Although I see myself as a kind, polite, and generous person my toughest battle is being impatient. My struggle with being impatient definitely comes from my father as that is all I was ever shown. I get along with everyone and I am well liked with many friends ,but when I am wronged I always feel the need to retaliate. My impatience is the biggest problem I see wrong with myself which makes me feel disgusted with myself because I crush others hearts when I retaliate. There is a constant pain when I hurt others and shows my lack of self control. One time my little brother that is fourteen now and I were cleaning the house.

I then went to him and apologized and told his how sorry I was. My actions and anger towards him that day really showed me I had a problem with patience and could do better.
