Speech
My name is Paula. I am thirty year old mother of four children, three girls and a boy aged 16, 3, 2 and 3 respectively. I live with my husband and children in Florida and I am currently enrolled at Valencia for program leading to a degree in Nursing and Education. My preferred learning style is visual and audio and is the reason I am do all my studies online. The arrangement also allows for more flexibility since I have a very busy schedule starting from preparing the children for school early in the morning, doing my online studies in the daytime, catching sleep for a few hours in the afternoon, going for my children in school in the evening, preparing dinner for them after which I go for my nightshift work starting at 11.00 pm and ending at 7.am.
My personality colour is Gold. I love nature a lot and I take every opportunity to learn more about it including reading books and magazines on the subject and taking nature walks with my family whenever I find time. I love thoroughness and I prefer gathering all the necessary facts before embarking on a given project. This nature substantially slows me down as I don’t seem to move forward before I am satisfied that what I am doing is right.
I prefer keeping to myself when I am not with my family as this allows me to reflect clearly on the issues that affect me as well as evaluating my previous actions. I prefer doing more clearly defined tasks as this allows me to set targets and know my limit. Creating my own tasks is motivating for me as it allows me to set clear objectives. I love order and that is the reason I keep a diary to record important events or tasks to allow me execute them effectively and efficiently.
Music usually forms the background whenever I am undertaking tasks that are not so involving. I love all genres of music except rap and country music. However, I am not good at singing. Problems involving calculations and quantifications also present a significant challenge for me. My spatial awareness is also wanting as I frequently get lost in new cities and I cannot easily locate the direction of my home within just a few miles. I take time to deliberate on challenges before making decisions. I have a solid social life consisting of friends and relatives with whom we regularly meet to discuss on various issues as well as share on various ideas.
After my Bachelors degree I would wish to take up a Master’s programme in Religious Education. I love children a lot and that is the reason I would wish to teach at the kindergarten as soon as I complete my college studies.
