"The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them" Ernest Hemingway
I enjoy this Hemingway quote because it is very similar to the outlook I have on life. I always see the good in people and like to believe that when people are really put to the test they will do the right thing. I give people my trust until they lose it. To some this may seem naive, but if you trust others then most of the time they will trust you back.
In this bio I'm going to tell you about me as a person versus an employee.
Personality:
I have always been the type of person who wants to please everyone. I hate to think that there is anyone out there who hates me. This attitude towards life comes with its positives and negatives. A great positive is that I help people out and am there for them when they need me. I am also good at relating to others. A negative of trusting people and wanting to help is you can get taken advantage of but I know that and I keep an eye out for it.
Hobbies:
I really enjoy most sports but my favorite sport would have to be hockey. I am an avid Islanders fan and try to attend as many games as I can. Besides hockey I root for the Knicks and the Jets. When I'm not watching sports I will pretty much watch anything. I am a huge fan of TV and love to watch as much as possible. Some of my favorite shows include Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad, and White Collar.
I don't just lay around all day watching TV though, I also love to get out and play sports. I played soccer and high school for club teams all throughout high school. I played basketball for my church team as a part of the youth organization. I played soccer for a club team for nearly a decade, and by the end our team had gotten pretty bad but I stuck with it because I had grown so close with my teammates and just enjoyed getting out on the field and having an opportunity to play.
I hope all of this allowed you to get a better sense of what type of person I truly am.
