My name is Samantha Sammons I am 16 years old. I live in Tacony and I am a junior currently attending MaST Community Charter School. Everyday after school I work at the local Free library in Tacony helping children with their homework and getting them involved with arts and craft activities. I believe I am very independent and very determined to achieve all of my goals.

I have one real sister, Amanda, 18, two step sisters, Crystal, 23, Amybeth, 17, and a step brother Eddie, 16. I live with my mom, stepfather, and my step sister Amybeth. I have a Yellow Lab named Buddy and a cat named Angel that I found in a tree about 9 years ago. My real father lives in Croydon and I visit him and my step mother every other weekend and during holidays.

As I stated before, I am currently attending MaST Community Charter School and I am in my junior year. I have been attending MaST ever since it first opened and I was in third grade. My favorite classes were always science and math because they were really easy. Now that I am in high school I am more interested in Health and English. I do participate in after school activities at MaST, I am a member of the S.A.D.D. program, Students Against Destructive Decisions and I used to be a cheerleader and a part of the Student Council.

My goals in school are to focus on my work to keep my grades up so that I can be successful and get ready for college. I don’t quite know why but I was always interested in becoming a nurse and so I know that is what I wan to do. I am not really sure what college I want to go to yet but I am looking and the schools wonderful counselor, Mrs. Wolf has always been there to help me and answer any of my questions.

I was mostly inspired to do good in general by the members of the community at MaST. They are all such great people who try their very hardest to encourage and work with all the students. My parents have inspired me by supporting me in everything I do, although they have not gone to college themselves, they have taught me that school is very important and they have helped me with my studies.

Things that I love to do with my free time are….

• Read• Learn new things• Draw • Arts and Crafts• Making scrapbooks• Taking pictures• Shopping• Go to the gym

• Spend time with my family• Spend time with my boyfriend• Go Camping• Watch Horror Movies• Travel to new places• Play with my dog• Paint my toe nails• Do my hair• Clean ( I like to be organized)• Play computer games• Listen to music

Your Social Boldness: Introverted VS Extraverted

You are quite introverted. Socially, you prefer a more relaxed, low-key environment, rather than the hustle and bustle of a wild night in the city. You tend not to talk a lot, but when you do people listen, because when you say something it has meaning. You are not seeking the limelight, usually you prefer to let the attention-mongers do their thing while you observe. In an unfamiliar setting, you tend to be cautious and shy while you evaluate the circumstances. You prefer to avoid conflict, so you do not put yourself into a threatening situation. Your shyness may be perceived as unfriendly, but that could not be further from the truth. People need to be patient with you and take the time to get to know the complex, private you.

Your Agreeableness: Candid VS Considerate You are slightly considerate. Social harmony is important to

you, as is evidenced by your cooperative, generous, and helpful nature. If someone asks you what you want to do, you may reply, "whatever you want". That is not because you are indecisive, rather you genuinely want the other person to be happy, and so whatever they want to do is fine with you. In general, you are straightforward and sincere with others, which makes you very likeable. People always know where you stand. You regard others positively - you trust people and feel they are honest, so you have no problem responding in kind. No one will accuse you of being arrogant. Your self-esteem is just fine, but you do not think you are better than anyone else. Your desire to help others is seen in your altruistic nature. You enjoy helping others and you do not expect anything in return.

Your Self-Control: Impulsive VS Cautious You are slightly impulsive. Sometimes you exhibit great

self-control, other times you like to have fun and be impulsive. You are able to balance the two, so that you are neither perceived as stuffy or out of control. You see value in rules, yet you know when rules can be altered and when you must adhere to them. Employers value your strong work ethic, and your friends and coworkers value your playful side. Your flexible personality makes you very popular at work, because you know when to work and when to play without jeopardizing jobs or friendships. Your success in life is due to your perseverance in pursuing goals you have established for yourself. In general, you like to think before you act, but when a situation arises where that is not feasible, you are able to make smart decisions quickly.

Your Anxiety Level: Excitable VS Relaxed You are moderately excitable. In trying situations, you feel

somewhat stressed and frustrated. At times you are able to overcome these feelings, but other times you feel overwhelmed. This could run the gamut of just being in a bad mood to experiencing anxiety, anger, or depression. In general, you prefer a stress-free 0existence, so that the possibility of negative emotions would not be a factor. You tend to be somewhat self-conscious in social situations, and are worried that people may judge or criticize you. You may react emotionally to people or circumstances that you find threatening, because you want to protect yourself. Every so often you cave into urges or cravings. Sometimes you feel a little guilty about it, other times you are just fine with your fun streak.

Your Openness to Change: Practical VS Imaginative

You are quite practical. You want just the facts - keep it plain and simple. You are practical, pragmatic and well grounded. You have no time for carelessness and impracticality. You prefer to keep your emotions to yourself, rather than exposing your feelings to the world. Life moves along much better for you when you can maintain a schedule and have routine in your life. Unexpected surprises and chaos are a major inconvenience to you. You tend to be conservative and are somewhat resistant to change. Others respect your ability to act properly in your everyday life.

 

The way you Think/Reason: Concrete VS Abstract

You are very concrete in your thinking. You tend to prefer the plain, straightforward, and obvious to the complex, ambiguous, and subtle. You might even regard the arts and sciences with suspicion, regarding these endeavors as abstruse or of no practical use. You believe that intellect should not be equated with intelligence, as intellect is an intellectual style, not an intellectual ability.
