Introduction: Hey. My name's Johan, and I'm a 15 year old male from South Africa.

Jumping right into it. My favorite sport is, and will always be, chess. It's an amazing game of strategy and logic, and I can sit for hours in front of a chess board and not get bored. On the flip side, I dislike all outdoor sport (never really liked running around randomly). My favorite hobby would be playing the piano, which I have now been doing for 9 years, and I'm eagerly learning the violin currently.

I don't really like talking because, in my opinion, it's much more productive to listen. You can learn much more if you listen to others, than just yapping about things that aren't really important. I quote the Dalai Lama: "When you talk, you only repeat what you know, but if you listen, you may learn something new."

My personal motto is "Work smart, not hard", as I can be quite lazy, yet I am still a star student at school.

Why should you be Helper? I have, through my school career, been involved in various leadership roles, such as Permanent class leader (3 years running), part of the primary school student council, and leader of my chess team.

For me, it's always been satisfying to help people out, and leave the person happy with what was done. The challenge of leadership is an interesting one, and it always fascinates me, because it requires so many different things to be successful: Hard work, Common sense, Intellect, and sometimes just blind luck. You never know what's going to come next, and I love that.

I've been playing meepcraft for quite a long time now, and I've always been interested in being a staff member. Helping people with their problems, making sure everything's running relatively smoothly, and making sure meepcraft doesn't stop being the server we all know and love. Unfortunately, sometimes there isn't any staff on while I'm playing, and I feel that I could successfully fill that spot.

What are your weaknesses? 1. Tact. Or rather, my lack of it. I tend to be very blunt about everything, and I understand that not everyone likes that.
Unfortunately, I don't think I will ever be able to improve this.

2. Patience. Obvious weakness. I can easily get irritated if something takes longer than I though. Currently working on this,
with some success, but I still have far too go.

3. Perfectionist. This is a smaller problem, as it can be seen as a good and a bad thing. Again, I can't imagine how I can work
on improving this.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: I fully admit that I did depend strongly upon my previous application for guidance while writing this application. I do not think that it affects my content, as most (If not all) of my previous app is still quite relevant to my personality and stance about matters.

I'm not very active on TS, and I don't enjoy the thought of using skype, but I will use it if necessary.

Thank you for taking the time to read through my application, I really appreciate it.

You remind me of myself.

Piano and chess for life

On a serious note, you're pretty active and experienced, and I wouldn't mind you as a helper.
