What do you consider to be your best personal attributes and/or characteristics? Why? Give specific examples of what they are, and why you and/or others like those qualities
I believe my best characteristics would be my strong will and my ambition.The reason why I would say that would be because, they both have taken me a long way in my life. If I have set my mind to do something, I make sure that I get it accomplished, no matter how long it takes or how hard the road. I am only human, so sometimes I get frustrated or side tracked but my will to conquer takes me back to the right path. I would have given up on many things that made a big difference in my life if I didn't have the ambition to do better for myself.
A good test of my will and ambition is the sport of boxing. I have to run at least four miles a day. I go to the gym five times a week. have to watch what I eat, I travel alot to different cities to competitions. Everything about boxing is thinking and endurance. You have to work twice as hard. While you are exercising to be at the peak of your performance so is your opponent. Boxing is a very serious and dangerous sport. If you don't have the ambition to learn all you can and the will to win at all cost you can get seriously hurt or even killed. So its safe to say that my best attributes are sort of a life saver.
My ambitions help me go for my dreams of being a champion, it also pushes me to raise my children to be great adults, and it also helped me get on the ball and further my education, so I can get a career that is more accustom to me. The greatest gift I can receive from these characteristics is setting an example for my kids. A strong will to conquer can take you alot of places in life.

life changing experience
Writing - Answer This GED Essay Prompt on Your Blog by Tuesday
What one experience has significantly changed your life for the better? Why? Use specific examples from your personal knowledge, experiences and observations to support your answer. Try to respond in about 250 words and/or five paragraphs, including an introduction, body and conclusion. Use the chart from my October 30 post to this blog for structural guidelines if you find them helpful. Remember, your writing will be scored holistically, not exclusively focused on punctuation or grammar.
The biggest experience that impacted my life the most would be getting shot by a person that I never would have doubted to be my friend. I't seems crazy,but as you read further I will explain how it changed my life for the better, even though I experienced such a tramatic ordeal with this person. I've known him for almost ten years went to school with him,always chilled with him,he is my children's cousin. that really changed the way I consider people my friend. If he needed anything if I had it I would help him out,I would pick up his kids so they could play with mine. When ever I would go to the club, games,had a fight or was just chilling most of the time we would be around. I never surrounded myself with allot of friends but I treated him like family,he was one of the few people I trusted with my life and he tried to take it. That showed me jealousy and envy at it's truest form. I turned my life around, got a good job, winning championships,becoming well known in the boxing world with my god given talent and the hole time he was right there. But I sat back and saw that he had no ambition he was content on receiving handouts and not working. So I tried tuff love and stopped picking him up and loaning him money so he would get out and get his own. I guess that was his boiling point.
I got in an altercation with his uncle and when I turned around to leave he shot me in the back of the arm. I was shocked by the pain and sound, so I turned around to see who it was,and to my surprise it was that snake and he kept shooting. He shot me four times I almost didn't make it,but thank god I did. I went to New York to my family to heal properly. I sat back and thought if this would not have happened to me,I would be working to hard to come see my family. My cousin and I haven't seen each other in years,so we were talking about our lives and trying to catch up with the time missed,and that's when she brought to my attention what my career goal would be. If I wouldn't have gotten shot I still would be working every day all day with no GED,and no time to get one,and would have kept the dead end job that I now have; or should I say" have for now". Like I told my cousin I don't look at the bad side because the only bad side is I got shot,but so much good has come following after. I consider myself blessed I was able to wake up and see both lights;the end of my old road and the beginning of a new one. So thank god for snakes.
