2. Hi,I’m Maryann Gatumbi,I’m an ambivert kind of person with a melancholic personality.I’m
sociable,outgoing,easygoing,lively,carefree,kind person.I’m a self reliant individual who is
thoughtful,reserved and often anxious.I often strive for perfection within myself and my entire
surrounding which leads to tidy and more detailed behavior.I’m a phlegmatic individual
,meaning,I tend to be relaxed,peaceful,quiet and easy going.
My hobby is taking nature walks and travelling to different places to interact with new people
and get to learn different cultures.For the love of nature,I like hiking,bird watching and
conserving the environment.I love listening to good music and dancing too is my
passion.Recently I’m showing interest in intellectual pursuits like reading novels and puzzle
games and independent study.
I am also part of Rotaract club where I have participated in community service at various schools
teaching the underpriviledged and visiting a number of old age homes.Being part of the Rotary
club has given me a different perspective of life which makes me appreciate what I am and
where I am.From a very early age i’ve been a problem solver.i was that kid who would take apart
anything so I could see how it worked and them try to put it back together.
The opportunities around me is social activism and volunteer work in cause areas like
entrepreneurship around the world using my computer,the internet and even smartphones has
helped me to gather knowledge on how I can grow any business.networking events,educational
classes or conferences in the world class learning institution.
I believe that my greatest strength is the ability to solve problems quickly and efficiently.i’m also
determined,ambitious,focused and an agent for positive change.i’m able to express myself
without fear if given a chance to do so. I’m also creative.curious ,I love learning and getting
corrected whenever I go wrong,open-minded,social intelligent,good at conducting
teamwork,gratitude,hope,I’m focused,appreciate excellence and different perspective.
There are certain things that affect my life.Fear is one of the greatest threats that I have to
overcome.I fear that people may judge me if I give different opinions or view so I shy away and
pretend I’m okay with their points since I hate arguments.I fear losing in arguements because
that may lower my esteem .Stress is also another thing that affect my life,this is because at times
the pressure of time when given a task and it’s not complete during the given duration.

3. In the next five years I see myself taking my career path .I desire to be self employed and to have
a leadership position to be my own boss.in five years I would like to expand my horizons by
learning as much as I can,as quickly as I can,with the organization.From there I’d seek out
opportunities at least one or two a year to expand my knowledge through training and
educational opportunities to support my job.i’d love to participate in at least one project geared
toward leadership training,if the opportunity arises.i’d also like to be an active participant of a
strong volunteer team as well.At some point,I’d also like to be considered for a supervisory or
management level role.
In conclusion,I see myself after 10 years as a dedicated professional,loving and caring member
of a family and a better human being.In ten years,I see myself with a sustainable job that pays
enough,a supportive family to live with and a better understanding of life which helps in
seeking peace.i surely want to own an apartment and cars within the next 10 years.A person who
can be sought for advice,help and suggestions,who is a good citizen and values simple things of
happiness in life.
I deal with failure by accepting it as a learning opportunity.I learn from failures,accept
responsibility by not blaming others when things go wrong.The first step I do is to own my
mistakes since it is the right approach.I find better solutions and opportunities to resolve
them.therefore,I work with a right and positive attitude ,keep an open mind and more on with the
task of fixing the problem rather than becoming stuck in fixing the blame.
