What Do My Teammates Think of Me?

One of our activities in August before school began, was to take a picture of ourselves and list words that we feel define us. I have an extremely self-deprecating sense of humor, and tend to be highly critical of myself, so this simple project was a real struggle for me. (The same could be said about interviewing and going through hiring processes--I am not always effective at selling myself, because I always see the flaws in my own work, and end up downplaying my abilities.) To solve this issue with my discomfort, I asked my teammates to think of words that they associated with me. A friend of mine even typed them in and submitted them for me. I did not know what words were entered, until I received the final product. Because they were all generated by others who work closely with me, I truly cherish the final product and feel flattered and thankful for my colleagues.
