Digital Footprint

[warmup]
Many people think that personal branding is just for celebrities such as Paris Hilton or Britney Spears, yet each and every one of us is a brand. Personal branding, by definition, is the process by which we market ourselves to others. As a brand, we can leverage the same strategies that make these celebrities or corporate brands appeal to others. We can build brand equity just like them. *taken from here so click the link if you want to read more.

1) What image do you think you project to others in school? How about online?

2) What image should high schoolers be projecting to help them be successful in college and careers? 

3) What kind of image do you think your parents would want in your girlfriend or boyfriend?

4) What image do you personally want to project? 

5) Do you feel like you've taken enough time to discover and create own brand yet? (why or why not?)

  1. I think I project a person that does not really care, but really I just don't like to be bothered. I should project an artistic person if I want to get into college. My parents would want someone that had a caring quality. I want to project an artistic quality. I think i know what band I am.

  5. 1. I believe I created a brand in school about me that says that I am creative and fun, but hard working. Online all I really post are quotes that I like which can say something about me.
    2. I believe that high schoolers should be projecting the sign that they are hard working and they listen well.
    3. My parents would want a person who can make me laugh I guess, but is serious when needed. Also they would want someone that would respect me and like me for who I am and a person that loves God I guess.
    4. I want to project a personality that says I am hardworking and loving to others.
    5. I guess I have, but I have no idea. I know I work hard, but sometimes I don't feel like people can talk to me all that much. I feel like I have given the personality that says that I am emotional. - Chumani Wayd

  6. 1. I think I project a pretty positive image to others during school.

    2. The image that high schoolers should be projecting should be a hard-working and trustworthy person. They shouldn't be putting anything that's considered "bad" or irresponsible online. When applying for a college or work, people may look you up and you don't want to give off a bad image.

    3. I think they would want one that is a positive thing and not cause problems.

    4. The image I want to project is a nice and hard-working person.

    5. I don't think i've taken enough time to discover or create my own brand yet.. I think it's because I haven't really thought about it yet.

  7. I think the image i project is a fun image.

    They should project an image that is responsible and positive that shows leadership roles so they can get into college.

    They would want my girlfriend to reflect my personality and be able to either match me or help me better somethings that i do. They would want to see an hard working strong minded girl to be my girlfriend.

    The image i want to project personally is a REAL image something thats me and not acting like something im not. I would want to project a hard working image. One thats creative humble and responsible.

    Yes i think i am because overall i want my brand to be me. And the things that i feel comfortable doing so if im doing something thats making me happy and helping me express my thoughts then i feel my brand is just right.

  8. I think I'm positive, and also funny.

    They Should get good grades and learn how to be more independent for when they finally graduate and move on in life.

    My mom would want my girlfriend to be attractive, nice, and have a great personality.(Not all Bitchy and stuff)

    Positive, fun attitude. And for people to come to me for their problems.

    No, cause I'm still trying to show people how I really act. Like out in public I'm quiet and shy, but I want to be more talkative. I think I'm boring and I hate that.

    What image i want show is that im nice shy queit and hatd working
    I think not really because you have to think over it and you have to think about what you like

  10. I think that I make an image of myself of being outgoing, different, and maybe just a little weird!.

    I think that by being hard working and showing dedication is what a high schoolers image should be if they want to be successful.

    I think it wouldn't matter it would be what I want they don't have to be with them.

    An image that I want to project is that I am someone who knows when it's time to be serious and someone who knows when to have fun!.

    I don't think that I have discovered my brand yet but Im in the process.

  13. 1) What image do you think you project to others in school? How about online?

    I don't think I project a bad image in school or online.

    2) What image should high schoolers be projecting to help them be successful in college and careers?

    No sexy pics on facebook or being mean and stuff like that online.

    3) What kind of image do you think your parents would want in your girlfriend or boyfriend?

    My dad probably wants me to be with a guy who is obsessed with God and is so nice that it annoys the heck out of everyone. I don't really think my mom cares as much as long as he isn't a horrible person.

    4) What image do you personally want to project?

    The one I am now.

    5) Do you feel like you've taken enough time to discover and create own brand yet? (why or why not?)

    I don't know.

  14. I think most of the other people in school see me as an odd teenager who knows a lot of things and doesn't talk much. Online, I try and act the same on facebook and things like that as I do in real life. it bothers me when people talk and act differently online

    I think highschoolers need to project an image of maturity and determination to succeed. that way, colleges will take the mmore seriously.

    I think my dad would want a girlfriend that projects an image of not being crazy. As long as they're not crazy he's fine.

    I want to project an image of someone who is independent and open-minded. Someone who is smart but who also knows how to have fun and who won't put down people's ideas.

    I think I have spent plenty of time thinking about my personal image; perhaps too much time

  15. 1. I project basically myself and who i am in school and online.
    2. They should project the image of a good, applied student willing to learn and succeed in school and life.
    3. My parents don't care who I date, as long as I am happy their happy.
    4. I don't really want to project an image. I am who i am
    5. No because I don't want to. I would rather just be myself instead of trying to figure out what I want people to see me as or how they should see me.

    online, someone thats sassy, people think, that i think im better than others... Until they meet me.

    2) What image should high schoolers be projecting to help them be successful in college and careers?

    Having a good attitude, and trying hard in anything, being ready for anything.

    Someone that it respectful, and has a head on their shoulders, knows where there going in life, gets good grades, treats their mother and father with respect, and someone that will treat their daughter right.

    4) What image do you personally want to project?
    Someone that never gives up, and keeps going even when I dont want to

  21. 1. I'm not sure how I appear to others, but I probably look dweeby. I have no clue how I look on the internet, I try to use proper grammar so I probably appear all serious and stuff, unless I add a face. xD
    2. I think high schoolers should try to have a responsible image, or just be good people.
    3. I'm not sure, they always say they want me to be happy so as long as it was someone who made me happy...
    4. A good one.
    5. Hmmm, not sure. I made a few items that are inside jokes with my friends. I don't think that really applies to what you're asking though.

  22. I think I project the "one (artist) girl" image. You know, like "Hey look that one girl." I get that a lot. Online I'm a lurker, so not many people know I'm around, but mostly I'm the cynical person who can touch on a variety of subjects in a negative (sometimes not) way.
    Look good on paper, during interviews, look professional. That's it.
    Not an idiot. If s/he even says something slang/wrong they don't want it in their house.
    The artist image, but I get that anyways so I'm fine.
    Yes, I sell stuff so I kind of need to know my brand.
