We are more than a description of roles and traits. How we feel about the way we describe ourselves is a basic part of our self-concept. Thus, you may define yourself by many of the things you do, which could include being a student, a worker, a husband or wife, a musician, an athlete, etc. You also have evaluations attached to these roles. Take the role of being a student. how do you see yourself in this role? Are you passive? Curious? Motivated? Bright? Thus, you have some evaluation of each of your roles.
What are the roles you exhibit in your everyday life, and how do you generally feel about yourself in each of these roles? List the most important roles, and then list how you evaluate yourself in each of them.
For example, if I were to complete this assignment, I might list the following:
ROLE
EVALUATION
Wife/Spouse
Supportive, Present, Listener, Loving, Loyal
Stepmother
Non judgmental, Available
Student
Curious, Motivated
Counselor
Caring, Listener, problem-solver
Friend
Loyal
After you have listed a minimum of three roles and provided some evaluation or descriptors of how you see yourself in those roles, rank them in terms of their importance to you. Consider the roles that account for most of your time. Is this the way you want it to be? Are there any changes you’d like to make?
Submit a one-to-two page paper (include a title page) that includes your ranked list of roles and descriptors along with at least one well-developed paragraph explaining whether or not you are happy with the list. Is this the way you want your life to be? Are there any changes you would like to make? If so, what are they and how might you start making those changes.
A reference list and citations are not necessary for this assignment. Be sure to hack your spelling and grammar prior to submission.
