• Attention to Detail: I pay attention to finer details, and I am always finding ways to improve whatever I am doing. I enjoy refining things to make them the best they can be, and I will always pay attention to improvement. I enjoy getting to make it the best it can be and getting to pay attention to the finer details allows me to be fully prepared and fully informed.
• Caring: I always care for others, and I try to make sure that everyone is okay. An example of me being caring is when my friend was upset so I stayed with her until she was okay and felt better. I always try to help other people and approach situations with empathy.
• Integrity: I have been raised to always tell the truth. I am a very honest person, and I will always tell the truth. I always tell people what I have done because I feel bad about not telling the truth. By telling the truth, I can be honest with people and allow them to move forward. This allows me to help people as I am honest which provides them with a reliable source.
• Reliability: I am very reliable as I always do what I say I will do. I can be trusted with things, and I will try to do what I have been told to the best of my ability. I am on time, and I am someone who will be honest with those around me. I try to do everything to the best of my ability and make it the best it can possibly be.
