Hello my name is Michael I am currently 16. My family moved here from Illinois about 8 or 9 years ago. My philosophy about life is to enjoy life, be positive and not to give up. I think one of the biggest examples of this is my being in the DA soccer team for the second year now. Despite my obvious lack of skill and not having played since 6th grade (not counting last year) I still have not given up and I think I have improved greatly since I joined the team even if I am not as good as many of the other players.

My Meyers Briggs type is ISFP this means I fall under the artisan category and more specifically the a “composer” or “observer” which means I am, “Retiring, quiet, friendly, sensitive, kind, modest about abilities, shun disagreements, do not force my opinions or values on others, usually do not care to lead but am often a loyal follower, and that I am often relaxed about getting things done because I am often relaxed about the present moment and do not want to spoil it with unnecessary haste or exertion.

I didn’t realize until it was done how much a lot of this describes my personality such as the part about not forcing my beliefs or opinions on other for example when people do not like the same things I do or believe in the same thing I believe the choice is up to them and it’s not to me to make those decisions for them. Also when it says that ISFPs shun disagreements that also describes because I’ve noticed whenever two people start to get into a fight even if it’s only a small one or disagreement I always feel uncomfortable and like I should leave or something. There is also the last part about not being relaxed about things and not wanting to ruin the present moment. I think this is VERY true because I have always hated time limits or restraints that make me feel rushed and I usually end up biting off more than I can chew so to speak in those kinds of situations.

My multiple intelligence shows my strengths are intra personal, visual/spatial, and verbal linguistic, While my weaknesses are, musical rythmatic, and bodily kinesthetic. This basically means my strengths lie in self capabilities, and visual perception of the world and how it can relate to things and more or less a realist, it also means that that I can remember details such as names, dates, and that I like hearing stories as well as writing them or telling them. which I semi-agree with for example I believe the realist part because I usually try to be as realistic as possible about things but I usually have trouble remembering names, though I can remember dates and stuff pretty well. And I defiantly agree with the stories parts because I love hearing stories and also enjoy writing them or expressing them in some way. My weaknesses are basically conveying emotions, using physical strength to solve problems, and picking up pitch and rhythms and tunes of nature or others that are around us all the time. I agree with the bodily kinesthetic part because I use thing like words and simple logic to solve most problems and try avoid situations were I would have to use physical strength (mostly because of the lack thereof). However I completely disagree with rythmatic part because I always find some tune or beat to something even if there is no actual music around and I enjoy listening to the sounds of nature sometimes and I think music can be great solution to a lot of problems.

My goals for this year are to become more organized and get things in on time more. In five years I hope to see myself in college and again be more responsible and get things in on time more. In ten years I hope to have a job in law enforcement or mechanics or some kind of graphic designs. My morals are to always be honest, own up to your mistakes, live life to the fullest, and never to give up.
