Week 5 - Personal History


5. What do you see as your personal strengths?

 MOM:
I believe that one of my personal strengths is my sense of humor.  I love to laugh and tell jokes. My children and grandchildren can testify about my sometimes sarcastic sense of humor.  I try to see the humor in all kinds of situations.  Another personal strength is how much I love and adore my children and grandchildren.  I love to be with them and do activities with them.  I love to learn, and I love to read all kinds of books.  I also try to be honest and trustworthy. Another personal strength is the fact that I believe in my religion.  I have a testimony of the truth of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  I was married in the Salt Lake Temple on August 10, 1971.  Currently, I am ward librarian with Jenny.  
 
JACKIE:
I see my personal strengths are in art and being kind.   I enjoy the arts and I am glad that my hobby was strengthened through going to classes and learning art in school.  What I love the most is oil painting, and painting from photographs.   The painting becomes one of a kind with brush strokes and color.   I have been shy most of my life, but along with art, since it art is a quiet activity, I feel that I am sensitive, kind, and a caring person.   It seems others in the media are not this way, and are only very selfish.   Anyway, art and my personality has helped me become more talkative now, but also remain grounded in what is most important in life.   I also feel a personal strength is to be LDS.   I am so happy to be a part of this religion.  It means so much more then just knowing that we have the Book of Mormon to read and understand.   With being LDS I find that happiness and optimism have been a huge part of how I look at Art, and the future.  
 
STACY:
My personal strengths are that I am organized, creative, funny, kind and have a love for learning.  I enjoy organizing and scheduling things.  That probably is what makes me a great project manager at my work.  I like to be creative with design, graphics and color.  I have the same sarcastic humor as my mother.  My son Johnny is also funny and sarcastic too.  We love to laugh and find humor in things.  I am kind and have empathy for others.  I love my family and friends and try to be kind to them and make sure others are kind to them too.  I love learning new things.  I did go to college for a total of 8 years and achieved two master's and a bachelor of science with a minor in business.  I am still studying now.  I got my architect's license, I am a  LEED accredited professional and I am working on my Interior Design certificate now.  I think it is always good to keep improving and learning new things.
