I found that my friends and family come to me for advice, a shoulder to lean on, and way too many favors. That leads many to tell me my most valuable trait is my trustworthiness, and I’m inclined to agree. I believe it is important to be trustworthy and to trust others to help build relationships.

I often find that I give much of myself to others, whether it’s staying up late helping a classmate study or consoling my best friend after a bad breakup. My altruism is a defining part of who I am, and I find purpose in offering care and support, even when, at times, it takes more of me than I expect.

During a personal challenge years ago, I improved a structured feel of forgiveness as I struggled through a time that eventually led me to growing as an individual. Forgiveness is now one of the main things that I believe in and use to solve conflict.

When an important figure in your life (or so I thought) sabotages the loyalty and trustworthiness in your relationship, it is almost impossible not to learn from it and prioritize these traits in all future companionships. Because I look for it in other people, I have grown and adapted it to be one of my most important attributes. My friends know they are important to me because I prioritize them even when I am not around them; when I commit to any kind of relationship, they are able to see my loyalty shining through and come to know that I will support and stand by them no matter what.

When I was younger, I was called shy and quiet by others, but my parents would call me observant. If I was quiet, it was because I didn’t have much to say and was focusing on something else. I learn very quickly by watching others and trying to repeat what they did for myself. I observe the world around me and learn from it.

My dad has always told me that I am very empathetic and compassionate, and maybe that is just one of those things your parents tell you but I have grown to believe it myself. I believe that the empathy and compassion I have for others, human and non-human, is one of my defining traits that make me who I am.

I strive to hold myself to high standards and make decisions based on fairness and being morally correct. This can be very difficult sometimes because some decisions do not have the most ideal outcome. Although, I have to look past this to positively affect myself and those around me.
