We have a least one road trip every summer.

Strength - Communication

I can easily calm my family and friends down in stressful situations.

Simply by just talking to them.

I discovered this strength when my younger sisters started to stress really bad about school. Give advice on how to deal with it.

Once I already dealt with something first, I can easily help others with it later.

Good skill to have in the future.
