Introduction: Hello, my name is Courtney! I am currently twenty years young. I attend college three days a week and I work at a preschool five days out of the week. I love working at the preschool with all my little youngins! I am going to college to get my degree in Computer Programming, I have changed it who knows how many times but I think I will keep it this time. I have a boyfriend whom I currently live with and on the 24th we have been dating for four years, exciting right? I am still a co-mayor in the town of Gotham in beta with bbycakes2012. I am very talkative, which is surprising because I never used to be. I love playing Minecraft and ps4. Most of the time I play with friends from Meep on ps4 which is awesome.

Why you should be Helper? Back in October, the 13th to be exact I got the chance to be a helper on Meep. It was such a dramatic change from being a citizen to being a helper. During my time as a helper I was online too much. I know that may sound like I’m referring it to as bad thing, but in my case it was. I let Meep run my life, and I tried too hard. Being a helper isn’t an easy task if you feel like you aren't doing your part. I didn't have a high modreq count as some of the other helpers who were with me on the staff team and I didn't have that many bans. In my opinion bans should be a last resort and I will still continue to think this way. Well, with all that plus school I got so overwhelmed and felt like I was being a burden to the staff team so I resigned on January 13th, 2015. I also quit my job that same day so overall I made rash decisions when I was upset and I have regretted it so very much ever since. I took a week off from my job which I quit and came back the next week with a clear mind, to bad I couldn't with being a staff on here. Being a helper was my solitude it was my happy place. Getting on and being able to do a modreq and make someone happy or help them figure out the problem is what got me by. Even though I didn't have many bans that were reported doesn't mean that I don’t know how to do them. Cooley once told me that as long as my modreqs/bans are quality over quantity then I am doing just fine. I know all the commands, all the bans, all the times, how to do everything a helper is supposed to. I want to be helper to do simply what I came here for the first time, which was to be here for each and every one of the members of this community. I know that being in college was a huge down part to me being a helper the first time, but with almost a month gone by since I resigned I have done so much in school and continued to work all while playing Meep just fine. I know that if given the chance back at it I know that I wouldn't let myself get so overwhelmed and I know that I have time to get all the in-real-life stuff done that I need to. Being a part of the staff team is something that I should have really held onto especially with a Moderator Application sitting in interview right before I resigned I know that I am more than capable to be better than before. I have contemplated this application so much ever since I resigned. One day I said I wasn't going to apply the next I wanted to apply. I found comfort in a couple of friends from Meep. Recently those same friends and some more have encouraged me to apply again and I feel this will benefit me greatly even if I don't get accepted. I am active on the three aspects for this server to become a helper, some might say I am more active now then I was before especially on TeamSpeak. Even though I am not a staff member currently I still act like one, no I’m not saying I’m a “mini-mod”, some of ya’ll call it but in game I still get asked questions and I will message players whom ask questions in shout. Majority of modreqs consist of questions that do not require staff perms so I know that I could still help but at the end of the day it isn't enough. This community means a lot to me even the few who choose to dislike me I still love this community and helping it grow is just the beginning.

What are your weaknesses? Activity- I know that being a staff member we need to make sure we are online and active for the community but I also want it to be known that I will try my hardest to limit myself in the beginning so that I don’t push myself incredibly too hard to the point of being stressed. I am counting this as a weakness because I know that it will be so hard to do.
Emotions- I am a very emotional person. Kari once told me that I have an extreme emotional attachment to the players, which I do but I don’t think of it as a bad thing. I get along with almost everybody here and well “Those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.” That being said I never not once let my friendships come in between my staff work but being emotional has led me to here, writing another helper application. I get overwhelmed to fast, I over think scenarios in my head over and over again. I am working on this and I know that I can get past it.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: I know that I can be a better helper than I was before and I am ecstatic to be encouraged to do this again from many people of the community and staff team. I promise to be that helper the community desires and needs right now. I understand this application is quite short but I don't think apps should be a book. I feel like I've hit all the points and all my needed info to you for this second application. If you have any questions just ask I am always here thanks for reading.
