How to Describe me in Five words

Dedicated:
Throughout my entire life, my parents have taught my sisters and I a lot of lessons.  One that they will always be teaching us is dedication.  They taught me that once I start something to never quit. Growing up I played most sports; baseball, basketball, soccer. I gave 100% every minute, or every inning I played.  It was through the dedication my parents taught to me never give up no matter what the score was.  This is what helped me to excel in sports and life.


Hardworking:
Over the years I have considered myself a good student. I have maintained very good grades ever since I was in elementary school.  I have done this while working twenty hours a week since I six years old.  I would rake in the spring and fall, and mow lawns in the summer.  This is hard work, and I did it all while maintaining good grades.  My father has worked two jobs most of his life and it has always been important to me to be like him.

Humble:
Growing up most people go through the sore loser stage.  You eventually learn that nobody likes a sore loser and you grow out of it.  You also learn that nobody likes a sore winner.  Since I played sports growing up I learned this lesson fast.  Seeing kids Gloat in the face of others made me realize that I did not want to be that kid.  So whenever I experienced success I would nonchalantly congratulate others on their hard work.


Dependable:
Like I said before my parents have always past on lessons to me.  One of them is everyone likes a dependable person.  They taught me that five minutes early is on time.  If I tell somebody that Im going to do something to follow through on it.  I value most of the lessons my parents teach me.

Content:
My parents have always told me be thankful for what you have.  I never understood what this meant until I realized that I was more fortunate than others.  I had three meals a day when others struggled to find food.  I got presents during Christmas while other parents could not afford to give their children gifts.  After seeing how fortunate I was made me realize that I had advantages others did not, and I was not going to abuse them.
