Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I fell in love with Jesus at a young age, growing up having parents who spiritually led me and a church who shaped my values and helped me continue to grow in my love for the Lord. I accepted Christ at 9 years old, recognizing that I needed a savior and that Jesus died and rose from the dead for me. By middle school, I loved reading books by John Piper and CS Lewis, along with volunteering in worship ministry. Although I had a deep love for God, it was not until High School that I recognized the deep grace and love that God offered me, leading me to a heart that desired obedience. It changed the way that I looked at kids in my school, my family, and myself. To this day, I aspire to live a life changed by the gospel coming into adulthood and beyond.
