There are many words to describe myself and my personality. My friends or family would mainly describe me as friendly, dependable and artistic. I wouldn't hesitate to agree with each descriptive word. I think that being these things has helped make me into the person I am today, and I am very proud of the person I have become. I think that out of any words you could use to describe a person, these three fit me best.The first word most people I know would use to describe myself is friendly. In all my past experiences I have learned that it pays off to be friendly. I used to work in my brother's shop, The Serenity Shop, and it was basically my job to be friendly to everyone. By being friendly with the customers, and getting to know them on a more personal level, I was awarded more responsibilities. For the four years I was in high school I participated in the basketball team. Being a basketball player also allowed me to be friendly with everyone I came in contact with at games, events and competitions. I learned a lot about myself and others by being a athlete, because it allowed me to interact with a variety of people at these functions. Another past experience that required me to be friendly was being involved in volunteer work at a local hospital. I had to volunteer at a number of different places and help a lot of different people. By being friendly to them I got a lot more positive feedback, which allowed me to help out more. I think being friendly is an important trait to have in life today. There are so many hostile people in our world that I think we need more friendly people around.Friends and family would also describe me as being very dependable. I have a very good relationship with my parents because I have shown them over the years that they can depend on me to get most anything done. I also have a great relationship with my two older brothers and my one sister who currently lives in Florida. My parents know they can depend on me with any responsibility they give me, and that's a good feeling to have. My work experience has also contributed to my dependability. When things got crazy around the store, especially during Christmas time, my brother knew he could always call me and I would come in as soon as possible. Friends describe me as being dependable because they know that friends and family come first to me. A lot of my friends will come to me with problems because they know they can depend on me to help them out and listen. Being a reliable person means a lot to me, and I hope that I will always be looked at as being dependable to my friends and family.One of my personal traits I am most proud of is being creative and artistic. Ever since I was a young man, I have loved to draw and paint; and I have always been enrolled in art classes or art shows. During my senior year one of my pieces of art was accepted into a huge art show at the New York Institute of Arts. Having my art in this show, I would have to say, was one of my greatest accomplishments. My friends and family all attended the show, which meant a lot to me. When I am not involved in my art classes I'm usually painting something for someone or for myself. When ever I am bored I will always find something artistic to do. I love being artistic and creative because it gives me a way to express myself how I want and in the way I want.Friendly, artistic and dependable are all words that anyone who knows me well would use to describe me. Each trait has developed greatly over the years and has made me who I am today. I think that friends and family would be proud of the person I have become. There is a quote that I try to live by every day which goes, " Be who you are, and say what you want; because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." I am who I am, and I like how I have turned out. This quote just reminds me to be proud of the person you are,and stand up for what you believe in. That's what makes a person into who they are.Looking for that special lady who knows who she is and know what she wants and is willing to give me a chance to show her what I have to offer. Must be honest, kind, and down to earth. I love music and the simple things in life.. If you want to know more just write to meTHE STRENGTH OF A MAN The Strength of a man isn't in the width of his shoulders. It's in the width of his arms that circle you. The Strength of a man isn't in the deep tone of his voice. It's in the gentle words he whispers. The Strength of a man isn't how many buddies he has. It's how good a buddy he is with children. The Strength of a man isn't in how respected he is at work. It's how he is respected at home. The Strength of a man isn't how hard he hits. It's in how tender he touches. The Strength of a man isn't in the hair on his chest. It's in his heart that lies within his chest. The Strength of a man isn't in how many women he's loved. It's can he be true to the one woman he's trying to love. The Strength of a man isn't in the weight he can lift. It's in the burdens he can carry. The Strength of a man isn't in how much food he eats from your table. It's in the effort he puts forth when you are unable. The Strength of a man isn't in how much he makes love. It's in the understanding that there is more to love than making love. The Strength of a man isn't in how he thinks he's GOD. It's in the confidence he has believing in GOD. My very special friend in Christ. cars layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com
