“Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures,” once stated by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Completing the MBTI made me more aware of my preferences. My designation was ISTJ, which meant I was a quiet, practical, goal oriented person that take pleasure in being orderly and organized in every aspect of my life. The majority of the findings were as expected, I had slight to moderate preferences for each dichotomy. Though I fall into a set MBTI type, I tend to switch between types depending on my environment.

Dan Simmons, an American author, once said, “A hero. You want to be one of those rare human beings who make history, rather than merely watch it flow around them like water around a rock.” Heroes are ordinary people that stand up for what they believe in, even if they stand alone. Heros are fearless at times when the challenges seem impossible. They are everyday people doing extraordinary things. Despite their flaws, heroes make the world a better place to live in. They have the power to inspire…

When people think of the word hero they might picture a superhero or someone with huge muscles and fantastical superpowers. But a hero can also be kind and caring. They should put others before themselves and other peoples’ needs in front of their own. To me, a true hero must be willing to sacrifice their own personal wants and cares in order to help make others happy.

How about someone who’s been paralyzed for 18 years and in constant pain everyday reason why this person had to take painkillers high doses to numb his pain. Not exactly what we picture as a hero but that person was my hero and his name…

I’ve been waiting a long time for the Meyers-Briggs test, so I was excited for today. My code is isfp. I’ve had some background in Meyers-Briggs, and I took it before in AVID, so I had some idea what my personality traits are. I’m not surprised to find out that I’m an introvert. I keep to myself a lot, and I’m always uncomfortable in social situations. That being said, I was surprised to find out I’m a sensing person. I’m conflicted with that. Yes, I like to see definite things to make sure…
