Eldest here by 6 years - only 2 children in my family.
Confident: Yup
Determined: YES ver persisitant. Sometimes to the point where I'll keep going even when I know it's a lost cause.
Born Leader: Yup - A couple of my friends in college called me Sarge because I'd jumped in during hectic circumstances when no one else did.
Organized: Mostly well organized. I Hate clutter so am always attempting to organize it.
Eager to Please: Very much so. Peer pressure was a problem for me until I learned to recognize it and not cave to it.
Likes to Avoid Trouble: I used to always keep quiet instead of confronting a situation. I have learned this is not the way to go in my marriage.
I am also a Good Mediator - from the middle child. I mediated between my parents are many occasions. I was the peacekeeper in my family. Still am sometimes.
I did find myself under a lot of pressure to succeed. I still am in some cases. My brother and I still live in the same small town as my parents and they half expect my younger brother to screw things up. They're always there to bail him out. If hubby and I screw up though they tell me "You should have known better." and let us sink or swim. In some ways I've been glad they haven't bailed us (hubby and I) out when we've been in trouble because they tend to expect "payback" in some way or another. We can say now that we've taken care of ourselves.
