Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up in the church, and reaffirmed my faith throughout high school. Nothing convinced me to leave.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

Brookswood; Lead intern for two years, intern for one. I do Kidstreet and (try to) serve in the Free Dinners

Cloverdale; Volunteered in Highpower Soccer Camp.

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Watching how my parents interact with different people taught me a lot.

My cousin’s continued faith through illnesses, and how she had had an impact because of it. (It wasn’t positive for her, but I was young and not fully aware as to what was going on. I only really remember her attitude and faith.)

Receiving job opportunities taught me various new skills, and improved my work ethic.

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

Out-of-control emotions in elementary school shaped how I handle things today.

Multiple failures in various areas taught me that perfection doesn’t matter; learn from failure.

Embarrassing incidences taught me to laugh off certain moments, because there’s sometimes nothing you can control.

Wrapping It Up
