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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was raised in the church, excepted Christ at 6 years old, had some family issues that helped me to learn to trust God in many areas of my life.

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

I am still in high school so I have not had many opportunities, but I have been part of mission trips with the youth group where we have done work on our church, other churches and helped in a second chances program

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

For my birthday one year I did a fundraiser for Charity Water and that taught me how much more enjoyable it is to give than to get

When I was younger my mom did a lot of fun and creative things to get us excited about the Bible and have a love for Jesus at a very young age

I have a lot of very loving and Christ following family members

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:

My parents got divorced when I was 2.5 years old

I have had a some family issues as a result of the divorce
