Question

3.1 Briefly introduce yourself to your Lecturer, according to the self-concepts. Include examples in your
descriptions. You need to describe and apply all four self-concepts (e.g. my name is Afika I have
an internal locus of control. I failed CRIM module and I acknowledged that II did not study hard
enough for the main test).

Answer 1

My name is Amelia, and I have developed a well-rounded self-concept over the years. Firstly, I have an internal locus of control, which means that I believe I have control over my own actions and outcomes. For instance, when I did not perform well on a recent presentation, I acknowledged that I did not rehearse enough and take the necessary steps to improve my performance.

Secondly, I have a positive self-esteem and self-worth. I truly value and believe in myself, which allows me to have confidence in my abilities. An example of this is when I was assigned as the team leader for a group project, I took charge and led the team to success by delegating tasks effectively and motivating everyone to contribute their best.

Thirdly, I possess a social identity. I have a strong sense of belonging to various communities, such as my college, my cultural background, and my extracurricular activities. For example, I actively participate in volunteer work at a local NGO, where I feel a sense of belonging and purpose while helping others in need.

Lastly, I have a realistic self-image, which means I have an accurate perception of my strengths and weaknesses. To illustrate, when I received feedback from my previous internship supervisor about my strong organizational skills but need to improve my public speaking abilities, I accepted the feedback graciously and actively worked towards improving my public speaking skills through practice and training.

Overall, these self-concepts shape my perspective of myself and how I navigate through various aspects of my life.
