This trait wasn't expected to be so high on the trait list, but it makes sense because it links so well with kindness. My friends have always told me how wise I am for my age, especially when it comes to other people's feelings. I've always had good people to look up to in my life, like both my parents, coaches or mentors I've had in my life. Perspective is something that isn't used every day and gets put on the shelf, but when the time comes, I'm able to help others make wise decisions and change the way they look at a situation. My mother has always been good at having perspective; she has always been able to change the way I look at a situation. For example, when I was in middle school, there was another student I didn't care about and my mother always told me to imagine if we were friends and not enemies. I didn't go out of my way to develop this trait because it comes naturally to me due to how I was raised as a child. In the future I can imagine this will be a very useful skill when it comes to parenting as this is exactly what parenting is. Being able to provide wisdom to my children will help them become successful members of society or my future career in terms of seeing a problem on multiple levels.
