**what is an enneagram? **
====An anneagram is a system that shows 9 different personality types. It is usually used for self-discovery. Most people have one personality type which is found by doing a short test. It﻿ was originally put together by Oscar Ichazo. ====

**1. the reformer **
====Ones have a sence of right and wrong and try to make things better. They are organised but sometimes afraid to make mistakes. At their best they are wise and realistic. ====

**4. the individualist **
====Fours can be honest, creative and show their individuality. they take care of their emotional feelings first. at their best they are highly creative. ====

**5. the investigator **
====Fives sometimes withdraw but they are independent and can work on things that they are intrested in. at their best they can see the world in a new way. ====

**7. the enthusiast **
====Sevens want to keep their freedom and happiness. They can be spontanious and have a high spirit. At their best they appritiate what they have and are joyful. ====

**9. the peacemaker (my personality type) **
====Nines try to avoid conflict and keep things as they are, keep peace of mind and keep peace in their environment. They are known to be easygoing and their best they bring people together, are very accepting, are complacent, receptive and trusting. Some of the peacemakers down sides are that they sometimes withdraw or are stubborn. they are known to put things off or do unimportant things before important things. ==== ====The peacemaker has each of the personality types in its personality. i was suprised to see how alike i am to nines, even though there are a few things i dont relate to, i think it is the one i am most alike. ====  Nelson Mandela //"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear." // Nelson Mandela was born on the 18th of July, 1918. He was born in a small village in South Africa where he grew up. He was the first in his family to go to school. After finishing school, he went to college where he studied law. In 1964, nelson was sent to prison for encouraging black South africans to go on strike and illegally leaving the country. This was while he joined the ANC which was a group that helped black people. During his life in prison, he became well known as the most significant black leader in South Africa. In 1990 he was released from prison and made a speech saying he was committed to bringing peace and reconciliation to the country. One of his main goals at the time was to bring peace to the black population and let them vote in elections. On 10th of May, 1994, Nelson Mandela became South Africa’s first black leader with the ANC, African National Congress. Another one of his achievements was his work with the environment and letting black people vote, this changed South Africa for the better. He also won the Noble peace prize in 1993 with F.W. de Klerk, and there is a movie about him. At first I would’ve thought that nelson Mandela is a peace maker because of his work with bringing peace to South Africa and the black people that lived there and with the Noble prize he won in peace. After Google searching I found out that some say he is a peacemaker and some say he is a reformer/perfectionist. I think that he could be both because he is compassionate and gentle like a peacemakers but he fits into the perfectionist a lot with his need to make himself and the world a better place and make a difference, and even after going to jail for something he did, he still inspired people and never gave up with his goals.
