To go through one’s life one has to be able to wear many different “hats” of varying colors and sizes. One would have to be able to wear a courageous when they’re going through hard times and need to pull through. At other times one needs to wear a sensitive hat to deal with delicate matters. If you are good at wearing one hat but not so good at wearing others, you are less likely to be successful overall in life, so it is good to be able to wear well many different types of hats. The hat that I wear is the hat of an explorer. Sometimes, when time comes and one has to take charge I put on my warrior hat. I believe the hat of a judge also fits with the hat of a warrior. The hat that I wear least would have to be the hat of an artist.
I chose the hat of an explorer as my favorite one. Ever since I was a little kid I would always enjoy reading science books and watching shows on discovery and the history channel learning everything there is to learn about our planet, the solar system, and beyond. I enjoy reading about past civilizations and how great and different they were. I like learning about the new technology that people are inventing every day that I could one day perhaps improve. I want to research in parts of sciences that have never been explored before and find something new and radically different. When I face problems I look at the problem from many different angles and look beyond what is blatantly obvious to find the solution.
The next hat that I would best fit under would be the hat of a warrior. When I wear the hat of a warrior I am ready to make wise decisions and be persistent through what I do. If I am stuck on an assignment for school I finish it no matter what it takes. I don’t like to make up or hear excuses when something is hard to do. The next hat is some what a compliment of the warrior, it is the hat of a judge. When the going gets tough, the tough get smart. I like figuring the easiest and most efficient way of doing something so I don’t waste any time doing it. The hat that I am the least like is the hat of an artist. I don’t have very many creative idea’s that I could illustrate through different medians. When I do get a great idea I don’t always have the best method of showing it.
I feel confident with three of the four hats of my personality and I wouldn’t change them much. I would however like to change, the fourth hat, how much of an artist I am. I don’t know if it is too easy to affect how creative a person is except maybe by living different and exploring new things that I’m not familiar with. Optimally I would like to become the best at every of the four hats, but I would be happy living the way I am now.

That second paragraph brought me back to my younger days spending hours in the Discovery Channel store, wishing I could play with everything. I like the way you think Ivan. I also need to improve on my artistic “hat.”
