 * The Name Acronym Adjective Exercise**

The adjective that corresponds with the first letter of my name is cool. I always try to not let things overwhelm or frustrate me, and instead try to face challenges calm and collected. There is no point in freaking out over a problem, as that does nothing to solve the problem. Staying cool allows me to rationally assess a situation and determine the most effective solution to a problem.

The adjective helpful is a good choice for the second letter of my name, as I always try to help people whenever I can. In fact, there are many times when I have been too quick to offer help, which resulted in me doing much more than I thought I would have to do. I find it very difficult to say no when I am asked for help, even when rendering that help in very inconvenient for me. I am afraid that many people have taken advantage of my helpfulness, but I don’t see that changing any time soon, as I will probably still feel obligated to help.

Responsible is the adjective for the third letter of my name. I have a clear sense of duty and I know what needs to be done, so I do it when it needs to be done. I know that putting something off never ends well, which is why I try to keep on top of my work. Also, if I say I am going to do something, I do it.

The adjective for the fourth letter of my name is independent. I have found that I work best by myself. It is not that I cannot work with others. I actually work quite well with others, but I prefer to work by myself. I would rather by solely responsible for the results of something than to have to share responsibility with others.

Sincere is a fitting adjective for the fifth letter of my name, as I always try to be truthful and genuine with people. If somebody asks me for my opinion, I try to tell them the truth; not just what they want to hear. I would rather be truthful with a person than to lie to a person and then see that person hurt because of that lie, in spite of the consequences that I would face by telling the truth.

My friends consider me to be trustworthy, so that is the adjective for the sixth letter of my name. They know that they can trust me to not expose their secrets or lie to them, and that I will do what I tell them I will do. I am often given important tasks because people know and trust that I will complete them on time and with a high level of quality.

More than anything else, I am considered to be quite intelligent, so this is the adjective is for the seventh letter of my name. I get good grades, I make good decisions, and I am not stupid. What I mean by this is that I not only do well academically, but that I also have common sense. I am good at seeing the consequences of any potential actions, so it is easier for me to choose the action that will yield the desired result than it is for someone who is not as intelligent.

The adjective for the eighth letter of my name is agreeable, as I am considered to be fairly easy to get along with. This does not mean that everybody likes me—that is quite far from the truth—but there is nothing about me that people take offense towards instantly upon meeting me. I try to be open-minded and polite to everybody. I do not like conflict, so I try to be the voice of reason when there is a dispute, and because I am agreeable, I am often successful.

The adjective that corresponds to the ninth and final letter of my name is neat. I would not say that I am a “neat-freak”, but I do like to keep my living area well organized and clean. On homework assignments, I like to have everything written or typed neatly on a clean, unwrinkled sheet of paper. I also like to keep the contents of my computer organized, as it makes it much easier to find needed file and makes for a more pleasant technological experience.
