Listening to others will help me learn about people's stories and ideas like during retreats, group projects, and just living on K9. Perseverance is the quality that allows me to continue to push myself through and try to do something even though it is difficult. Times where I had to persist myself even though I was struggling includes the Rope Course, my welding class, and studying my hard classes. Determination is a positive emotion that involves persevering towards a difficult goal in spite of obstacles. My freshman year was quite struggling with the transition from high school to college. College is very different from high school. Trying to keep up with college is not easy; sometimes I stopped believing that I could make it big and lost the hope I needed for myself. However, I changed my attitude to overcome setbacks and challenges because there are many people that believe in me that I could do it. I was determined to make my family proud, including myself. I set goals for myself, and will continue to work hard to achieve them. I like to say I'm a pretty adventurous person because I'm willing to try new things. I have a strong sense of responsibility. I set goals and priorities for myself, and try to fulfill them to the best of my ability. Lastly, I think I'm a creative person. I like to be innovative and resourceful while coming up with new ideas.
