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

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

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up Catholic but did not understand anything about Jesus or his sacrifice for me and went through a period of atheism. In college I studied abroad and through a roommate met staff from a Christian campus group that were able to explain the gospel. The moment one of the staff members explained how we have all sinned or done “bad things” but that Jesus came to take our punishment from God so that we may know him and that in return out of love we put Jesus first in our hearts rather than our own desires, I decided to accept the gift Jesus was freely giving me.

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

GCC- Kid Zone substitute volunteer, 2017-2019

Cru, UMD College Park, Bible study leader/discipler, 2009-2012

Cru, UMD college park, community team coach, 2012-2013

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

Having a family that loved me well

Studying abroad

Going to UMD

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:

It is hard to call it a negative experience because it was sad but not really “negative”, but my mother passing away

All four years of being an engineering major

My year as a nurse
