[H]eart

1. My children bring me joy and fulfillment in my life. My heart beats for them and I enjoy watching them grow up and become their own person. I love watching them play sports and excel at different things.

2. Playing pool and being with my friends bring joy and fulfillment. I like spending time with my friends and being there for them.

3. Helping others and listening to others brings me joy. I love being able to listen to someone with a problem and trying to help them. Many people just need a listening ear and I like to be that person.

I have begun to like working with school-aged children. I started substitute teaching last school year and it was such a joy on my face to be there for the students.

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

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

I became a Christian when I was a teenager. My granny used to take 5 grandchildren to church every Sunday and Wednesday. I accepted him in my heart and served him.

I have helped in Children’s Church and the nursery over the years while attending church.

Volunteered for Vacation Bible School years ago.

Becoming a mother made a big impact on me.

Traveling and seeing how other people live in other countries has made me more thankful for what I have.

Even though Covid in 2020 was very devastating, it changed me. I had to quit my job and take care of my children. In turn, that inspired me to go back to school. If it wasn’t for that, I highly doubt I would be back in school.

I lost my sister in 2015 to a drug overdose. I gained custody of my niece in 2011 and have been raising her. Once I lost my sister, I knew I needed to wanted to work with addicts and help them turn their life around. I know how it feels to have a drug addict family member and the stress we go through about worrying about them.

I lost my mom in 2022 due to alcoholism. One of the worst days of my life. I want to make a change and help others turn their life around or help families dealing with alcoholism.
