Brief Background
I’ve always been an optimistic girl, who lives life to the fullest. There’s not a moment that I regret. Living in a
small community, lets you know the people that live in the community and you can help your community out
by doing community service. The community in which you live in can tell you the type of lifestyle you’re going
to have. I’ve also ways liked to help people out and I’m a very caring person who puts myself before others.
Having a career where I can help people would great because I would be doing something that I love to do.
Most Distinct Personality Characteristic
My most distinct personality Characteristic would be my dedication. I am dedicated to the majority of things I
do. I am a dancer and have been a dancer since the age of two. My dedication and ambition most certainly
shows through that. When I do something that I love to do, I am 100% dedicated to do it. You’re only going to
have the greatest outcome by putting your all into something. Having a strong dedication for something can
get a lot done. If you aren’t dedicated, you aren’t going to be happy with your life.
Greatest Strength and Weakness
My greatest strength would be my willpower I have to get things done. I always get my work done and I have
it done when it’s supposed to be done. I’m a diligent, hard worker who has a determination to get everything
done. If you throw a challenge at me, no matter how hard it is I will always find a way to get it done. If I don’t
get something done, it’s okay because you learn from your mistakes. My greatest weakness would be that I
sometimes talk to fast/talkative and am hard to understand. I have definitely have improved with this by
talking slower and learning to make sure that people understand me. I always want to improve on things that
are my weaknesses and I have improved by learning how to make people understand when I talk and not talk
too fast, even though sometimes I do find myself talking a mile a minute.
One Challenge I Faced and Overcame
One challenge that I have faced was that I use to be a very shy, quiet girl, more than I am now. I use to always
be a shy little girl who was quiet in social situations. Although I can be on the quiet side now, over the years I
have broken out of my sell and have become more and more outgoing. You can’t live your life being so shy
because you’re not going to like to be around people. That has definitely changed for me. I am more outgoing
and at my job I work with and communicate with customers all day.
Words to Live By
A quote that is inspirational and has meaning is “There is no finish line, so love the journey.” This quote is
saying that life isn’t a race to get to the end. You should live in the present and live in the moment. Don’t look
back at your past because you can’t change the past, you can only make the future better and to do that you
must start with today. You should be doing the things you love to do. You should enjoy your life and love the
journey your life is taking you on.
