DISC

The Personal Profile System graded my answers to say that my personality is Sc. My primary personality being S for steadiness and secondary C for conscientiousness. After reading all of the qualities in a type S personality I have to say that they are very similar to me at work. The direct definition was that my emphasis is on cooperating with others to carry out a task. And thinking about it more I have always been like this. I tend to do well when doing group projects and I am always willing to be explain and teach and have come up with a conclusion that everyone is happy on. I have a great deal of patience and tend to create a stable and harmonious work environment. I come to work to work and not let Small things bother me even though work can be stressful. I guess if I can change this a bit I would rather be a C as they are similar to an S but tend to question more. being to steady is not always good as your superiors might always keep you at your current position since you are good at what you do.

Vision For my future

I think I had the same goals for my future all my life. Thinking about it they have not changed much...
At times they become a bit unclear and sometimes unattainable but they always fall back into place as time passes.
My first goal would be to find a career in training staff for retail organizations. In a previous job I met a great training manager whom really made a contribution to the company by finding interesting and fun ways to get their vision across to the staff. It really raised appreciation to the company and a better way to express this to customers. To make this vision a reality I have to finish my bachelors in corporate communications, get an internship my final semester of school, and begin looking for work!
My second Goal will be to start a family. This has been something I always wanted specially since I have been in a long committed relationship but I wanted t first finish school and find a career in my field so tat I can have more time for children and be more settled in my life. I can make this goal happen hopefully after my first goal becomes true.
My Third and last goal is to buy a home. I have to start young to make this happen as it is extremely hard to do this NY. Currently I have a saving plan now to this.

My Culture Difference

I was born in Lima, Peru and moved to NYC when I was 10 years old. It was a major culture shock for my family and I. At first the language barrier was an obstacle as there is so much slang that kids use, so at times it made it hard learning the proper way of pronouncing words. Mostly all of the kids in my school thought that I was Mexican or Puerto Rican because I spoke "Spanish" and had no idea what Peruvian was. I immediately noticed that kids were eating  chips, sweets and sodas which back home my mother would never pack for me. Soon I was becoming Americanized and eating McDonalds after school like the others. I interact daily with people from France at work and they tell me that in France you work during work hours and once you go home that is it, you put your work behind, specially in the weekend. And then off course they have an envious vacation & benefits plan. Another huge cultural difference that I have notices would be the way people treat their family pets. Specially for dogs, as they are treated like if they are part of the family. In Peru, the rate of stray dogs is quite large and people just do not put as much time and money as if they were another child or sibling. Here we treat our dog like a queen buying her clothes and organic food and my family back home just does not see why....

A little info about myself

Hello everyone!  My name is Roxana, I am Peruvian, 25 years old and I am currently at Baruch College as a Corporate Communications Major. I work for a French handbag company,Longchamp, (hence my default picture), in which I am the manager to their U.S website. They are a family own company which has been around since 1948 and I truly love working for them.  My current passion is my new French Bulldog puppy, Lola.... She is the most friendliest little creature ever, and I just adore her, but she is a handful.
