God is non-judgemental.   He is the ultimate parent.  He wants what is best for us and is willing to let us make mistakes so that we can learn.  God has placed the ten commandments and the golden rule to illistrate his goals in life.  God is giving us obsticles throughout life to better ourselves and become closer to him. He wants each one of us to learn from our tasks and learn to overcome our weaknesses with his help. We must remember that God is always watching and always right beside you if you need him, no matter what time of the day for what life problem you are going through is will be there.

 Strengths differ from person to person. Strengths are not always what you think you have but what others think of you. I know when people get to know the real, true me more and more strengths show themselves. I believe that I am a very helpful, trustworthy, down to earth person. God has guided me through hardships and life altering events which has developed me into a strong hearten, kind person I am. I know that life has more obsticles to overcome but I know I have the right support team behind me. I believe strengths can not be shown without exposing other aspects of life I am not so good at, weaknesses, like trusting people I first met to quickly. As I have experenced my share of hardships and obsticles I have learned to trust people but learn to trust them more as I get to know them which has helped me find friends that are true. Strengths are also shown with decisions you make in your life, I know my decisions express who I am and what my strengths are.

The most important interest that has shaped my life is the interest of being outdoors and close to nature. Always wanting to being outdoors was taught to me through my parents. My parents have always wanted me to be healthy and active and being outdoorsy allows me to do that without much thought. I believe God created nature for us to love, cherish and learn from. Nature is pure beauty and I love to be within that beauty. Life can be crazy sometimes in this society and when you need a place to escape nature is a place you can. God is the essence of nature he is all that is calm, peaceful, and tranquil in life. When I surround myself with nature I surround myself with God also. This peaceful time with God and nature has helped me overcome some of my weaknesses like being a plan freak and try to balance my hectic lifestyle. He helps me remember that there will always be aspects of life that you can not control and to remember that yes I do have a busy life but if I was not playing my sports I would be bored and not improving and growing into the best I can be. 

 I was always told to become the best you can be by my parents and I plan on growing up into the best I can be.  The best you can be, in my eyes, is someone who expresses happiness, kindness, joyfulness and love to people and the land on a daily basis. Being caring, helpful, failthful, and respectful is also something my parents associated with becoming the best you can. A person should always look  at the good side of situations. You should always be striving to be better and striving for more is an important action to express when wanting to be more.

Showing people that I am caring, helpful, and joyful is a top goal for me. In my eyes, the person you become is not only who you think you are but it is what people think of you. I believe that if people do not see you as a good person you truely are not one. I want to become a person that is seen by the majority of the people in this world as a good, helpful, caring person. I care what people think of me, but I also want to be strong enough to stand on my own and not go with what everyone else thinks if I believe in something else.  At the end of the day, I have to look at myself in the mirror and be happy with who I see. 

I want to become a role model to children because I believe children are good at sensing character.   Children and animals have an almost pychic ability to know if a person is good or not.  You could be as nice as possible, but if you are a phony, they will be able to sense it.  I want to be an all around good and proper role model, one who respects the earth and the people. I want to show the children who look up to me that striving for the best and doing what is right is the best you can do. Living towards your goals is the best way to be true to yourself.

 My parents taught me to always try to do my best and if I gave my best, that was all they could ask for.  I know that no matter what I do, my parents will support me but that they want me to be the most rounded person I can be.  They always want whats best for me and always tell me to shoot  for the moon because even if I miss, I will still land among the stars.

I will continually work to become a best person. As I get older I will find actions and characteristics from the people around me to better myself and better the person that people see me as. I have still made a promise that I will stay true to myself, my values and my beliefs. I believe it is the most important view in the world is our own view of yourself.
