Thank you Debbie :)

so i was doing a project for my leadership class and i was asked to find three people who know and love me, and ask them to write how they see my strengths in me. This is what debbie wrote and i really think that is was spot on to who i am.... and i wanted to say thank you :)

ADAPTABILITY - you definitely can "go with the flow" or live in the moment. No question about it. I know that it is simply worthless to tell you something a week, or month out. Because, your plans adapt with the day. So, I need to tell you that day, perhaps an hour or two before, to be sure I am on your radar. It means you can be extremely fun - but also I'm sure poses a problem to your friends who want you to be planful. :)

COMMUNICATION - "you feel a need to bring events to life" - that is SO you! When you talk, it is a story, and it is an engaging story. Your body movements, your gestures, each story is BIG. You want your story to be remembered! It helps you connect with others, even those who don't know you very well. It enables to you to make someone feel connected to you through your story. When a person meets you, they remember you. :) Your presence is very lively!

RESPONSIBILITY - You want things you to do be worthwhile and done well. It bothers you if someone does something haphazardly or they lack follow through. You expect others to be responsible - and it frustrates you to the point of dismissing others when they are not. You don't want to commit to something unless you know you can carry it through. I think your Adaptability might get in your way on this one, because Responsibility wants to commit to things and see them done, yet Adaptability says "hey - let's just stop this and go here for the moment!!" Hmm - strengths in conflict?

POSITIVITY - You always have a smile, you always brighten a room you enter. You carry energy and enthusiam wherever you go. You believe a person must always have a sense of humor about life. Life is inheritly good. I think your faith compliments this - God is good, life is good. Woo hoo!

HARMONY - This one is a bit harder. I don't see it right away. I think you do like debate and antagonism. Still, I also know when you speak of your family and those closest to you - you want peace. You see persons similarities, not just their differences. You know that we are all created differently, yet we have common threads that bind us, and should help us go forward as one. I think you do want harmony for those whom you allow close to your heart. I just think it is hard for you to let someone close to you, really close to the real Michele. So, you don't mind stirring it up a bit in those who you can hold at a distance. Once they warm their way in close to you, I think then you desire the "lets all get along" attitude to prevail.
