Hello, my name is Lacy Johnson; I am a 17 year-old senior at Greenwood High School.
When I think about things I look at them from a logical point of view and I take other people’s perspectives into view also and analyze what their perspectives are. Then I look at my perspective and see how they are similar or different to others. My thoughts tend to be in a wide range at first but then narrow down to what the topic is after I go through my thoughts and analyze others.
I process information best by relating it to things that I already know on the subject. I learn best when I hear the information or by doing hands on activities on the information. I don’t learn the greatest from reading text books, the information just flies by me. That is why I learn better from hands on activities or by hearing a lecture. I am very creative when it comes to certain projects and I always try to be creative with all of my assignments. I struggle a bit with writing research papers, but I can do power points in no time.
I am a very extrovert or gregarious person, I love being around people. I do not have that much trouble speaking in front of people, unless I have just met the person. When I am around my class or anyone in my school or community it is easy for me to talk in front of anyone because I have known them for most of my life and being on the Miss Greenwood Court, 2nd attendant, I talk to most of the community and talk in front of large crowds without being nervous. I am a pretty loud, talkative, and outgoing person all of the time, I love meeting new people from around the state and country. I go on various F.F.A. trips and conventions to learn more about myself and to make myself a better leader, and to meet new people. I am happiest when I am around my friends doing anything from going through parades to playing basketball. I really don’t have a temper, unless a person does something that is offending people that are around me.
I have lived in a small community all of my life. People around me have impacted my life by teaching me about various things, such as farming and working on trucks. Being in a small community all my life has taught me that everyone knows everyone, and your next door neighbor is like your extended family because of how close everyone is in a small community.
I take after my father, as I am told. When I was 3 my father died, so I didn’t know him that well. Ever since the past couple of years, my aunts, uncles, grandparents, everyone who knew my father and knows me say that I am an exact replica of my father in my personality and the way I think, talk, and do things. Even though I am much like my mother, we agree on some things, and like the same things. But I can tell I am just like my father by the way people describe him, I am outgoing, I love being around people, I am very talkative and I just like to have a good time, just like my father.
This is a psychological description of me because it discusses my behavior, and gives reasons for it, and discusses how I think about my process information, and my personality.
