The Character Traits I Admire Most In My Life

Throughout our lives we meet different types of people, each one with his own individual personality. The personalities of these people are built upon different character traits they possess. Some traits may include humility, selfishness, loyalty, and bluntness. Most of the time we surround ourselves with people who share similar traits. Everyone usually has one trait he values over the rest. The trait I admire most is benevolence. Someone who is benevolent is a person who will go out of his way for others because he cares so much. In my life, there has been a teacher, a friend, and a family member who have shown to me how one’s actions can be benevolent. Patricia Greene was my English teacher my senior year of high school.

Mrs. Greene showed wonderful benevolence by spending many hours in and outside of class to make sure I understood the material and help me revise may paper. If it was not for her caring nature I most likely would have not passed the class, but because of the time Mrs. Greene willingly spent to help me I was able to pass with the highest grade in my class and I became a better writer in the process.

Even so, she never gave up on trying to provide a better life for me. Eventually she got a good job with the local hospital and was able to buy us an actual house. It was a wonderful house; I felt it was a ‘fancy’ house because it even had a sun room. I was able to have my own room that I could decorate however I wanted it as long as we could afford the decorations I wanted. My mom worked really hard to get me whatever I wanted. I knew that sometimes I could not get everything I wanted, and though I wished I could I did not complain because I knew my mom was working really hard. In everything my mother did she thought of me first, even when dating she did not want a man who did not want or love me. Finally, she meet a man at church one day who loved both her and me. When I was older my mother always attended my school events to show her support for me, and even to this day she still supports me. My mother is my superhero and benevolence
