When did you join Meepcraft? June 27th 2014

Introduction: Good morning or evening to you my friend behind the screen! I’ve been an active member of this outstanding community since June 27th, 2014! My name is Alex and I hail from Owasso, Oklahoma. I recently moved to Saint Louis, Missouri, and every second of it has been great. I do a lot of activities in the “real world” and in meep. I have been a standing presence in meepcraft mostly since last december, as I was really shy coming into the server, but people like 2leah2 and Its_madison helped bring me out of that,

I’ve been in band for almost 4 years now. I currently play 6 instruments. I play oboe, flute, piccolo, piano, and alto saxophone. I started on flute and maintained all-state 1st chair for 2 straight years — 7th-8th grade. Oboe is a unique instrument, it's sound is like no other which reminds me of myself. It is beautiful, unique, and individualistic in all aspects. I’ve played oboe for 2 years now and I’m still learning and improving. Now, I’m focusing on solo/ensemble music in which I am doing four folk songs on an unaccompanied oboe. I can do many things at ease, which allows me to tackle the many different aspects of being a helper, such as helping the community, being a leader in the team, and being an active participant in staff meetings.

French club is pretty fun! I’m in French 1 at my high school. French comes to me naturally; my grandmother speaks French and I really enjoy studying with her. I’ve learned to cook French cuisines such as buche de noel. I put a lot of effort into my work, and I assure you I will do the same as a helper. All my effort has paid off, and I’m doing much better in French; speaking a new language is no easy task. I’ve dedicated a lot of time to making sure my French skills are top-notch for my level. I’m applying this work ethic to MeepCraft, and you may have seen me before as a helper, handling modreqs with cleanliness and efficiency, as I do my school work.

I am involved in National Honors Society (NHS), which revolved around being an outstanding member of the community through leadership, character, and most importantly service. With the lessons I have learned from NHS I am a better person on meepcraft. The pillars I mentioned (scholarship, service, leadership, and character) are all things I apply to my life.

Why should you be Helper? I believe that I deserve helper because I am

Dedicated- I’ve been playing on Meep for years, which has resulted in me changing a lot about myself for the good of the server. I’ve been an active member of my community in the towns i’ve lived in, including Owasso and Saint Louis, assisting my community and doing all I can to make it a better place, through service, speaking, and socialising. I am currently helping the server through answering general questions and welcoming players into meep with open arms. I am friendly and amiable towards new players and am always open to questions as needed. I make Meep a better server to be on through my amiable personality as well as my ability to make people laugh through my jokes. I’m always an open ear for players concerns.

Being a Helper is one of my goals, not only is it fun, but it’s like assisting a new city. Through your modreqs, words, and being a role model for the community. I have been a role-model for many people because even when I made so many mistakes, I was still able to come out of all of them a stronger individual. While I was a staff member, I was able to witness what it was truly like to be a staff member, and many of the qualities the staff members have, I now see in myself. I have become a very dedicated person through my work, effort, and the amount of liability I am able to take on. During my time as staff I mainly tried to get involved in trello projects, the main ones in which I was involved with were kitpvp kits, and new event ideas.

Work-Ethic- On average I completed 5-7 modreqs a day with efficiency, care, and kindness. I believe I did my job as helper very well, assisting in trello as well as helping newer helpers with commands and such. I assisted in trello projects as well, mostly concerning new events and kitpvp kits. I dedicated nearly 2-3 hours a day to the server, and all that time I was always doing something, whether it be Modreqs, or projects.

Leadership- I am a born leader. I take charge of situations in which I am allowed and lay out plans to fix issues and problems that are seen to be fixed. In real life, I am the leader in many organizations at my school. This semester I was elected Volleyball Captain for the freshman jv team. I was very honored to be chosen out of the many select individuals in my group of 15 people. I was also proclaimed the Outstanding Musician of the Elden Band at the University of Arkansas summer music camp in 2016. I received this award for my outgoing personality, and the ability to lead a section (of 3 oboes).

All these in common, I believe I can be a leader for Meepcraft. In game I take charge of important projects, such as trello and modreqs. I am an individual, not just a line of code. I come out of all my dark times as a stronger individual, especially after my parents divorce. I am a standing presence in my mother’s life, through all of her struggles with MS I have been there for her, almost like Rory to Lorelai on “Gilmore Girls”. My mother and I have a strong bond, and she’s taught me to be the person I am today, through being modest and conserved, and not as sensitive to prejudice as I used to be.

What are your weaknesses? Emotions- This has played an enormous toll on the amount I can take. I’m pretty sensitive, and while I have improved on this, it can still effect my staff work. I can get really sad over something very easily, such as someone else’s misfortune that I’m very close to. This, actually, is why I got demoted. I told many staff members about someone else’s private information in attempt to try and comfort her, without asking her. That information, however, was meant to be kept private. I was demoted for the fear of leaking, as well as immaturity and being too uptight. I don't like seeing people get hurt, especially myself. I don’t guard my heart very well, and I trust individuals in my life not to break it. When I become good friends with people, such as 2leah2 or Junelawnchair, I break off a piece of my heart and give it to them. I trust these people to guide me through my hardest times, and be there for me when I need them, but I don’t usually consider the hurt factor. I’m very optimistic, and that really clouds my judgement skills sometimes. This is also, why I usually cannot stick to the dates I set. It makes me very impulsive and on the dot, as I am very optimistic for my future. My optimism really makes me trust people easily, and makes it easier to hurt me on the inside, and out.

Examples of this, apply mostly to my real life situations. I trusted a group of my friends in real life a lot, and I really should have never been involved with them in the first place. These people got me hooked on going to parties, and also made me get involved with alcohol. I understand, now, what the repercussions of my actions were. There was a night in which I went to a huge party, and apparently came home and rambled off slut-shaming things about and sexual-actions this person did not even do. What I said to 5 people I might add, made this person very terrified of me, and we broke up. I did this to my girlfriend of almost a year. After this event I really thought about what I was doing with my life, and after that event, I broke off my friendship with these people, because I never took the time to analyze what would happen when I drank. I’ve had many opportunities to do so in the last following weeks but I have said no, every time. This event was truly scaring for me, because I could never imagine myself doing this, to anybody, much less my girlfriend. I lost my best friend in this, and I bet she’ll never want to be friends again, as much as I want her to. I'm learning to control my emotions much better, now however, as I am now clean of alcohol for almost a month and a half. I have not touched, drank, or sipped alcohol, for this period of time, due to my acknowledgment of the repercussions of it. My mother has taught me to now be more honest, and truthful, to own up to my actions, which shows a lot of character.

Drama- I’ve found it very hard in the past to not get involved with the current “scoop”, on meepcraft. A lot of the decisions to deny me or accept me for staff have been made off of this mainly, and rightfully so. Drama in the past has caused me to talk about others behind their backs, as well as spread rumors that I, had no idea was true. This, as a whole, causes the staff team, and players to majorly distrust me in my actions on MeepCraft. However, In the past weeks in which I have been denied, when I had plenty of things I could have gotten involved in, I didn’t. Especially the whole (insert server here) vs/ Meep drama. I am friends with many on both sides, yet in my logic, I have been able to stay out of this. While I have talked and given my opinion in some of these matters, I have not been involved, or caused any issues. While the server was down, on forums there is plenty to be involved in. I have proven in these past weeks that I am more trustable, and not as dramatic as proven before. However, it is important to include this matter, due to the fact that it certainly has been a problem before

Impatient- I find it very hard to stick to plans I make. I like to be spontaneous and act in the moment, which I have done in the past with many applications. While many people tell me to wait weeks, and even months, I find my judgement to be good on my own skills. I’m not very good at waiting a long time, because I get really jumpy and excited about an event. In this case this also causes me a lot of anxiety, and I like to have an application up when I find the courage to do so. I get very afraid of being denied, because this is something I’ve wanted for a long time, and to the best of my abilities tried to prove my worth. I feel like I could improve on this by further controlling my nerves and settling down, while it has affected my decisions on applications dates, I don’t believe it will effect my decisions as a staff member, in its entirety. I do believe sometimes it will make me a little irritated, but I know that I can control my anger better now, then I used to be able to.
