“I do what others expect of me—and what I expect from myself.”

Readily meet both inner and outer expectations

Dependable, self-directed, and disciplined

(Rating: 3 – Middle)
I’m usually in the middle. Sometimes I’m vocal when I feel confident about the topic, and other times I stay quiet if I’m unsure or want to listen first. My comfort level depends on how supportive the group feels and whether everyone’s voices are valued.

If the group is respectful, open to different ideas, and not too rushed, I tend to speak up more. If people are dismissive or dominating, I stay quieter.

(Rating: 3 – Flexible)
I’m comfortable both leading and following depending on what the team needs. If no one steps up, I can take initiative to organize tasks, but I also value supporting others’ leadership and contributing as a team player.

Respect, patience, and kindness are key. Listening to each other, appreciating contributions, and not letting disagreements get personal helps create a positive team environment.

When I get work done in the morning, I feel more productive throughout the day. When I work at night, I feel more creative and focused. It really depends on how I’m feeling that day.

The longest it should take me to get back to a text message is about four hours, usually if I’m in class or studying. I’m typically in bed by 10 pm and the earliest I’m up is 7 am, so outside those hours I probably won’t respond right away.

I struggle with letting other people take the lead because I’m very proud of the work I do. Based on past experiences with group projects, I sometimes have trouble trusting that others will do good work, which makes it harder for me to fully let go of control.

I value diversity and different perspectives in a team. I’m Mexican, a woman, and a first-gen Latina. I speak Spanish, so if future projects need Spanish, I can help integrate it into our work. Where I’m from in Mexico is considered Indigenous — I’m Zapotec. I mainly understand the language from living with my family speaking it my whole life, though I have a harder time speaking it myself. For this class, I hope our team supports each other, divides work fairly, and creates an environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing their voice.

Clear communication, defined roles, deadlines, and accountability are the most important. If everyone knows what they’re responsible for and follows through, the group is successful.
