Mental and emotional fortitude. I rarely lose my cool when confronted with a bad situation. Some people tend to mistake this in me for apathy... I just don't freak out. I can assess a situation and find a solution quickly and effectively, while still being able to process it emotionally later. When I spilled half a pot of boiling fry oil on myself while alone in the house, I got myself to the bath and applied cool water to get as much of the oil off as possible, gathered my things, then called my mother for a ride to the hospital. I didn't cry or stress, and even made jokes to the nurse at the front desk while most of my left leg was covered in hand-sized boils.

That's amazing! I think keeping a clear head (or at least assessing what things to worry about and when) just helps set the tone for others as well. You got this..
