  1. I think I am a considerate person because I would concern with all my friends and also the people around me. If there have someone unhappy or depressed, I would accompany with them and listen to them what they want to tell me, and then I will give them the suggestions.
    For example, recently I have a friend felt upset by something, I want to give her a consolation; therefore, I spent almost four hundred dollars to see a late movie with her. I wanted to accompany with her and made her happy although it was a huge expediture. Afterward, I felt a little affected because she had a smile on her face. By the way, the movie is really funy.

  2. I think myself as a good coordinator, when my friends have some arguments or unhappies between them, they sometimes come to me, tell me what happened to them, and I would listen to their problems and give them fair and impartial suggestions. After the problems are solved, they appreciated me and I am very happy to see the happy endings.

     I am sure that everyone does have their strengths whether it is obvious or not. I think it is important to know yourself by discovering those advantages and disadvantages.

    Take myself for example; I am the person that if I decided to do something I will make some efforts and do my best to accomplish my goals. I really assume overall responsibility for almost everything. My friends said that I am too hard-working. They suggested that I should take a break for a while. Now I am an English teacher in cram school. My colleagues said that I am really patient with my students. That’s why I am popular with them.

    I quite understood what kind of person I was so it is easy to train myself. I knew what I wanted and what I should do. I could control myself by my own. It is also one of advantages of mine.

  4. Each person have their own advantages, maybe some people not show it obviously, but they still have.
    I think sometimes I have a lot of different thoughts from my brain. I usually think different ways from normal people.I always believe that I am an optimistic and tough girl. When bad things came to me, I will think another way to slove it. For example, our family was really suffered before, but what I could do is accompany with my mom,and made engery for the house. Telling my mom, what we confronted is nothing, there are thousand of poor people worse than us. We are still lucky.I always cheer up my friends and my family, that world is still perfect,we have to keep open-minded.

  5. Being an ordinary person, I have a quality that I am proud of myself the most. I am optimistic; therefore, whenever I encounter a difficulty, I spent much time thinking how to do things well instead of being unhappy. Moreover, I will try many ways to think of the bright side of every thing so that I won’t feel I am poor than others
    Because of this, I have a positive attitude toward my daily life and my personality also makes everything meaningful!

  6. I have sense of responsibility. If I have a task or assignment, I will try my best to finish it. I won’t be perfunctory toward things I have to do. I always expect the better outcome, in that case, I will do the task in careful and concentrate way. If I haven’t finished it, I won’t give up or quit. When I made any mistakes, I will try to improve the situation as hard as I can, instead of leave the situation to others. Being responsibility also help me learn more things.

  7. Whenever I encounter difficulties, I will try my best to solve it. Generally speaking, I’m patient and persistent. It must because of my parents. They are always saying that we can’t escape the challenge of life. I remember hen I was a senior high school student, I was afraid of swimming. But the swimming class was required; I have to learn it without any exception. At first, I can’t even move in the water. This situation remained several days. In this period of time, I almost gave up. But I have no choice, I kept on practice. Then, my mother told me that attitude would influence my performance. I didn’t notice before, so I change my attitude to it. Ironically, I found fun from it little by little. I have never thought that swimming can be a pleasure. It is out of my prediction. From then on, I realize that attitude is important. After all, attitude is everything.

  8. I was an outgoing and friendly person. When I was in senior high school, I was an honor sophomore. The thing I had to do was teach and help some freshmen and live with them in a semester. Now I am a junior college student, I am a volunteer at a children home and I have one responsibility for taking care of a seven-year-old girl, is smart and brave, two hours a day every week.

    I like Joyce.H’s personality. She is an outgoing and optimistic person.It is easy to get along with her.And even if she encounted difficulities she still solve them on her own. I considered that is one of the attitude we must have. We should learn a lot from her!

  10. I am a kind girl. When my friends feel upset or meet troubles, I will try to help them and make them happy. For illustration, my sister got hurts and worried about her life. I told my experiences to her and encouraged her looked forward. I usually accompany with her. I hope she will feel better.
    I think I have sympathy for everyone. I like see everyone is happy.

  11. I am an easygoing and optimistic person. I love to make friends. Whenever an idea comes up from my friend, I always raise my hands and say yes. My friends also dose the same as me.
    When I have any goal, I will do my best to reach it. I will never no the result without efforts. I like to take any new challenge. I am very happy if I successes. There is another experience if I fail.

  12. I think I am sympathetic. Sometimes when I walked on the streets, I would see old people selling candies or flowers and I always stop my step to buy some from them. I wish I could help them, and do something good for them. Furthermore, I am kindhearted. If somebody needs help, I would help him without asking repay, even animals or strangers. I think I just wish everyone is fine.

  13. it’s a little bit shy to say my little story~
    however, i consider that i’m a quite independent person, because when i studied in Kaohsuing campus, i only back to Taipei once or twice in that year. And i have never feel sad when i live alone, if i have homesick i would call my parents. i “survive” in school life and dancing life in Kaohsuing on my own. After back to Taipei, i started to travel abroad by myself, i learned how to arrange my travel plan and i made more friends in different places. I hope i could save more money to travel more places.

  14. (success qualities)
    I think conscientious and forgiveness are parts of TJ’s personality and I consider that are quite good personalities. Because when we are not concentrated or feel sleepy in class, teacher is still very hard to teach and forgive our behavior. These qualities are quite imortant to reach success.

  15. I think my drawback is to promise people’s requests too easily. Though I really don’t want to help them, for not making the situation too awkward I will promise them. And sometimes their requests drag the speed down on tackle my own things and leads to I have to spend twice more times to deal with things. I think I should learn how to say no to people sometimes and make myself feel takeing less burden.

  16. As I knew, each person had the most unique talent that no one could compare with, and we always found individual value when we got older and older.
    I am a gentle person, because I don’t want to have any arguments with others especially friends and family. I wouldn’t say no if there is someone need my help. In my opinion, being a gentle person would have more opportunities in the future.

  17. I always believe that responsibility is what now aday people have lacked. No matter in school work or in the job, that is the material most people needed to have. Because people now are afraid of doing too much things, gradually the characters would filled with LAZY material, then, to take any response would just like in the hell!
    But just as i know myself very well, I am the person who always put my entire passion to deal with the things. Also, the responsibility is what I really proud to have!

  18. I’m a kindhearted person; I like to help people who have trouble. I remembered that when I was a child, I was a person who always forgot things. But I always met somebody who was willing to help me. So, I thought I have to help those people who have trouble. One day I saw an old woman carried a big bag, and the bag seems very heavy. I went to help her, and she looked very happy that she can take a rest. When I felt her happiness, I also thought that just only my little pace, gave her a big smile. I felt very happy and proud!

  19. I am very sure I am definitely not a super diligent person. I mean, I won’t work hard day by day, year by year (even though grownups have told us if we want to succeed, we have to do so). I’m not a lazy bone, neither. Not so lazy at least. Virtually, I’m optimistic and outgoing. If something bad happen on me, for example, losing five hundred NT dollars, blaming by parents or teachers, or get a bad grade on test, I will rally myself soon and encourage myself. I believe it is God who gives you these difficulty in order to make you become a great person. Thank to my mom gives me those merits (Well, I think all of them are great merits).

  20. I think I’m an optimistic girl. Whenever I meet the difficulties, I can always look the bright side, and believe that everything will be all right. As long as you believe in, then things will just go as you wish. Also, I’m a person who has strong willpower. Once I made the decision, then I will try my best to finish it. No matter how hard it is, I won’t give up. But my mom said that it is stubborn. Anyway, this is me.

  21. I like to see smiles on everyone’s face so I always try to be a funny person. I like to cheer my friends up because I want them to feel the encourage and the energy. Once, one of my friends who really worked hard on his mid-term, but he got poor scores. He felt very upset, and I tried to cheer him up and told him: it’s okay. We have the second chance, just try to keep working hard on your study and I belive you will do good.

  22. Most of my friends say I’m pretty easy-going and optimistic. That’s true. I think that’s because of my family. Whenever I meet difficulties or being upset, I always look on the bright side. Even though sometimes I feel really helpless and depressed. I’ll talk to myself and believe that everything will past quickly.

  23. I don’t think myself as a patient person. I’m easy to get angry if I’m confused in something. I don’t like to do the same thing again and again, that make me crazy. Howver, I’m the resposible and optimistic person, too. Although I face the thing I don’t like, I still will try my best to finish it.

  24. Every must have their own advantages and drawbacks, these special pasts make us different from other people. For me of course have something special too. I think I am a considerate person, I care about all my friends and if they have something what to share with me, I will also be a good listener. And I am also a independent girl, maybe that’s because I grow up in a single parent family, I should do all the things by myself. Now I also working and earn the money to support my daily expenses, I think these working experiences really make me become more mature.

  25. I define myself as an honest person. For me, honest is the most important personal characteristic no matter where I have been, to school or to work. It has been a major task we learn in life. For instance, the clerk gave me the wrong money before and I noticed that, so I turned the excess money that did not belong to me to her.
    I also think I am an independent girl. My parents were all busy for work when I was young. They did not have much time to accompany with me, so I usually played by myself, finished my homework, and did easy housework alone. Not letting them worry about me, I could handle myself. And another factor was, my father had worked abroad for years so I also had to take care of my mom. Maybe this causes an influence that sometimes I care my friends more than my family.

  26. I ‘m a person tends to more optimistic and more, especially on the work of being a negotiator in my friends or my family. Actually, I do the action of negotiate I would begin with the step of observing. Observe is such an import part in life.
    As I was a little boy I had ever tried to get the ice cube in the fridge beside the oven my mom is preparing the dinner for us. The time I was still at the age of learning to speak. I pointed the right hand with my index finger to the frozen area and the other hand pointed at my eyes, and my mom got what I need.
