My 5 Core Values

For this post we were supposed to look at our 5 core values and explain how they pertain to us. So here it goes:

1. Perseverance- I am someone that believes if you start something, you should finish it as
                            well. I am the type of person that I will never stop until I achieve what I
                            want to. I love the feeling of getting something done!

2. Humor- I am someone who is quick-witted and tries to make bad situations humorous
                 somehow. I love making people laugh and I have to say I'm pretty successful at
                 it :P The great thing about my humor is that I use it at the right time and can also
                 be serious when needed.

3. Honesty- I am someone who always believes that honesty is the best policy. I will always
                   tell anyone the truth, no matter what the situation. I do not approve of liars and
                   I do not want to ever be known as one either. If someone is honest, it shows
                   exactly what type of person they are and that is someone I would want to be
                   associated with as well.

4. Family Oriented- I am someone who believes that my family is one of the most important
                               things in my life. I know that they will always be there for me and I will
                               always be there for them as well. My goal is to make my parents proud
                               of everything I do and be a good role model for all my siblings.

5. Loyalty- I am someone that my friends, family, etc. can always count on and they know
                  that I will always be by their side no matter what. I am the first person a lot of
                  my friends and family go to when they have something going on in their life
                  because they know I am a reliable person and that will never change for them.

So those are my 5 core values...hope this gave you a little insight on who I am as a person!

First Post!

Hey! I'm ready to get this blog going! This is my first post out of many that I will be doing throughout the semester for the Happiness Seminar blog as a peer mentor for a University Seminar class at Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, IA. I am a Junior Sports Management major at BVU and this is my second year as an Academic Assistant for Gwen Hart, the professor for this class. I am very excited to work with these freshman throughout the length of this class. They seem like a great bunch of students! :) Remember that you guys can come to me with any questions you may have. After all, it is my job to be your peer mentor!
