The Personality of Spongebob Squarepants

SpongeBob SquarePants is a Nickelodeon cartoon that aired on May 1st, 1999. It was created by Stephen Hillenburg who was a marine biologist. Spongebob himself has become such a popular character thats its almost impossible to for anyone to not know who he is. In a way you can compare him to other popular characters such as Mickey Mouse who is an iconic household name, yet most people do not sit around and watch Mickey Mouse cartoons on replay. Yet there are multiple channels on YouTube that post live streams of endless hours of SpongeBob episodes on loop.

If I could pick to be one person for a day, I’d choose Spongebob Squarepants. That may sound silly, but he has hidden qualities that I would like to possess. He has a great personality, is a hard worker at everything he does, is loyal to his friends, has a great home, and most of all he loves himself for the way he is. SpongeBob has an all around great outlook on life. Day by day going to work, loving his job and everyone around him. When someone is down, he always has the right words to say to make him or her happy. No one is ever sad when they are around him except for the grouch, Squidward.

Spongebob may be annoying at times, but he isn’t doing it on purpose. If people haven’t noticed, he is always smiling. He doesn’t care if he annoys people or not. He is just happy for being who he is. I would like to have his resilient personality for a day. Not caring about the world around me, just being myself and going on with my day. Spongebob shows me that I shouldn’t care what people think of me and should just live life the way I want to live it. There are many times in my life that the opinions of others that have affected me but have made me the person who I am today. The opinions of others sometimes bring you down but with Spongebob’s personality I would be able to look on the bright side and happily go on with my day.

Spongebob may be a fictional character, but he has a lot of aspects that people want in their own life. Especially having a best friend like Patrick. They have been best friends since day one and that would be great to have. Patrick has never left Spongebob’s side and has been through everything with him. I envy their relationship. I may have friends, but the relationship has never lasted like theirs has. They never stuck around when things got tough. To have a relationship like Spongebob and Patrick would be a goal for me.

Hard working has always been a trait I want. I have some aspects of it, but Spongebob has a bigger quality of it. He goes to work everyday and works his butt off, even though he doesn’t get paid that much. Money doesn’t matter to him. Flipping patties at The Krusty Krab is what he loves and enjoys doing, so that’s what he worries about. He cares about the customers more than himself; they will always come first. Spongebob values other’s happiness before his own.

Yes, it may be silly that I picked Spongebob, but he has a lot of traits in his life that I don’t have and to have all of his for one day would be delightful. I’ve watched Spongebob since I was a child and every time I watch it, I want to be just like him a little bit more. He is an inspiration to me because he shows me that I need to be myself no matter what anyone says and to work hard at everything I do in my life.
