Day 15

Today you did your EDP's. First off, I thank you for being so conscientious in listening to Mrs. Alfano and Mrs. Friedman.

We have been talking about perceptions and will continue to do so. In the idea of your future, how do you want people to perceive you from a working standpoint down the road? Is it different than you want them to perceive you now? What perceptions did you have of yourself based on getting back your PLAN results? Are you working to your full capabilities and really showing who you truly are and can be? Why or why not?

How I want people to perceive me from a working standpoint down the road would be professional. I also want people to look at me and know that I am a hard worker. Not someone who goofs off or is really up tight but someone who gets the job done and is nice to people while doing it. Well this perception is a little different than how I want to be perceived now. I don't think I want to be judged as professional but approachable. I want people to think of me as their friend not as a teacher. but I do want them to think of me as hard working to. The perceptions I have about myself are close like I knew I was better in English than science but the funny thing is that I scored lower in my math scores and I am in Algebra 2. so, in my opinion, those results are not completely true but offer some insight on what I should improve on. On the plan test, because it was not a grade, I admit I did not try as hard but when it comes to school and my grades I try my best and work hard.

I want people to perceive me as an honest and hard worker. I don't just wanna cheat my way through the work place i actually want people to respect me and what i do. This is very similar to the way i am now. In school i don't want all of my teachers to think that i'm not very smart or a lazy kid. When i saw my PLAN test results I felt fine about them because I did pretty good. There is always room for improvement but I think that I'm working pretty close to my full capabilities by getting good grades. Maybe if I tryed a bit harder then I would ssee improvement but i'm happy with what I have right now.

In my future, I want people to perceive me as a hard worker. Also as someone who likes therir job because I plan on doing something I love for the passion, and not something I have to do for the money. I feel that people may perceive me as a little lazier than I hope they do in the future only because school work is not what I want to do with my life. I've gotten a lot lazier with school than I used to be in middle school because school is so boring and i don't like the work nor do I understand the point in homework but I don't mean to be one of those conceeded rebels. However, I have noticed my slipping attitude and am trying to do better this semester. My PLAN test was a little disapointing. I created a perception of myself when I received it which is lower than my self expectations and I plan do work on the things that screwd me on the PLAN test.

In my work carrer I would like to be known as dependable. This would mean doing all your work on time and putting your best effort on it. This is a little different than I am right now. Based on my results I have learned that I should try more. I am trying to become a doctor. This is a hugely educated job. I need to learn all I can and try my hardest. By working to my full capabilities I can become a doctor and a good one at that.

I want people to perceive me from a working standpoint is honest, hardworking, and fun to be around. This is not different then how I want people to perceive me now. Well everyone says that I;m really good at science. And with the PLAN test results I scored below average in that subject. So I kind of have a different perception to that class. Sometimes I do not think that I'm workingt to my full capabilities and REALLY showing you I truely am. This is because when I do something and I have to repeat it overagain I do not try as hard as I did before. Then sometimes I do not voluteer when I know how to do something.

I would like people to think of me as a reliable trustworthy hard working individual in the future. Now i think people percive me as trustworkth and respectable but not really hard working. My plan tests were average but i know i can do better so i wasn't happy but i wasn't angry eather. I am not working to my full potential at the moment. I don't know why i have this thing in my head to save my abilities till 11th grade through collage. If i wanted to i could probibly easily get straight A's. Ive never studied a day in my life.

In my future, I would want people to perceive me as dependable and a hard worker. I want them to know that I will be trusted on to get the job done on time. Also to show that I don't slack off and they can see that I really do take my work serious. The perception I had on myself when I got my PLAN results back was average. I know I am not working to my full capabilites. But I do know that if I try hard enough I can work to my full effort and it will show in my next results. I do show everyone who I truly am, but sometimes I don't show everything that I can be. I think sometimes I don't put all my effort in showing what I can and could be and that could make a difference in life.

EDP's are not fun but can help us go on the path to have a successful career. When i get older i want people to see me as a successful respected worker. this is different from what i want people to perceive me as now because i don't work now but once i get a job i would want people to think that. what i thought when i saw the results of my plan test i was surprised because i hate math and i did the best in that. also i thought i should have done a lot better because i did not do as well as i would have hoped. i thought that i did not work to my full capabilities and i could have and should have done a lot better. the reason was because i did not finish most of the PLAN test and i have to work on time management. this is what i thought of my results on the PLAN test and what i did not like about it.

Down the road i would like others to perceive me as professional and hardworking. Yes, it is different from what i want others to perceive me as of now. I wouldnt want others to think of me as professional right now because im just a kid and i dont expect to be really professional right now. I would like others to think of me as hardworking right now. In the past i have goofed off and not taken interest in school but i hope the perceptionn of me is starting to change. This semester i am really putting my best foot forward and trying my hardest and i must say so far it has paid off. On my plan test i perceived myself doing good in english because ive always been good at it and i did do well the weird thing is i scored low in my reading which i thought i would do good in because ive always been an advanced reader through out schooling. I do know i need to improve in math and it showed me i really need to try hard in learning math. I think I am now working to my full capabilities because I was so tired of being perceived as lazy by my teachers.

Overall, I hope that people have positive perceptions of me. In the workplace down the road I hope they perceive me as a hard working girl who is determined to do her best. Even today I hope that people think this of me. If not, I am not doing my best to showcase who I really am. I want people who I work for to treat me with respect and feel as if they can learn from me. Day in and day out I try to be the best I can be. My plan test scores show my strengths and weaknesses within my own education. All in all, I hope my actions represent who I really am and give people a positive outlook on me.

I want people to percieve me as an independent and smart women when I grow up. I want people to see me as someone who doesn't need to rely on anyone to make a life for myself and support a family. I hope people percieve me as this kind of person already. Not a needy type of person, but strong and independent. Because I was disappointed with my PLAN results, my perception of myself was that I didn't try my hardest and could have worked harder to achieve a higher grade. I think if I really pushed myself to my full capability, I could have done a little bit better on the PLAN test. I always try my hardest to show who I truely am and work my hardest to prove that I can work up to my potential that I have.

Perceptions, as the workplace goes, are a huge factor. I want people to perceive me as a hard-worker. I also want people to see me as a leader. This is about the same as i would like people to perceive me now. I have perceptions of myself from the PLAN test by having to work harder to get a better score. I don't think i am working up to my full potential. I need to work harder to achieve the top of my game.

Candace McHugh said...

In the future, and today, i want my co-workers and bosses all to perceive me as a hardworking, diligent worker who gets the job done and does it well.
Based on my PLAN scores, i believe i am working hard, but not enough. My score isn't near where i want it to be. And to be honest, i have been seriously slacking. I feel I can do much better than what I'm showing, but so many things get in the way that i just never feel like i am ABLE to fulfill my full potential.

I want people in the work place to view me as someone who is an Innovative worker. Which means they see me as one who is a creative person who never leaves something normal. Rather out of the ordinary.
I would like my job to be somewhere in the entertainment field. How I would want to be perceived in the future is no different then how I would want to be perceived now. My perceptions that I have of myself didn't really change when I got back my plan test because its basically what I anticipated. I would say that I am not working to my full ability in school but on other things that I do I do work to my full ability. My reason for not trying so much in school is that the information that we learn in school is not relevant in the field I want to go into so I really don't see a point to learning any of it.

in the distant future id like people to perceive me as a hard worker and a more then standard patriot, because im goin to the marines in a lil more then a year and a half and im gonna need to be hard working and have great commitment to what ill be doing. this perception will be farely different than what i am now just becaus im a bad kid,but ive been trying to turn it around to my full potential but its hard kinda like an addiction, cant really throw it off to be something iim not but im woking to change myself for the better. but anyways i looked at the plan and i realized i didnt work to my full potential, i shoud of at least got a 19 but i gotta damn 14 geez i feel stupid. i didntshow my full capabilities for one or two reasons and they were most likely becaus ei was lzy and didnt really go over the questions and answered them blindly and another reason would be because i skimmed through it. i should of tried to change earlier then now but i have to keep my head high and look on to better things and keap positive.

Down the road from a working standpoint i want people to respect me. I would like if they perceive me as a hard worker and someone you can trust to do things. This is not any different from how i want them to perceive me now. When i got back my plan results back i thought that i was pretty smart in all of the categories. It turns out that i am below average in science. I have always thought i was good in science but it turns out i was wrong. Up till this point i don't think i have been working to my full capabilities. I don't really know why i haven't been, but now i realize that i should take extra time to do even the little things right.

I want people to percieve me as a very diligent worker. I don't believe it is any different than what I want them to percieve me now as because I work hard and try to do my best in everything I do. Looking back on my PLAN results, I look at it and I feel like I was slacking. I didn't get too poor of a score but I know that I can do way better because some areas I did bad on but I know I'm better than that. On the PLAN test, I think I tried pretty hard, but I know I could have tried harder. In everything I do I try and strive for my best. As long as I'm doing it, why not just try my best at it, like school? Some kids come and just waste their time by not doing anything but I figure while I'm here, I mine as well do what I'm told to do. Overall, I basically try my hardest in everything I do and it shows who I truly am.

From a working standpoint, for the purpose of managing to get a job, I’d like to be seen as a hard worker. However down the rode when it doesn’t mater for things like getting a job I don’t plan on caring much about someone else’s opinion of me. That’s different from now because I’m not trying to get a job and so I fined no need to be seen as anything other then Adam Kessler. I didn’t really put much into the PLAN test so I didn’t perceive myself any differently then I normally do, pretty amazing. I’ve never liked doing hard boring work, its not the hard that annoys me though as much as the boring part. Finely no, I don’t put out my full capabilities and don’t like to. Going for my full capabilities would be hard, my problem is I’ve never liked to do hard tedious work. Now though, I plan to work harder so that I can, in the future for job prepossess, be viewed as hard working.

From a working standpoint, I want people to perceive me as professional but fun. I don't want to be stressed out and up tight going to work everyday. I don't want to hate my job. I want to have fun and work with people I enjoy and I want people to realize that. It is definitely not different than now. This is exactly how I want to be seen now. After seeing my test results I didn't learn anything new. It just reminded me of my strengths and my weaknesses. I think I am working to my full capability. I try my hardest in everything. even if I don't do well. I feel a lot better knowing I didn't do good on something but tried my hardest than knowing that I just didn't care. Even if I don't face my weaknesses... I know they exist and we all have to face them. So I do my best and get the results that I get.

I want people to look at me as a diligent worker that does what he is asked. I dont think it is different then how i want people to percieve me right now. I just think I have to work harder for people to see that right now. I think I did okay on my PLAN test but there is always room for improvement. No im not truly showing who I am because I have gotten lazy. I use to be a hard worker but I have slacked lately but am looking to start working at 100% again. Perceptions are veryimportant and it is good to know what other think of you and what you think of others

In the future i would like people to percieve me from a working standpoint as someone who can get the job done. Reliable and trustworthy to finish any task no matter what. Now i have not been able to maintain this perception through my work ethics. Based on my PLAN results i percieved myself through my scores as not fully giving all of my effort. I dont like science or math, and on my scores you can tell where i kind of gave up. As of right now i am not working to my full capabilities. In my mind, im still a kid and just because im not professional or have the best work ethic doesnt mean i will fail later in life. I think most people will always feel the same though, that they can do better because there is always more you can to be doing to achieve success.

I want people to perceive me from a working stand point down the road as a hard worker and is good at my job, i think that is kinda that same as how they perceive me now. I felt that i could have done better and that i didnt really give it my all, i am not working to my full capabilities, i dont know why i know i can do better then i am.
