Tell us a bit about yourself: I have played on CraftyMynes for a little less than a year now, and I still love to play on the server and make new friends. I think what makes this server so enjoyable for me is the family-friendly atmosphere. So much of the world is negative nowadays, so it's nice that we can have a place to play online that at least has a filter. The few things about the server that kind of dull my experience on there is that most of my friends left, sometimes the players can be a bit mean to each other, and I think I am on my 15th base now, because I keep getting raided. Other than those few things, this server is amazing!
Strengths: I am pretty mature now, and know how to handle trolls, and misbehaving players. I still work at Arby's, and got another job in customer service at a movie theater, so I definitely know customer service and social skills. I am a lot less quick to anger, and like to look at all sides of the situation before coming to a conclusion. I am understanding, apologetic, and forgiving. I am also a great listener. If anyone ever needs anything, Minecraft related or not, I will always be here to help them.
Weaknesses: I still have a tendency to talk back to people, but definitely not as much as before. Next year will be my senior year in high school, so I might be studying a lot more and looking for colleges. I ask too many questions sometimes and I guess that leads to annoying some people, but that is not my intention. I also over apologize which I do not mean to do.
Why are you applying: I am applying because I would love to give back to the community who has helped me so much. I don't want anything in return for helping others, it's just in my nature and in my blood. I look up to a lot of the staff on here, and I would love to help them out and hopefully inspire someone else.

If you could pick one thing about yourself to change what would it be, why would you change it and how would you change it?: To be quite honest, I would change my outlook on negative situations. Instead of seeing all the bad and "testing" my friends and stuff like that I would try to find the positive. Like hey, at least I have friends. I would change this because I am letting my past control my future if I don't. I want to be in charge of my own future, and I want to finally be able to see the good in everything. I would change this by thinking about what to say before I say it, or what to do before I do it. It won't be easy, but nothing worth having ever is.
Any Additional Information or notes: Thank you guys for always being there for me. And thank you for taking time to consider my application. I love y’all and this server so much! <3
