Patricia
Patricia is boisterous and fun, the life of the party. She usually enjoys being in a crowd, and she finds it easy to talk to people and make new friends. Patricia sees herself as a people person, and that's exactly how her friends and family would describe her. Her career involves a lot of pressure and deadlines, but she tends to handle stress quite well and seeks out new challenges. There is one co-worker who aggravates Patricia a great deal, but instead of getting angry or lashing out at him, she is overly polite and sickeningly sweet to him. Because of her disposition and her ability to deal well with large projects and teams of people, Patricia recently earned a very big promotion. People who knew her when she was very young might be surprised at how far she's come in life, considering that she had a very rough upbringing in a very poor family.
