When my impulsive tendencies don't get the best of me, I can be surprisingly calm, collective, level-headed, and mature for my age. I can, more often than not, think for myself and research further into what I read or hear about. The latter goes in line with the fact that I'm ready and willing to learn (from the good and the bad). I (generally) try to see the good in everyone and see them as equals. I'm willing to help others whenever and in any way I can. Additionally, I try to make it a point to be humble (without having too little confidence), and I do usually succeed. My perspective is usually optimistic but realistic. These are the parts of my personality that I like, and I express thanks and gratefulness towards all of those who have instilled these values and traits into my character.
