3 Words

Have you ever been in a position where an interviewer asks you what are three words you would use to describe yourself? Do you know how to answer them confidently?

I was recently in that position. I know that people say you should have these three words prepared, but to be honest, I didn't. I do not know how I would describe myself. Should I describe myself as a person? Or as an employee? Or in any other scenario imaginable. I suppose people that are confident in their talents and achievements would have a better grip on who they are because they have stories and experiences to back up the adjectives. But what about me? That just-turned-20 year old girl who still has yet to figure out what she wants to do. I can use generic words like hard working, team player, etc. But everyone uses those and I don't think it does justice to who I can be. I think I can rise up when the situation presents itself, but how can I convey that in 3 little adjectives? I guess I ought to figure out an answer before my next interview.

For those who know me, what words would you describe me with? Why those?
And for anyone, what three words do you use to describe yourselves?
