The reason as to why I want to be a General Helper is because I love helping people and answering questions.

I think that being a General Helper is a really important job especially when you know that people rely on you for assistance. I think this job would not only be important but fun as well and a great opportunity to take in.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? every day
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit? it varies, but at least 2 hours per day
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position? i've helped on other forums before, usually in moderation, but that included answering questions. i know all the help threads fairly well and i know who i can direct users to if i myself can't answer a question. i know fair trades a bit, not rares list a whole lot, but lower level trades. i can read a bit of spanish thanks to some friends and i can read latin with ease, which sounds irrelevant, but it helps to understand other languages!
Why do you want to be a General Helper? i feel i have a lot to contribute towards helping others, but i always worry about being called a mini-mod or overbearing. i truly do enjoy answering questions and helping extend user knowledge of the site. i tend to see lots of unanswered questions and it would be nice to be a figure that people know they can go to when they need help! i've been on this site for almost 3 years and as i said before, i feel i have a lot to contribute as a general helper. :3

What date did you register as a CS member?:
(if it's less than 8 months ago, do not apply)
I applied in April 2011.

How many posts have you made in the forum (at the time of applying):
(if it's less than 300, do not apply)
8142.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?
Every day of the week.

How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?
On weekdays, it is usually about 5 hours. On weekends it is more around 8 - 10 hours.

Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?:
(this is not required) (for example do you speak any other languages, or have you had any experience in peer mediation? Do you consider yourself a trade-value expert? Do you already answer a lot of questions in the forum?)
I think I'm pretty good with sorting out issues between people, and I can speak different languages, but I'm not the greatest. I know I could find a way to communicate with a foreign CS user.

Why do you want to be a General Helper?

I think it would be a pretty good position to be in, and I tend to like helping out and sorting out disputes. I generally spend a lot of time on CS, and I think a position would give me more stuff to do. I know how to get around CS and I know everything about where things are and what you should and should not do, so I think, personally I could be a good person to apply for the slot.

How many days a week do you usually visit CS? I come on everyday,unless something comes up.If something comes up it is always noted in my signature.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?3+ hours,
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position: I can work well under pressure,specifically with people who are having a rough time,are feeling bad or just need help.I can also speak some French,and am working on learning German.I also have a pretty good understanding of how the forums work.
Why do you want to be a General Helper? I see much too often that newbies are the main target of unfair trades and tricked into thinking COPPA'd means they aren't allowed to post at all.I would like to help people with this as I know how this feels,it's unfair and I just want others to get the chance to have fun on here,and not have that taken away from them.

How many posts have you made in the forum?:

How many days a week do you usually visit CS?:
Everyday, unless of an event, of which I would reach CS on my phone.
How many hours per day do you usually spend on CS, on a day that you do visit?:
4+, on weekends almost the entire day. c:
Can you think of any particular skills you can bring to the position?:
I have some knowledge of the Oekaki, and am learning French so later I may be able to use that language. ;u; I know the rares list a bit, so I could try to help with trading, although it's not as strong as my Oekaki areas. I also think of myself as a "people person," as I do love to chat. c: A possible career for me which I have been thinking about is a lawyer, so I think I can help people negotiate agreements in the forums if there is an argument. Although I may seem shy at first, I'm sure I'll easily adjust and become very active as a General Helper if I am to become one. I know how to do BBC coding and would love to help with that, too. I am fairly adjusted to the whole "My Account" area, so I can help with pretty much anything there. c: I believe that I can explain things fairly well, so I think I would be able to explain nearly anything I know about Chicken Smoothie to anyone who asks. I believe that I am good with people too, and I like to help with any arguments and help everyone become friends. I know that I haven't been visiting the Introductions Board before, but if I do win, I'll post on every topic of which I can.
Why do you want to be a General Helper?:
I want to be a General Helper because I've always found pleasure in making people happy and feel welcomed. I would take care of my position and try to be the best role model I can be. I love the feeling of people responding in a joyful way to my answers. I would spend lots of time in the introductions board to welcome people to this wonderful site. Even though I've been on here for only just over a year, I feel like I've been here my entire life. I believe that I have learned lots about Chicken Smoothie, and it seems I am a fast learner, since I barely ever run across anything I'm unsure of, and I doubt I ever will again. Chicken Smoothie has sunken deep into my heart and I feel that if I am a General Helper, I can help make it special to everyone. Everyone deserves to have the feeling I feel when I log in and see new posts, trades and messages, the excitement and wonder of whats just around the corner, just out of reach. The staff(mainly General Helpers) that helped me when I joined were so sweet and patient. ;u; I was pretty much clueless and they just guided me along a sweet, smooth path that leaded to me staying on this site, to enjoy the view.
Everyone that had encouraged me to stay since they were so kind were really the General Helpers in the beginning. They made me feel like I could be like them one day. I believed that even though I was young, I could be courageous and smart. The many impacts they had on me are countless, and I think that maybe I could be like them one day. c: I really believe that anyone could make this part, as long as they tried hard enough. Even though I joined fourteen months ago, those months made me a brand new person, smart, braver and more aware. The endless possibilities of this site makes it very interesting, and much worth while. Just the very thought of being a General Helper enlightens my mind,and I think that I actually have a shot at this because of all of you. Everyone on this site makes me feel alive, and I would just "die" if I were to be able to help you guys.Tess, Nick, Sorren Fey, Hekomi, Bernouli, Solloby, Fiery Gatoh, Vampiric, SoulWings, Chia, Ricorn, Tyr, Yulynh, wibeke, Solfeggio, -3B-, Metallic Dragon , Satamoru, Pluma, Phale, Dianne, Spotty, Briar Rose, Orchid Sprig, Atwood, Coalchaser, Verdana, TheCalicoTabby, Drizzle, Serena 4708, Seasonal <3, Sylvia 529, Olivia, Chry,Nadine, Lady Aracne, Zephayer, Tif + Jo, Arouria, Rosalind, wesleydog, PitchBlack, bibz, DoctorDraca, Saikiyo, Yağmur, Cloudsong, Jadeghost, and last but not least, Pandle made me all believe in myself. I believe that now, I will be a good fit for the position of a General Helper, and given my experience during my short span of a year, I can help more people learn, enjoy, and create.

Thank you so much, Tess, for this wonderful opportunity to help out on this amazingly incredible site. <3
