Best/Worst Traits

My best traits:
I am a very persist person, I will try over and over again without fail to get exactly what I want. I never give up because I learned at a young age that persistence will get you everywhere. I came from a single parent home, and this made life challenging- but, NOT impossible. I have always set high goals for myself and I strive my hardest to achieve every single one of them. I’m intelligent, witty and mature. I graduated from high school at the age of 16, and started college when I was 17. Now a few years later and a few years older I am a junior broadcast journalism major at Kent State University. I find one of my best traits being that I am a very surprising person. I enjoy studying, learning, attending college, partying, dancing, taking full advantage of all opportunities that come my way, reading, drinking etc. Overall, I would say I am a very well-rounded, funny, fun, playful and most importantly entertaining individual.

Worst traits:
I am a very forgiving person, and I don’t think that’s always a good thing. The day I turned 16 my absent father contacted me (thru phone) for the first time in over 14 years! I was ecstatic, and all the anger I had ever felt toward him was gone in an instant. We kept in touch for about six months, and during this time I told him I forgave him for leaving because everyone deserved a second chance, and then I went down to visit him. The visit went great, and I was so happy to finally have a father in my life. My years of heartache, frustration and pain were all over, and we were reunited. (Or so I thought) After I left we kept in touch every single day either by way of e-mail or phone. Over the summer I went down to visit him again, and I felt like I was beginning to piece my life together, but little did I know- I was going to be wiped off of his agenda forever. My father had a girlfriend, a young one at that, and apparently she had a problem with our developing father-daug hter relationship. (What’s ironic was she had her father in her life, so how could she be so selfish as to expect me not to have mine?) She told him her feelings, and he told me. He said he had broken up with her because of her not liking me and him trying to build a
relationship- but, after I left early in August, I never heard from him again. He changed his home and cell phone numbers. He changed his e-mail address. And for what? A sleazy 23-year-old gold-digger over a life-long relationship with his blood daughter. Disgusting.

Another one of my worst traits is that I’m a perfectionist. I think a lot of it stems from everything that happened with my father. I guess I feel like if I do something perfect, the foundation will be too strong to cave in and disappoint me or anyone else the way I was disappointed.
