Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I became a Christian because I was raised on Christian values as a kid and my mom always made sure I was in church so it is all thanks to her.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

Red Chapel, Rancho Cucamonga, singer/teacher/greeter

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Volunteering at my church really opened my eyes and showed me what it is like to truly serve God.

Going to school at Pepperdine University.

Having my uncle and mom as good role models throughout my life.

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

Going to a public school and falling under bad influences made me learn who not to be.

Having a close relative who is an alcoholic shows me what it can do to relationships.

Having been upset and down and also having friends who are down makes me want to be there to lift people up.
