Are you a Saver or a Spender?

I am a saver. I believe something can be worth waiting for. I like to save up my money for something better rather than spending my money right away. I also know what is worth buying and what isn't. 
In the article we read, I agree with what they say. I believe that if you can discipline yourself that you will succeed in life. you have to have control over yourself before your going to get any where. 
My opinion in my generation is things are getting easier and easier for us. With tons of technology we don't have to remember to do anything, our phone can do that for us. We can easily cheat on test any more, with our phones. 95% of the time our teachers have us type our work. We are going to get out on our own and not know what to do with out our parents helping us through everything. I feel some of us just need to be more independent because the future depends on us and we cant rely off one another in the future we have to stand up for ourselves. http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2011/10/30/the-new-science-behind-your-spending-addiction.print.html

What make you, you? What tribe do you belong to?

I belong to the tribe of: 
-Speakers
-Listners
-Basketball Players
-Tennis Players
-Track Runners
-Wildcats
-Farm Lovers
-Oreos for Breakfast
-Singers
-Believers
-Church
-Lost Hope
-Death
-Fear
-Strength
I belong to these tribes all for a reason. They make me who I am. The tribe of sports makes me willing to try new things and to always be busy. The Wildcat tribe means I will always be a wildcat, Canton South is my home. My tribe of farm lovers make me different from where I live. Growing up in the city but on the weekends you go four-wheeler riding make you an outcast from your home town. My tribe of church always gives me someone to look up to, God. My tribe of lost hope, death, and fear, are my weaknesses. Fear though keeps me going, knowing I have fear I also belong to the tribe of strength because I push  my self to still be strong. The tribe of believers means I believe in miracles and I believe in anything is possible meaning I will always have the outcome I want. Being in the tribe of speakers I am not afraid to speak my mind and go out of my way to make my opinion known. But with that comes the tribe of listeners. This being that I speak my mind and I speak it well but when it's your turn to speak your mind I let you do your job and I listen with my mind open. 
Being in these tribes is me. I am Brooke & I am apart of many tribes.

This I Believe -- I Believe In Mistakes

What are you?

I'm An Extrovert. I'm energized by being around other people. I love people. I'm very outgoing and talking in front of a crowd doesn't bother me. I love to be in charge. I think as I speak I don't think before I speak. I seem to think better if I think as I speak. I love being social. I'm apart of many groups and clubs at school because I like being around people.
 I believe that extroverts have it easier. They can just talk and go on and not have to prepare themselves. Introverts have to prepare and think long and hard.  The way extroverts act is accepted by society more than introverts behavior. They are easily accepted more.
If everyone was an extrovert I believe we'd have lots of arguments. Extroverts think as they speak so they speak their mind right away. This would lead to things being said that maybe weren't suppose to be said. But also I believe the world would be more open and free spirited.
If everyone in the world was an introvert we'd have no characteristics. We'd all be quiet and not communication with each other. You couldn't have friends because friendship involves communication.
In my friends I prefer extroverts. Mostly cause they are like me but they are fun. They are free spirited and easy to get along with, and they enjoy talking like me. They are more willing to go into something dangerous and take chances. Life live on the edge.
Extroverts are better leaders in my opinion. They can throw stuff out and be right at any given time. They can speak their mind easily and not feel bad about it. They can challenge others to become better as well.
Introverts are better writer because they can think easily. Extroverts kinda jam stuff together. Introverts give it a meaning.
Which are better neighbors? Well if you like peace and quiet, you're gonna want a introvert as a neighbor, but  if you want an outgoing neighbor who will hang out with you, you want an extrovert.
I think extroverts are better teachers because they have great minds to be creative to teach children.
Being and extrovert or an introvert does matter, it's who you are. Being who you are matters.
