TTTC

.  
The soldier talks about his time serving in the Vietnam War, and how it affected him. It really makes me view soldiers differently once they come out of war. I now  have a better understanding of why they all act different coming home, than they did before they left. I can’t imagine the feeling that he had to go though.

 Sometimes the best thing about you can also be some of your greatest faults.
I forgive easily. That can be a good thing because i hate fighting and arguing, but on the other hand; it can allow people to run all over you. With that being said; it can be taken that one of my other faults is that I'm passive, or a pushover. Whether its allowing your best friend to borrow your favorite shoes after she rags on you and never lets you borrow her stuff, or its what you're going to do over the weekend.. they just have to have their way so you just sit there quietly and agree, or you eventually cave in and do what they want.

 With the aspect of being passive comes something that i really like about myself... I'm a good listener.My friends and I  call it, "Cassie (insert name here) time" , for instance "Cassie Becca time" it's a thing we do once a week by taking a drive and just vent about everything that's been going on, then I'll sit there and listen then give advice once they are done venting.

I'm always willing to try something at least once. That's always a good thing because you gain experience and learn what you like, and dislike. When I first tried golf, i figured I'd hate it. But I gave it a shot and now I love it.  On the other hand of that i give up easily. In golf if you hit one bad shot you can usually redeem yourself, but hit two or three bad shots and you are more than likely going to hit the stroke limit per hole (9.) On my fault, i tend to give up after my second bad shot.

With being a teenager comes another fault we all struggle with... procrastination. I'm guilty as charged with it, I'll put things off as long as i can, whether its school work, chores, or even getting somewhere on time. I tend to do it more with homework, I'll find something i just have to go do, and put it off until the last minute.

In my eyes friends come before anything and anyone. That could go on either side of the fence for me. On the good side, it means I'm a loyal friend, and always there for them. On the fault side of that, I focus more on friends before my main priorities; such as school work, church, family, or chores. In God's eyes He should be your number one focus in life, I know that should be my main focus, but for some reason, i still focus on the minor things.

Lastly, on a good note I love unconditionally. To me that is my best quality. I love everyone in my life no matter what. They can love me, hurt me, or leave me, but either way I'll still always care about them, and do anything possible to always be there for them.

Your worst faults can somehow always tie up into helping your greatest qualities become what they are today.
