What I Like About Myself

When I was first asked this question about a favorite thing about myself, I could not think of anything. This was probably because I am not very confident about myself. However, having contemplated it for a while, I actually found many things that I like about myself. Among those things, I would like to talk about three of my good personality traits: being honest, being friendly, and being helpful.

First of all, I like the fact that I am always honest with everyone because it helps me with a variety of things in life. Being honest with people all the time enables me to earn the trust of others, which helps make a better and closer relationships with them. For example, if one is not honest at all and others catch him / her stealing their stuff, people around him are most likely not to trust him / her. Then, this will eventually bring them farther from that untrustworthy person. However, I, on the other hand, have always been honest, so I have been able to build good relationships with people around me.

Another favorite thing about myself is that I am very friendly to people. If I think back to the past, this personality trait has always been within me. I used to move around place to place transferring to different schools few times, and I think without my friendliness, I would not have made any friends at my previous schools. Thus, helping me to successfully adjust myself to different communities, I like this trait of being friendly.

Lastly, I am helpful to people around me, and it is one of my strengths. I like helping people because it gives both the person getting the help and the person giving the help a smile. For example, when I walk up to someone carrying heavy things and help them, it will make him smile and make me happy that I was helpful. Not only am I physically helpful, but also, I am academically helpful because I often help my friends out doing their homework or studying for exams.

Finding out many good things about myself, I realized that I have been always been able to maintain good relationships with teachers and friends wherever I was in the past. Consequently, I hope these characteristics of being honest, being friendly, and being helpful to others will help me again to successfully adjust to my current school, The Webb School.
