Did you know the qualities of Four Diamonds were actually created to represent specific people?

Each Diamond represents either courage, wisdom, honesty, or strength. Please choose one of these qualities that you believe best describes you as a person. What makes this quality most significant to you? Was there anything that inspired you to have this quality?

Each of these qualities show importance in a person, and more importantly in a community. Each day, children conquering cancer have to use these qualities to work through their treatments. I hope this reflection allows you to be even more inspired to support Mini-THON all FTK!!

The Four Diamonds Quality I feel represents me is strength. I feel that this quality is most significant in my life because no matter what is going on at the time, I continue to persevere and complete my goals, and go about my day trying to make the world better for those around me. Whether I get upset, frustrated, or have other things going on, I always find a way to push through. My biggest inspiration was when I first met Owen. hearing a story like his is something I'll never forget, but nonetheless, he continues each day with the biggest smile and always wants to have fun, despite what he has endured.

The Four Diamonds quality that represents me the most is honesty. I truly do believe that honesty is the best policy, and if everyone was honest a lot more would get done and there would not be any miscommunication. I try to be honest all of the time, however, I'm human and nobody is perfect.

Personally, I think strength represents me the most. I hate to give up on anything, so I always try my best to push through any challenges I face. I feel like I have a different kind of strength in each aspect of my life, but in the end I try to always keep moving forward.

I think the quality that represents me the most is strength. Being able to get up everyday and go to school and then go to a practice and then go to work or complete homework takes a lot of motivation and strength. I feel like having strength is something almost everyone can relate to because everyone has had some sort of challenge that they had to overcome and preserver through and having the strength to do so is an admirable quality.

I think honesty represents me best, because I always do my best to be honest with myself and others at all times. I think honesty is an important virtue to have because it helps other trust you and allows for more open communication with friends and family. I feel like being honest can help form new friendships and create a better environment for everyone.

The quality that I feel represents me the most is strength. I have been through a lot in my life and continue to cope with the effects of my past daily. It is often a struggle for me to complete basic tasks and I have to work very hard to get anything done at all. Me being here and alive is in itself and act of strength, but I have worked super hard to help myself get better. In under a year, I have made leaps and bounds of progress, going from being almost unable to go out in public to now having a complex social life. Furthermore, I now have coping mechanisms. Despite my improvements, every day is still a challenge, but now I face the day no matter how I am feeling.

I feel that the quality that discribes me would be honesty. I feel this because I am a person who typically speaks whatever I feel and will be fully honest no matter the topic. I try my best to be honest because it positively affects myself and others in most situations, and can allow the bonds formed with others to remain strong.

I hope that I embody all four of the qualities represented by the Four Diamonds organization, but if I had to choose one, I'd pick honesty. I feel that I am a very truthful and trusting person who has integrity. One of the values I have tried to instill in my own children is the importance of honesty. We have always told them that the worst thing you can do is lie about something. No matter how bad your actions may be, being truthful always helps - the truth eventually comes out anyway! Honesty truly is the best policy.

The quality that represents me the most is wisdom. In my life, I embody this by thinking about the best possibilities for every situation. I feel like I am someone who makes decisions based on facts, which is part of the reason why I chose wisdom. This quality is also super vital to Four Diamonds and Mini-THON as a whole. As a club, I feel like we are always trying to learn more and become educated about ways we could improve.

I don't see myself as particularly courageous or strong, and I'm a little too young to possess much wisdom. These qualities must be worked for over time. Honesty, however, is something one can choose to display at any point. There are few situations in which honesty is not the most advantageous course to choose. Ultimately, relationships and trust grow stronger through honesty, which is why I strive to display it throughout my life.

This is really short because my laptop restarted, but I would say wisdom is probably the quality I match best with. I know I'm pretty smart, and I don't know hoe well that translates to wisdom, or how other people view me, but I think this one is closest.
