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.

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

I was

After becoming saved I started attending the College of Biblical Studies that has changed the course of my life.

I was given the opportunity to lead at Higher Dimension Church that opened many doors for me around the city of Houston.

Being a mentor to young boys has allowed me to give back to the community

Going through an addiction and overcoming it has allowed me to really experience the power of God and have compassion for those struggling with addictions

Losing my second child as a still-born has caused me to have compassion on parents who have loss children that way.

Growing up an abusive dad who was on drugs, beat my mom and us has led me to have compassion for young kids who do not have a father or has an abusive father in the home
