Self Assessment

My name IS . I am currently 17 years old. I enjoy doing many things on my spare time some of my hobbies include playing football, Colleting swords, World War 2 medals and soon to collect antique rifles. Over the summer I work as a bricklayer where I learn lots of skills and techniques to become a full time bricklayer. I hope to have my own construction business in the next 10-15 years where I will be the man giving orders not taking orders. Also I hope that my business will become the biggest in Ontario.

I have many different values and beliefs. I value my family and relationship with them. They mean so much to me in this world. No other family can't replace my family because of all the great times we all had together. I also values my grandparents because they have always been there for me and they help me through my life. These people are always there when you need them and there always there to listen to you and give you advice when you need it. I believe in my catholic faith and attend mass regularly.

I have an easy going personality. But sometimes I get serious about things. When it involves money I am serious about it but when it doesn't I am a laid back guy that doesn't care about much and I don't like to stress to much. I also like to work hard so I can get somewhere in life. I dislike people that talk about you behind your back. I like a lot of things like football hanging out with people, motorcycles and many other stuff.

When I took the multiple intelligence test I found out that I am a body and self smart. Before I took the test I didn't think I was anything smart but I found out that I am smart in something. What surprised me the most was when I found out that I was body smart because I am not in the best smart and I am not really that active.
