I define myself as being a very strong, caring, concerned, emotional, and quiet person. My strength isn't just physical strength. Apart from being able to do pull-ups, I am strong willed. When I set my mind to something, it will get done one way or another. I don't give up easily on projects that I am interested in. If I am well and able to work on the project, I will work on it. My belief in the Christian doctrine is also strong. It would take a miracle to make me change my faith. I'm not the best Christian and some of the 'commands' I disagree with, but I will always believe that Jesus is the Savior who died for my sins.

I am a caring individual. If I see someone struggling, I do my best to help them out. I care for the people around me and for people in organizations across the globe. Donating money and food to organizations such as West Minister, Invisible Children, Kenya-Help-Us, and Save Darfur. I want to help them.

I am concerned for the world and concerned for me. With so much of the world in a terrible state, I worry about what the future will bring. Will there be a WWIII? Will global warming get worse? I am almost always worried about getting my homework done, on time, and to the best of my ability. I am concerned for my safety and the others in the car when I drive on a narrow street with oncoming traffic. The whoosh of their cars scares me a bit.

I cry or feel like crying in most books and movies. The unfair treatment of a character, a death related to a main character, or seeing how they live. It is sad and cruel to see some of the things the director put into the movie. I am more emotional towards books when I can relate or know someone who can relate to the characters. I usually show more sad emotion then I do happy emotion.

I don't talk that much. I'm not as bad as Melinda, but it's the same concept. I got made fun of for something that I said when I was younger and now I don't talk as much. It used to be that I didn't see how my opinion would make any difference.

Melinda doesn't talk because she feels like crap. She was sexually abused and lost her friends because she called the cops. Very few people could relate to that. She holds in her secret for most of the novel. She also seems shy, but opens up as the novel goes on.

People act the way that they do based on what has happened to them and their relationships with others.
