Dependable-arriving to work and appointments on time, keeping track of and control of equipment, meeting deadlines, being in the right place

    The author illustrates in the text that the extrinsic factors of family and expectations, as well as, perseverance and motivation, have the most influence on an individual’s success.

Dependability is defined by the Merriam Webster Dictionary as “able to be trusted to do or provide what is needed”. This is one of the most necessary traits that a person needs to exhibit to be successful because it allows for the responsibility aspect to come into the light. Dependability is what gets things done in tight positions where little to no time is available to get others to help. In addition, the same can also be said for dangerous situations. Everyday, we as American depend on our Government, Military, and Police and Fire Departments to graciously give us our chance at the most successful life that makes each of us happy and gives us the strength to get out of bed in the morning. In my life, I exhibit this quality by holding the position of Company Commander of Harold L. Richards NJROTC Bulldog Company. Also, I was given the opportunity to return to Leadership Academy as a Cadet Aide for the sailing program. Throughout the week, many cadets depended on me to safely train them in the handling of small sailboats. In terms of Service, this is one of the most selfless things that a person can give. Through the countless hours of community service taken place from when I could first hold a rake to clean up the leaves for my neighbors the service opportunities that I have taken advantage of hold true to the meaning of help, use, and benefit. This is what fuels the hearts of Americans and those who help others throughout the world. The United States would never be close to the way in which she is today without the help of those people who take care of others throughout the world be taking up leadership roles. From the very beginning of mankind to the people taking on created a telescope that leaves the realm of the Milky Way Galaxy, leadership has determined the outcome of events. This is one of the most important things

In this paper I will begin by defining personal culture and national culture. After, I will then elaborate my own personal and national culture. I will continue to talk about the subject with the person that I have chosen for my cultural group, my mother, and I will identify her personal and national culture. Lastly, I will talk about my own personality and how it has a connection with my own natural culture; knowing this is important, it lets us know who we are, and how we act with people who are from different cultures.

I have something; something that cannot be seen or held; something that cannot be heard or smelled. Something that I can’t quite explain; something impossible to exchange. It lies within only me, it must be my cultural identity. Culture to me, is something that reflects not only me, but everyone around me. Culture isn’t where you came from, or where your family came from; it’s you, and every aspect of you. Culture is your likes, your dislikes, your values, your morals, your accomplishments, your opinions, etc. You can't sum it up in just a sentence, or even a thousand. Culture is complex, it is distinct, it is individual. My cultural identity reflects the person I am today and the person I intend to be tomorrow. My cultural identity reflects

The three factors that I would attribute my success thus far to are my grit, mindset, and work-ethics. My grit attributes to me not wanting or allowing myself to fail by letting me do everything humanly possible to succeed. My mindset allow me to stay focus and achieve my goals and not be shaken by any doubt.

For example, my dream career is to be a pediatrician and if I want to be a pediatrician I have to be patient, generous, and loyal to my patients because if I am not patient and if I do not listen to them there might be a conflict. Dependable is one of the most important strengths out of all my strengths that my brother has mentioned. The reason why I think dependable is an important strength is because if you are going apply for anything the first thing that I will look in a person is if they are dependable and will successfully do their career without chaos. The skills that are embodied within me that my brother mentioned are quick learner, organized, active listener and leadership. These skills are beneficial towards me in many ways.

Organization is one key skill that will help anyone in any field, they go in from a mechanic to a lawyer it doesn’t matter without organization skills everyday of your career life will be in

The environment, family, and community I have grown up in has shaped me as a person. So far, I grew up in the same house all seventeen years of my life. My personality has grown and molded over the years of middle school and high school based off the lessons I have learned and the things I’ve been through.

“Coercive power relies on the fact that people fear you, and reward power is only effective so long as people value the rewards you have to offer. Legitimate power relies on your rank in the company hierarchy, and recent events

Every culture has a set of cultural patterns, and it is possible for that culture to not be conscious of their patterns. Cultural patterns are a set of values, beliefs, and norms practiced in one’s culture (Lustig & Koester, 2013.) An example of a cultural pattern is having individualism or collectivism. In a collectivistic society, there is a level of dependency on a group. One is affiliated with a group and they all care for each other, physically and mentally. These groups are tight-knit and there is a strong sense of loyalty (Harms, 2007.) A collectivism culture is where it would be common for extended family members living under one room. For example, if a culture had grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins living together. However, in an individualistic culture, members tend to think and act independently.

for me, these talents are represented through my top five strengths that were given to me from a test I took. Two of my signature strengths that I think best fit me and are the ones that will help me be successful are Competition and Analytical. Competition by definition is when someone measures their progress against the performance of others, they also strive to win first place and revel in contests.

I think my Competition strength not only best describes me but, it may also be my best feature that I can tie into to my daily life to reach success and the goals I have set forth.

I’ve be running for nearly my whole life, this year makes 11 years that I have been running track and cross country and it has truly paid off for me in the biggest ways. I think that having the competitive nature will always help down the line in life. When having the competitive nature my talent is valuable because it will influence and even push people in a group to achieve more than others. I will also bring energy to a group and will be capable of energizing others to move to higher levels of excellence. Also, being competitive also gives me capability of adaptation go different obstacles of life. It often applies to the class room such as seeking out highly competitive people and study with them. You will know that you will push each other to learn more, faster. Because of hardships and challenges I have faced during my running career I feel as if I will be prepared well enough for anything coming fast at a me in life, which will also help me achieve success in the
