Read this paragraph from the text: “I don’t know if I love wrapping presents because I’m great at it, or if I’m great at wrapping presents because I love it so much. Either way, it’s one of the only relaxing things that happen during the crazy holiday season. For 15 or 20 minutes, I am in complete control. Any problem I might have—whether it’s a corner that won’t line up right, a spot of untidy folding, or a limp ribbon—I can solve easily. All it takes is a little time, a little focus, and an unwillingness to settle for second best.”

Gloria thinks being in control is relaxing.
Gloria does not like solving problems.
Gloria is very easygoing and laid-back.
