My typing skills are quite decent if I do say so myself. For example, once I was in need
of a great grade in order to improve my overall grade within a failing class. I wrote an essay in a
way that was above average. The teacher was impressed and I ended up passing the class that
quarter.
I feel that research is necessary. I was raised into a military family. My father taught me
to base my information on facts over opinion. While I stay true to this most times (excluding
politics) I believe that history is the most important thing to our great nation.
 Reading is a thing that I quite enjoy. For example, I read the entire Lord of The Rings
series within three days. An impressive feat for such a long book, as all three books were
combined in order to form one book.
Once I was made to wait for hours on end without the news I waited for. I was terribly
impatient and I was eager for the news that I waited for. I myself am very impatient and as a
result I wish for efficient results among those around me. I combat this weakness I have taken
the time to relax while impatient in order to improve my situation.
I asked my father and my brother for strengths and weaknesses that I have. My father
said that I am great at doing research. As well as I understand topics well. My brother claimed
that I am smart, but annoying to most people.
In the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Test, I learned that I am a ESTJ. so, I feel that it will
fit well into my career plan. Many attorneys and paralegals are ESTJs
I am a hard-working, young, middle class american of which am very eager to provide
service to the country. I was raised in a family to a soldier, from which I learned values of being
a patriotic american citizen. I feel the best way to prove such a thing would be to act as a
prosecutor against possible enemies of the state.I was Scout in my early years and I achieve the
arrow of light as well as the Discovery award in Venturing. I hope to use the knowledge that I
gain from criminal prosecution to progress into politics in order to better see to the aid of our
great nation.
Hypothetical Situations:
I. Describe a time you had to work with someone you did not like.
A time I had to work with someone I did not like was in my freshman year of high school. I was
put into a group of two fools who had no a clue as to what they were doing. They ended up not
achieving a thing on the project. So the day before the project was due I spoke with the teacher
and had myself put into a solo project to let them work together to finish the project within the
day. Which they did not.
II. Tell me about a time when you had to stick by a decision you had made, even though it
made you unpopular.
I hold very strong political and social views. I also enjoy ranting about said political views. I
lived within a very liberal state while doing said ranting. It is safe to say I was a very hated
person among most of the school which known who I was.
III. Give us an example of something particularly innovative that you have done that made a
difference in the workplace.
Considering that I have never worked before… I shall give you an example of a time I did
something innovative in a time of need. I went camping while a member of the Boy Scouts of
America. And on this particular camp out, I could not find my tents’ poles, therefore I had no
tent. So I began to dig in, I searched for fallen logs, sticks, leaves, and dirt. So once I had my
resources I used a old tarp and some paracord as well as my resources to construct a tent within
the foxhole. This proved to be an excellent tent as it prevailed better than the mass produced
tents in the storm that night.I would recommend it and would make one again.
IV. How would you handle an employe who is consistently late?
Well, first of all, I would ask what is wrong. Proceeding to inform said employee that we can not
afford to pay employees who fail their duties when we could have a more qualified person in
said position. After that they would have two more chances before I would fire them from the
workplace.
