⋘ Kaya's KC Application ⋙

Thanks so much for accepting me, it means the world :hearts:

:blue_heart: Introduce yourself. Tell us about yourself, what you like, dislike, timezone, etc. :blue_heart:

Hello! I'm Katie, or Kaya, as I go by on the internet. I'm a female teenager living in the USA who loves animals, art, water, and quiet. I live in the Eastern time zone, and is on AJA for at least an hour a day.

I live on a farm out in the middle of a forest. My house used to be part of the Underground Railroad, then after that this inventor dude moved in and added on to the house. He added the room that wraps around three-fours of the house, the mudroom, and all the outlets. My room is small and cozy. At night, thanks to the reflections of the windows from the big room, I can see almost everything inside and out of my house.

I adore animals. I live with them, I work with them, I play with them, I write about them, I try to draw them, and everything in between. I have 23 horses, 6 ponies, 6 cats, 3 dogs, 2 goats, 2 ducks, 2 guinea pigs, 2 chickens, 1 cow, 1 donkey, and 1 goose. I ride my beautiful horses, Foxy and Lacey, at least 4 times a week.

I'm a very creative person. I love art, writing, poetry, crafts, sculptures, self expression, ect. I love when people come up with original ideas that benefit the community. I also can't get enough ocs :joy: I currently have 5 that I actually use.

:blue_heart: What are your flaws and how do you hope to improve them? :blue_heart:

I'm obsessive sometimes. I get really deep into something then get disappointed and mad at myself if I do something wrong. I know that this is not healthy, and maybe if I tell myself what I'm doing right this will go away.

I always think that people are talking or laughing about me. I'm suspicious of everyone. I know that not all people talk about me, and I don't have a target painted on my back, and I know that this is unhealthy, too. I try not to care what other people say, but it's hard.

I have anxiety. Sometimes fear takes me over and shuts me down, and I have a panic attack. I am afraid of boats, losing control, being trapped, most insects, hurting animals, hospitals, clowns, losing my family, and being buried alive. I know that most of my fears are irrational, and I know I can't let fear rule my life. But it's hard.

:blue_heart: How active are you? :blue_heart:

I am very active, logging on at least twice a day to check chats and notifications.

:blue_heart: Explain the concept of the KC and what kindness means to you. :blue_heart:

The Kindness Club is a group like no other. There are no levels, competitions, or unfairness. The prize? Kindness. The KC goes around making days and putting smiles on faces. They comment a cute script on posts and just cheer people up and give them a reminder that they're not alone.

Kindness is the light in the world. It makes people's days, it inspires them to make a change. Kindness is giving a homeless person food, volunteering at an animal shelter, or just being there. Kindness is helping and caring about people or animals. There's no rules to how it works, no competitions. Kindness is noticing things. Next time you ride the bus, smile and thank the driver. Next time you go to school, offer to help the janitor. Give the homeless person on your street some money or food. Give your best friend a card on their birthday. There are so many ways to be kind, all it takes is noticing, caring, and respecting.

:blue_heart: What can you bring to the KC? What improvements do you think could be made to the KC? :blue_heart:

I can bring motivation and positivity. I'm good at making people feel good, and they want to keep going. I'm pretty positive, and people like being around me. I am good in a work area, and I listen to others.

:blue_heart: Why do you want to the KC? :blue_heart:

This is my dream group. Ever since I first ed AJA, I wanted to make this group. I was a bit disappointed when I found out that it was already made, but my spirits brightened when I saw that applications would be open in the future.

I really love the concept. There is no competition, no prizes to earn, nothing except for sweet words. I know that it makes me happy to see a KC script on a post even if I didn't post it. I love complimenting people, and like making cute scripts.

I am already a kind person, but I strive to be better still. You can always improve. I try really hard to think before I act, and think about what I do may impact others.

:blue_heart: Are you able to keep log activity? :blue_heart:

Yep! I have plenty of time on my hands.

:blue_heart: Do you work well with others and do you have any official group experience? :blue_heart:

I work very well with others! I'm pretty good at keeping a large group of people on task. I don't have any official group experience, but I was a co-leader in HAF, I am a member in AJWM, I'm a member in JT, and I'm a leader in my amino, Animal Jam Star Amino.
