Introduction: Hello, my name is Courtney! How are you doing today? So, here it goes. I attend college three days a week and I work at a preschool as an assistant teacher two days a week. I am currently going to college to get my RAD Tech degree, which means I will take x-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and ultrasounds. My time spent elsewhere is usually on Minecraft and I have no shame in that at all. I have been playing Minecraft for maybe a year and some change now. I joined MeepCraft February 26th 2014. I am a Co-Mayor in two towns one in Alpha and bbycakes2012’s town in Beta(Gotham). She has been so helpful from day one, she’s the reason I play meep now! I date her older brother and have been for almost four years and we currently live next door to each other, so yes I see bby all the time. We gave each other that nickname a long time ago one day and it has stuck! I could talk and talk all day but ill move on to the next section.

Why you should be Helper/Mod? Oh goodness, the big WHY? Well, simply why not should be my answer. Why would I not want to be a helper? I am super confident in my abilities to learn and be helpful to others in any way possible. I have held onto this application for a long while until I felt like it was the right time to completely ask for the position. I am all about helping people, can’t ya tell by my college major? Becoming something so notable and honoring wouldn't be much more than the icing on the cake. I am currently active on TeamSpeak and forums, I get on more frequently when Emily gets on too because I can walk over there to her house and we can play together. No that doesn't mean I only get on when she is but I love the choice of having someone to play Minecraft with. I know pretty much all the towny commands and some helper commands just by simply watching her and knowing how to handle different situations. I believe in myself 100% when it comes to making decisions. I honestly think that I would be able to handle any situation thrown at me and could make the right choices for everything that happens. Also superbros1211 said “Apply for staff then we can have two bbycakes on the staff team. Like a mini cake and a big cake and you can be bbycakes2” So I am totally taking the advice! Although I am not so sure about changing my name… hmm. I understand the rules, I know policy, I am very professional (when I need to be) meaning usually I just like to have a lot of FUN but I know when it is time to be responsible.

Weaknesses: Yeah, so I tend to let people run over me which is bad thing. I tend to get really upset when said harsh things to or slandered. I am working on it just having positive reinforcement’s helps a lot. It is hard for me to accept constructive criticism because I put my mind to something and I don’t like being told that I’m doing something wrong but if I am I like to be told that it’s alright or give positive feedback. Getting yelled at doesn't help either, I don’t like when people play the “I’m higher than you” card because you are no more or less than a human being than me. I also cuss a lot, I have a dirty mouth but I’m not so sure how to overcome that but normally I cuss to myself anyways. Although as I've heard on teamspeak that I am not the only one with this problem! Also I find it really nerve racking to talk first, I love to talk but it is hard for me to begin a conversation so once I get out there I’m sure I will overcome that fear. For example say I am being put on the spot for the first time, when I am asked a question it might take a few minutes to calm down and answer it to the best of my abilities. I am not slow I just get really nervous because I don’t want it to be what you are not looking for. I have already suggested two different ideas and one I got put down majorly and the other I was told was a phenomenal idea which makes me feel 100% better than how I felt getting talked down to and called stupid but I understand that sometimes not everybody will like your ideas.

Conclusion: All in all I do believe in myself and my abilities to help others. I think I would be a wonderful asset to this server because of some of the ideas I have in my head. I understand that it takes time and effort to get where I want to be but that won’t happen unless I try. You should always believe in yourself no matter how many times people tell you that you can’t do something. I am always on skype because it is on my phone even though it’s not a requirement for the game, I usually get on teamspeak also and play the game all in one. Oh the joys of a computer that can run all of it at once! I do believe that I would make a great helper and I know that there is always room for improvement. I sure hope I covered all of the main points that I needed to and I hope you consider my application, thanks for reading! If there is anything else you would like to know do not hesitate to ask. Adios!
