Introduction Through my personal and work experiences, I have had an opportunity to develop and strengthen my core values. These core values are duty, resourcefulness, change, and commitment. In this reflection paper, I will first identify my core values as I currently see them, and provide information as to their background, third define my current career goals, and lastly, explain how these core values and my pursuit of a Master s in Public Administration at DePaul University School of Service call on to my current career goals. Resourcefulness Resourcefulness is a core value I identified with. After graduating college, I moved to Greensboro, Alabama. I taught in a low-income community. The school that I taught in was financially struggling. Teachers were limited in how much they could print every month, how much paper they had at their disposal, etc. As a new teacher who just graduated college, moved over 600 miles away from home, I had nothing and I had to somehow put together an empty classroom. My resourcefulness came about when I learned to ask for things that my students in my classroom needed. I learned to put my shyness away and ask veteran teachers for supplies they had and could share. I also became more comfortable with asking individuals at fundraisers for money to support my classroom. Most importantly, I learned to set up a Donor’s Choose account to ask strangers to donate classroom materials for my students to use.
