Irena Sendler
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Irena's basic stance toward life, the way others see her, the way Irena Sendler comes across, the face she shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Irena Sendler - her real motivation, which describes the kind of person she is at heart and where her true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Irena Sendler" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Irena a little better. This page describes the disguise Sendler wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Irena Sendler is always questioning and learning, and she seems young and alive no matter what her chronological age, for her mind is always alert, curious, flexible, and open to new experiences. Irena Sendler has a childlike enthusiasm for anything new and she learns easily, but she also gets bored rather quickly. Sendler can be somewhat of a scatterbrain, for she tends to have so many ideas and irons in the fire that it is hard to keep track of them all. She needs and craves variety, change, mental stimulation, and an active social life.

Articulate, clever, often funny and witty, she is always a refreshing and interesting conversationalist. Irena Sendler enjoys meeting and interacting with a variety of different people. She is friendly, flirtatious, and charming in a playful way, and no matter how badly she may be feeling, Irena never comes across as melancholic or somber. She may seem frivolous to other, more serious souls. Irena Sendler has a sense of humor and a sense of perspective that prevent her from taking herself or life too seriously. In fact, Sendler may seem flippant or unconcerned about matters that others consider very important.

In general, Irena Sendler responds to life mentally and objectively rather than emotionally, and she may not empathize with people very much. Irena does not like to be weighed down with too much responsibility or with others' emotional burdens. Furthermore, if she cannot fully grasp something with her reason and logic, Sendler will often choose to ignore it, including her own and other people's irrational feelings, desires, and needs.

Consistency and reliability are not great virtues of Sendler's and her life is apt to be full of changes and movement due to her restlessness. Irena Sendler becomes nervous and fidgety if things are not moving quickly enough. She is interested in what is current and up-to-date, the newest trends in thought or style.

Her gifts are a quick mind, verbal facility, a flair for language, social sophistication and polish, the ability to communicate, converse, and build bridges between people and between ideas. Irena Sendler tends to become an incessant chatterbox or gossip if she does not have work or other activities that utilize her mental, verbal, and social skills.

Irena Sendler radiates a sense of pride, self-assurance and a definite awareness of her own importance. It is hard to ignore Sendler when she is present, and her personality may overshadow or dominate the scene.

The initial impression Sendler makes on people may be somewhat deceiving, in that the way Irena thinks and her true opinions are not always readily apparent. Irena Sendler may try to clothe her ideas and thoughts in terms that tend to mute rather than clarify them. For instance, she may have a very definite, unambiguous opinion, but state it in such a gentle, tactful manner that it seems as though she does not stand behind it as vigorously as she would like. This creates miscommunication or misunderstandings at times. On another level, Irena Sendler tends to become scattered and nervous when she is out of balance. She needs clarity and order in her environment to be at her finest.
