      - Traits that reflect me
        
        Career
        
        For what I look for in a career, I think it got that one right as well! I have always dreamt about a job that fulfills me, stays true to my morals, has a positive impact on people, but also pays the bills because you gotta live somehow. A job like that is hard to find so that’s why I have always struggled between idealism and realism, and I am not willing to sacrifice one for the other. I also value my workplace environment. I consider myself flexible but working in a stressful, competitive, bureaucratic place is nightmarish. As you can see, I am highly picky about my job prospects while bearing no stand out skills, watch me be unemployed and unhappy.
        
        Friendship
        
        I also agree with what the test said about friendship. I crave a balance between alone time and socializing time, be well liked but also be myself, little attention but not none at all. This makes it incredibly hard for me to make friends and find one that matters to me, and I also matter to them. It took me quite a while, up until grade 9 and 10, that I truly found my people that I consider family close, that possess the balance that I need, and do not judge me for having different needs than more sociable people.
        
        Empathetic
        
        Taking from the Strength and Weaknesses area, I found empathetic as a trait best described personally. Empathy is something I look for in people that I let into my life; and I prize possessing empathy among a world that seems more emotionally distant. My friends consider me the therapist friend because I make it easy for them to open up and be vulnerable without facing judgment.
      - Traits that do not reflect me
        
        Career: arts, choreographer, composer
        
        Finally, the careers suggested like the arts, choreographer, composer, I don’t see myself actively doing these jobs. I am insecure and my insecurities really get the better of me when it comes to showing my artistic expression to the world. It makes me feel vulnerable, naked, stared down by people. It’d make me drop arts, stop singing in front of people, and dance to my favorite tunes. I am actively working on it but these jobs are not what I see me doing in the future, for now at least.
        
        Romantic: Finding What's Real
        
        The website said that because of my conflict-avoidance personality, I will not talk about disagreement openly in a romantic relationship, this is inaccurate. If I had a partner, I would value my partner a lot. To avoid hurting them, any conflicts that arise should be dealt with openly, clearly, with two of us involved. I am a direct person when it comes to feelings and relationships. I don’t say what’s nice, I say what’s right, which reflects my High5 strength’s results.
        
        Unrealistic
        
        I think this is wrong, calling me unrealistic is a direct attack on my very high self-awareness and overall awareness of the world. I have bad anxiety and overthink a lot. I do daydream but immediately shut my ideas down with self-doubt and what-ifs. Those factors combined make me think I know pretty well what awaits me and I am not a delusional idealistic person.
- - - - I have never thought I could take a position of guidance since I don’t have that kind of devotion and patience. However, I realize that empathy could go a long way too as you can use it to understand people’s story and show them ways out of dark corners of their minds.
    - - I strongly identify with this strength as I mentioned many times before, empathy is something really important to me. I don’t let my judgements get the better of me and rely on empathy to further understand me and people I love.
- - - - I personally struggled with my mental health. It has gotten really over the years and I experienced some anxious, depressive symptoms and I seek out alternative ways to cope with that were not healthy. I have seek out help and on medications right now. There are many people like me that needs help, people who feel like their existence are burdens on other people. I want to be there for the, remind them that that is not true, that they are valid and we need them to live. I also recognized my strength as an empathetic, tender minded individual and I think I can use that to help people further. Human minds and behavious are so complex and scary and I wish to understand it more.
    - - My family has not always been well off, we had times of struggling and barely made enough to live. Growing up, my grandparents and other family members were older than everyone’s else grandparents since I was born rather late. The old age took great toll on them as they fell sick often. I’ve witnessed the struggles of my parents to take care and look after the elderly when they are in sickness, and the pain when they transitioned to another realm. I know that not every elderly have the same privilege of a loving caring family so I want to do that for them, help them in their last years of living and give them the most memorable days left. Furthermore, my parents aspire to open a nursing home for elderly in Vietnam and that really inspire me to become a social worker to help lonely old people, people with disabilities and other people in need of extra help.
