Perception of self.

Knowing the type of person we are, our strengths, weaknesses and capabilities, encourages us to strive greater to better improve ourselves as individuals. Having been nurtured in a home with strong moral and spiritual values, I have learnt to appreciate who I am, where I came from and give thanks to God for His many Blessings which is allowing me to be the successful individual I am today. My high self esteem and validation comes from a good upbringing and from the God who created me.

I believe that what you think of yourself plays a great role in what you actually become. One part of my personality I like is that I am self confident. Being this way helps me to face negative situations optimistically. It also enables me to overcome any hurdles I may face going forward in life. I am skilled at cooking, singing and I love to dance. I am the type of person who will go the distance to assist anyone, be it a friend or family member.

My personality extends to me being a caring, loving, powerful and willing individual. My friends believe I am strong, confident, outspoken and independent. My co-workers see me as determined and ambitious. 

9/11

It is in my view that the events surrounding the September 11 attacks were one of the most critical effects in world history. The day marked one of the biggest news events and served as a wake up call for all. It proves that no matter how small or large, how strong or how successful your country is, tragedy can strike at any time. Innocent people had fallen prey because of misunderstanding and conflict among different hierarchies. 9/11 was a show of selfish imposition of beliefs and views which resulted in total devastation with no regard or concern for others. All the tragedy and horror that took place in the days,weeks and months after, have left feelings of fear, disbelief and astonishment in the minds of all and its impact will be felt for years to come.

My name is Devika Singh. I live in the humble yet vibrant village of Coryal, located on the outskirts of Sangre Grande. I am the second of two girls. I am currently employed as a cashier II at the District Revenue Office in Sangre Grande. I am pursuing my BA in English where my innermost desire is to one day become a teacher.

I am a very willing and determined individual and I believe anything can be accomplished once our minds are set towards it. I enjoy visiting new places and meeting new people. I take pleasure in listening and rendering assistance whenever needed and hence the reason for rating myself a full ten. Communication is vital in our everyday lives and it is our responsibility as individuals to ensure that when we communicate, verbally or non-verbally, it is done effectively and so that others can understand us clearly. Without proper communication, there is no way to express our thoughts, our ideas and feelings.
