Leader

     The five characteristics that I believe I embody are: trusting, ethical, optimistic, open & approachable, and thoughtful. I am trusting because it doesn't take much for someone to gain my trust, seeing as I'm not much of a skeptic when it comes to people and their intentions. I am ethical because I can pretty much differentiate right from wrong. I am extremely optimistic and I always manage to find the silver lining on any cloud. And I am by far one of the most open and approachable people I know. I will accept and befriend nearly anybody because I am quite friendly. Thoughtful because I love doing small gestures towards the people I love that will brighten their day. 

     The five characteristics I believe I need to work on are: being a leader, being peaceful, being patient, staying focused, and being spiritual. Often times I'll take the passenger seat and let others guide instead. I need to stop that and take control. I love creating a ruckus because silence bores me. I must set my rambunctious ways aside and learn to be more monk like. Patience is parallel to peace so once I become peaceful, I will transition into becoming patient as well. I am easily distracted. I'm like a dog when he sees a squirrel. That definitely is something I must improve on. And finally, I want to become more spiritual again. When I had my sacrament classes, I was the teachers pet and I knew everything there was to know. But once I finished my communion I stopped being as involved with my church, and even more sad, with God. 

     The thing I shall work on this week is being patient.
