Like most kids I wanted to be Gryffindor, since they get the best press from the books, but I felt like a Huflepuff more than the other houses. I value kindness and compassion more, and while I can't say I'm naturally a hard worker, I am passionate about things and if I feel motivated I work long and hard to achieve my goals.
I'm considered a great friend. I do my best to be there for friends, in any capacity. To me Hufflepuff is a great house that goes unappreciated except when it's needed, like the value of compassion.
