When I did the strength test back in the summer I had no idea that I would be classified as someone who has Individualization, Deliberative, Restorative, Strategic, and Intellection. When I first read about these words I had no idea what they meant or how this related to anything I would learn at Agnes. But after reading about them and really thinking about what I do in everyday life, I can now see why this five words can describe me.

        The strength that I show the most in everyday life would have to the Restorative quality. To be Restorative means to want to help, to fix, to make a new something whether it be a person or a thing. This can be shown by me because I love going antique shopping. I love finding something that no one else wants, something broken or used or plain, and make it my own by either painting it, or fixing it or even breaking it down into parts to use in a different way or piece. And I guess this can also be applied to people as well. I like to make sure everyone has fun and is happy, and if they aren’t I’ll figure out why if I can so that I can do something to help. Be it leaving them their favorite food outside their door, or a pair of funky socks that I know that they have been looking for. I also think that I really want people to see this in me as well. Because I like to make sure people are happy and safe because I know what it’s like not to be, and I don’t want anyone to feel like I used too. I want people to know that no matter what I will always be there for them, to help them in any way that I can, and that if I can’t, I’ll find someone who can help them.
