About me
INTERESTS OUT OF OFFICE
I really enjoy every kind of sport. I like everything that has to do with it. Since I was a child I loved playing with balls, so my favorite sports are those which includes balls. Such as Footvolley, Volley, Tennis, Football. My parents were a big motivation for me, as both are sportsmen and incentivized me since I was young. Self-defence sports like Krav Magá and Judo were also a big part of my life since I wanted to learn how to defend myself. It helped me a lot in regards of self-discipline and got me out of dangerous situations while I was in Brazil. What I love about sports, is that it brings people together. When you join a sports group, you fastly feel being part of that group and create new connections in your life. I also enjoy playing video games, as it brings people together even if they are far away. I, for example, play with friends that are far away from me and talk with them with the group chat system, which strenghtens our relationships. I also enjoy hanging out with friends, going to the movies, having a meeting at a friend´s place and going to parties. I love traveling with my family or friends because it creates memories and we learn about new cultures and traditions.

MORE ABOUT MY BACKGROUND
My full name is Lucas Weinzettl Adnet Pinheiro. My parents were born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, just like me. They separated from each other when I was three years old. I got used to having two houses to live and moving each week to the other one. Many people may think that this is bad, but I love both of my parents and they have a good relationship between one another. My father still lives in Brazil and my mother moved to Spain with my stepfather and brother in 2016. My grandfather, from my mother's side, is Austrian, that is why I have the Austrian citizenship as well and the reason I was put in a German school. I am 20 years old now and for a long time I lived as the only child. When I turned 12, my little brother was brought to the world and now I can not imagine myself as being the only child anymore. We also have a parrot, named Mia (which means “mine“ in Spanish), who is in Tenerife with us now. Having moved to Spain gave me new connections and friends from the new school and made me learn Spanish. My first school, Corcovado, gave me my best long-term friends ever. Every time I receive visits and phone calls from my friends. Since the beginning, I never felt alone when moving to Leeuwarden. I made friends quickly and I constantly get visits from my friends from Brazil. Just to know that they traveled the world to come visit me, makes me happy and fortunate. I already have vacation plans for the next months to visit my old friends and my family in Brazil and Tenerife. This keeps me motivated to end the semester and continue to improve my skills at the university.

MY CORE QUADRANTS
Core Quality
​
My core quality is to understand other people and know how to approach them, depending on the situation. I chose this one because I think it is always important to understand what others want in order to have a good relationship with them. I could create a good relationship and good communication with my group members, by using this quality.
Allergy
​
My allergy is when people do not care about others and just do what will benefit them. I chose this as my allergy because I do not tolerate it when people do not have compassion about others and only think about themselves. Fortunately, it did not happen in my group, otherwise, there would be consequences.
Pitfall
​
My pitfall is if I let others abuse from my friendliness, they can take advantage of me. This is what happens when you are too friendly and do not protect yourself with arguments. It did not happen in my group, as all of them understood the meaning of group work and everybody did their part equally.
Challenge
​
My challenge is to balance my core quality with my pitfall, helping others, but knowing when to stop so others do not take advantage of me. This is the challenge I need to face when working on groups and I could balance it well in the current group work.
Core Quality
​
One of my core qualities is that I am a calm person. I rarely get mad at something and that helps to keep a good atmosphere between group members. I can deal with stressful situations and help my friends resolve misunderstandings with each other.
Allergy
​
My allergy is when there are people who can not get calm in certain situations, bringing unnecessary stress to the group and seeking to confront others in the group.
Pitfall
​
The pitfall is that in some situations people expect a different attitude, for example, more excitement when presenting, more participation and more contribution as well. Sometimes it is hard for me to impose myself.
Challenge
​
My challenge is to balance my emotions and use the most adequate one for the situation. Maintaining myself calm in a stressful situation and being more proactive in working situations because I know this is going to be important for my future career.
Core Quality
​
Another core quality that I have is that I am organized. I know how to schedule my time to get the work done and I am organized with my materials as well. I keep them in order to know exactly where to find them when I need.
Allergy
​
My allergy would be if someone is so unorganized that they can not even work properly themselves. This affects the whole group and sometimes others need to intervene and help this one person to get the work done.
Pitfall
​
My pitfall is that in group works everybody works differently, so it is hard to keep everything organized. I try to organize my own material and let the others do it their way.
Challenge
​
My challenge for this case is to let others organize their stuff, helping them when they need, accepting that not everybody wants help and understand that not everything can be the way I want.
MY CORE PERSONALITY
My core personality is based on a test I took on the website “16 Personalities“ which shows a certain personality type, depending on the answers given on the test.
The result of my core personality is “Entertainer“. According to “16 Personalities“, I am a person with the extraverted, observant, feeling and prospecting personality traits. I get excited easily and I want everyone else around me to feel the same way. I encourage other people to leave their comfort zone and try new experiences. I am utterly social and enjoy the simplest things in life, like hanging out with friends and having fun. I try to express my feelings by exploring new styles in the way of speaking and clothing. I am also very sensitive to others’ emotions and I am the first to help when others’ are facing a challenging problem. I provide emotional support and give practical advice. I avoid conflicts and try to stay out of trouble. I enjoy the immediate pleasures and find it hard to keep track of my long-term duties.
MY STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES
According to “16 Personalities“, I am original, observant, and have excellent people skills.
On the other hand, I am sensitive, a poor long-term planner and I get easily bored.
