When I hear the critic of the Myers -Briggs test, ""When we put people in boxes where they can only be one or another, we miss the opportunity to see people as diverse as they are"  I absolutely agree.  I think that too many people have put too much value in tests like this.  When we put ourselves into categories, we lose the best part that makes us human...diversity.  We are undoubtedly the most diverse group of beings on this planet, and that is what makes humans so great.  Honesty, it does not matter whether you are an ESFJ or an INTP,  we are judged by our strength of character and the attitudes we live by.

Apart from this, i believe that ESFJ is a perfect fit for my personality. I am a very outgoing person and definitely focus my attention on the outer world of people and things.  I am also well organized.  I love making a schedule!  Finally, i also tend to make decisions based on my values.  It was a interesting experience taking this test, then to see who else fit which personality type.  I was actually shocked to see so many extroverts and so few introverts.  

Anyways, Even though we may put too much weight on these sort of personality tests, it was still fun to take the test and see how accurately i was judged.

Servant leadership model is something that I have almost grow up with.  This idea of putting the needs of others first and doing what is necessary to help and teach others has bee something that has been instilled in me since I started started school.  A Jesuit education has been in me since I started High School and this is where i truly understood the meaning of the servant leadership model.  In High School, i met many great priests who had dedicated their lives to serving and teaching kids the meaning of this model.
    In High School, christian service was mandatory.  At first christian service was difficult and, to be honest, a little overwhelming.  I first started my service at Eskaton retirement center.  Over the years i began to develop relationships with the people i worked with and the people i served.  Service became a part os my life and i began to treasure each moment i shared working to make the lives of the residents of Eskaton a little bit better.  I soon realized that many of the resident of Eskaton had not been visited by their families in quite some time.  I made it my duty to make sure that every time i volunteered i would make sure that every one there felt wanted and loved.

 I chose this picture because i think it adequately represents the feeling of love that we all desire.  This is the kid of love that i try to show to all i meet and to the people i serve.  This is why i love the servant model, because it is about love.  It is about loving your brother and sister and doing what you can to help that person with their struggles and celebrate with their triumphs.

Hi my name is Hunter Straine and i am definitely enjoying my time here at SCU.  I am from Sacramento, CA and went to Jesuit High School.  I am currently a political science major in the school of arts and sciences.  I love to read and watch baseball and nothing can separate me from my love of the San Francisco
Giants.  My favorite TV shows are The walking Dead and How I Met Your Mother. 

I think that i am fairly outgoing and very welcoming and love to be a person that people can come talk to about anything.  And my biggest fear is spiders for obvious reasons. They are so scary, though! 

I come from a small Serbian family mostly made up of me, my parents, and my godmother.  I am really looking forward to getting to know everyone during this quarter and learning a lot from this class.
