Sandra introduces “Ejee”. She is Sandra’s 15 year old stepdaughter. She is a sophomore in high school and she enjoys volleyball, basketball, track, art and choir. 

“Ejee” talks about her experience as an ESTP Enneagram 7 teen:

• Her favorite thing about school is the freedom at her highschool that comes with having an open campus
• Her least favorite thing about school is the teachers who do too much lecture-based learning. She has a tendency to zone out if she has to listen for too long, especially if a teacher gets too much into the meanings and perspectives of things. She wants to know the facts and then move on
• She doesn’t feel like she fits into a certain social category at school because she likes such a wide variety of things, from sports, to art, to choir, to physics. 
• She is happy to go with the flow of things and has a hard time picking a “favorite” because she feels like she likes everything
• She feels like she gets bored easily and wants to stay active and is always asking “what’s next?”
• She really likes to play sports and is up for trying anything, but she doesn’t find it interesting to watch sports
• She feels like she acts pretty impulsively and only stops to think about the consequences after the fact
• She likes high adrenaline activities and wants to go parasailing and skydiving
• Her advice to parents of ESTP kids is to not restrict them too much and if you have to say no to something, offer them something else fun to do instead
