Each person brings special skills, talents, abilities, and personality traits to a group. Here is what we bring to this group:
"I am encouraging. I am balanced—I can stay focused on a task, yet make sure we have fun doing it. I can be both a leader and a follower. I am a good listener. And I like to consider different ideas people have."
"I am hard-working, and I'm more than willing to do anything that I can to complete whatever objective we have for our trip. I have a little experience with building, and some knowledge of Spanish."
"I am a listener. I am a hard worker who likes to get passionate about what I'm doing. I am a perfectionist to the point of when fixing someone else's home I act as if it's my own home and work that much harder. I have a humorous personality, love to play music, and like playing soccer. I like to learn and serve others to help them."
"I enjoy meeting new people. I enjoy the bonding experience that occurs over any sort of mission trip. I am willing to share my past experiences, as well as to learn from others."
"I am extremely sociable. I love to meet new people, and I have a big heart. I treat everyone with the utmost respect."
"I am a very considerate and caring person. I am a great listener, and I work well in groups. I can lead others through tasks and situations. I am very generous and kind. I like to have fun, and I love to laugh. I love to meet new people and make new friends."
"I am a positive person. I always try to see the best in people and situations."
"I am a very open-minded person. I like to give people a chance to express feelings with others that make them step outside their comfort zone and challenge norms. I am a very good listener. I'm willing to support others for a just cause. I'm willing to give harsh advice even when it may hurt at times. I can have a lot of energy and can sometimes really get people excited about serious issues. I encourage others to pursue what they are really passionate about."
"I am able to work with many different kinds of people from different cultures or different languages. I can work through differences to accomplish the task at hand, but in most cases get along with group members well. I am a very hands-on kind of person. I have practical real world experience in building homes and using tools. I am a very hard worker, and I don't mind working long hours with little sleep. I am a well-rounded individual who can provide a lot of practical and useful knowledge while aiding in group bonding and making the experience a rewarding and successful one."
"I am a hard worker. I enjoy working in a group. I am very goal-oriented. I'm determined to make a difference. I am willing to try pretty much anything, and I can easily communicate with others."
"I am very approachable and sociable. I am willing to learn and try anything first. I know how to lead, as well as to listen to those leading."
"I have a basic knowledge of machinery, plumbing, construction, and some electrical work. I have experience with basic organic gardening, livestock, beekeeping, and farm machinery. I have a strong desire to learn. I am a problem-solving thinker who enjoys a new challenge. I prefer working with a group that has passion for whatever needs to be done. In groups whose passion has died out, I try to rejuvenate what is lost."
