...The main attributes I most admire about myself is that I’m kind, honest, responsible, determined, and also being able to create great relationships with others. I have proven to not only others, but to myself that I can achieve anything. An anecdote that recently happened was when I was at Walmart. I was with my aunt buying groceries. As we were paying, I noticed an elderly woman was having trouble putting her groceries back in her cart. As she was dropping them, a part of me knew I had to help her or I would feel guilty and I ended up helping her. Another anecdote would be during school in class. During lessons, there are students who actually are focused on the lesson, but never fully understand it. If I understand it, I do whatever I can to help guide them through it step by step. My grades are my top priority at school because when it comes down to it that is what I will be judged on, not to mention my character. Character is everything. As stated in the dictionary, it is said that character is a “complex of mental and ethical traits“, that those traits, or qualities, are “distinctive to an individual” and that they are “built into an individual’s life.” It is those character qualities, those character traits that determine a person’s response in any given situation. I set goals and put in the time and effort to accomplish them. I believe that NHS does great things overall, and that I can play a part in furthering the impression that is made here. The National Honor Society...

...Dansville takes a great sense of pride in the character traits we incorporate into the curriculum. This Aggie pride has shaped me into the individual I am today. Everyone has their forte, mine are all traceable back to the character traits Dansville has embedded in my life. Some of my most distinctive qualities that set me apart are commitment and achievement which come to together in the form of excellence. The first character trait I have demonstrated at Dansville High School is commitment. Commitment refers to your dedication or devotion to the goal at stake. It makes sense; you need to commit in order to have the drive to follow through. For a goal driven individual like myself, I needed to commit to the hard work of managing my time in order to be successful. I had to balance Dansville classes, Cosmetology at the Capital Area Career Center, and extracurricular activities such as sports, clubs, and family functions. Moreover, I needed to commit to my goals within those areas along the way. My driving force...

...the main obstacles we face when thinking about a self-portrait. Due to this reason, I decided that I need to evaluate my traits, and try and think about who I am, before presenting myself to others. I believe that a self-portrait reveals a very intimate side of an artist. Many of us possess countless traits that shape our character; unfortunately, we are often unable to convey all these characteristics in one painting. Therefore, I have decided to include those traits that I believe define me the most. I will explore these characteristics in greater detail in Section 1.1.2- Artistic Choices in Composition. Assessing External Perception The way we view ourselves may not correlate with the way others perceive us. Despite my internal self-exploration, and my desire to depict my many traits, those traits I wish to depict in my self-portrait might define me during my life and long after my death. It is, therefore, quite important that I consider my audience when choosing which traits to reveal. My perhaps most intimate traits can remain hidden in my other paintings and in my symbolism. It is the conflict between internal and external depiction that will give my self-portrait much depth. I wish to be explicit and implicit, mysterious and obvious, controversial and traditional. Only this kind of self-portrait could adequately capture the complexity of my character. 2 My Artistic Choices in Composition Colors Colors can influence our perception and impact our emotions. It is often...

Elizabeth Proctor is a strong, christian, religious women in the play The Crucible who had 3 children with her husband John Proctor. She had strong morals like following the law and never telling a lie or sinning. Elizabeth Proctor and I had a few personality traits in common in that we are honest, non judgmental and also we both blame ourselves a good bit. Both Elizabeth Proctor and I share the same trait in which we are both honest. One way Elizabeth was honest in the story The Crucible was her never telling a lie. She was known for never telling a lie because she was a strong christian women and lying was a sin. Being honest is also one of my major morals. For example, a way I’m honest is I can’t ever lie and get away with it. I did lie a few times in my life but I end up feeling super guilty about it and confess to it. Also another way I’m very honest is because I’m always telling people the truth and letting them know how I feel about them. When I have something on my mind about someone, I always just come up and say my honest opinion on how I feel about...

...Ice cream comes in many, many different flavors and those flavors can be blended together to make a totally new flavor. This is analogous to the human personality, and I guarantee mine is no different. That being said, I believe the ice cream flavor that most represents my personality is Java Chocolate Chunk. Java Chocolate Chunk is comprised of hard chunks of chocolate, chocolate ice cream, and coffee ice cream. Starting with my most pronounced trait: humor. I equate humor to chocolate.

...not only on the followers of the Catholic Church but all people on our Earth. What I found to be most intriguing about the book was the amount of examples it was able to include regarding the various aspects of leadership and what makes an effective leader in today’s world. These aspects were carried with the Pope from his entire Jesuit journey that was laid out in the 1500’s by Ignatius of Loyola. I found the back-story of Ignatius of Loyola’s creation of the Jesuit order of priests to be very intriguing. Ignatius of Loyola was one of the many examples that strengthened this books representation of how Pope Francis’s leadership traits translate into other walks of life. He demonstrates such positive attributes that can be utilized by people across the world. I found the most powerful part of the book to be the description of the Pope’s character and what he stands for in today’s world. It was very hard to find weaknesses throughout this book but I found one aspect that could have made a difference would have been if the author had a personal relationship with the Pope. I understand that he also participated in the Jesuit lifestyle and experienced the journey that Pope did along with many other Jesuit Priests since the...

...people. A higher authority is crucial for supervising and regulating others as well as being an example of a hard and dedicated worker. Ciulla (2004) believes ethics is the heart of leadership and a good leader is ethical and effective. In this paper I analyze the importance of personal ethics in leadership and how ethics produce effective leaders. The traits’ I believe an effective leader has is; character, competence, compassion, courage, and to be open to change. Throughout this paper the reader will develop an understanding of what is personally required to become an ethical and effective leader. Ethical Leader Traits Leadership is a relationship between people. Therefore, the ability to ethically influence others is a major determination of effective leadership (Waggoner, 2010). Strong Personal Character is possibly the most important characteristic of a leader. A person’s true character is who they are when they are put in a difficult situation. It is the decisions and the morality of a leader that gives them the respectable character that others look to follow. It is essential for a leader to have character because a leader needs the ability to see what others cannot, the sacrifices that must be made, even if the sacrifice is their own. The second characteristic is competence. Having...

...Inner Beauty A few of the many traits that I have are confidence, curiosity, cautiousness, and generosity. I am not only confident because of how I approach a situation, but also how I handle the situation. Curiosity is a trait I possess because I am not afraid to try new things. Whenever something new is thrown my way I don’t knock it till I try it. To me being cautious is my main motto in life. I use it in everyday situations that come my way. Being cautious helps me in every aspect of my life because it helps me think about the consequences that are followed by my actions. Generosity is an act of unselfishness. To be generous you must have the willingness to give or share. Generosity is a trait that I have because I enjoy making other people happy. The traits that I have make me who I am and that alone make me different from everyone else. I am completely different outside of school compared to who I am inside of school. I am the type of people who cares more for other people’s sake then my own. In saying this, sometimes I put other people’s happiness in front of mine. One of my hobbies is reading. When I am reading it is like I am in a completely different world almost as if I am in the main characters shoes living there life and experiencing their journeys. Another hobby that I own would be hanging out with my friends. I enjoy being able to be around people that understand me, and knowing that I don’t have to be anyone but myself and that is more than enough for me...
