How do I reflect on who I am?

There are many ways one can explore who you are. Some may choose journaling, some may choose mind mapping, some may choose talking to others. Here are some tips to dig deeper and get to know who you are through talking to others.

TALKING TO OTHERS

WHY: Talking to others can be helpful as we don’t know what we don’t know. Sometimes it is also helpful so we can get perspectives on what we are exploring or even guidance on what to explore.

HOW: You can find anyone to talk to about your curiosity either through your family, friends, professionals in industry, Life Design Educators at the Life Design Lab, faculty, staff, alumni, community members, etc. You can find folks on mentoring platforms like OneHop Mentoring, on social media like LinkedIn or even TikTok and Instagram, student organizations on Hopkins Groups, as well as through offices on campus like the center for diversity and inclusion, mental health resources, case managers, success coaches and academic advisors, and more.

TOOLS / EXAMPLES: Below are some folks you can talk to about reflecting on who you are.
