be gentle with ourselves and start with baby steps. As teens we need to keep promises to ourselves, do small acts of kindness, be gentle with ourselves, be honest, renew ourselves, and tap into our talents. I love to change the world, but after reading this book I learned I need to start with myself first. The second part of the book in private victory is habit number 1,”Be proactive”. Listen
