Benjamin Ash Tenn...Personal Statement
Socializing and teamwork would definitely be some of my best character traits. I am a people person, I'm not shy in the slightest but I always know when enough is enough and when it's time to work. I am a very spirited person who loves being part of a team and I pride myself on always knowing my place, meaning its never about me its always about the team.
Another one of my best traits is leadership. I have served in numerous leadership positions including as the first ever non-senior captain on my varsity high school tennis team, the president of the local chapter of a national service organization (Young Men's Service League), a volunteer for Habitat For Humanity, and I am a leader among my peers in and out of school. I love taking leadership roles and teaching others, but also learning at the same time.
I am a very teachable person as there's always more out there to be learned.
The last thing I will leave you with is I'm a very likeable person. I would fit very well on any team and I promise you will always be able to count on me.
