There are so many characteristics in sikhi which impress me to stay as a sikh. You could go on writing thousands of characteristics. Its not something which you can briefly describe. I will try to describe some of them here in my answer.

  1. Briefly describe those great things in Sikhi that impress you to stay as a Sikh.
  • Equality; no cast systems or differences between male/female
  • Gurdwaras available to all
  • Sri Guru Granth Sahib written by the gurus, not priests
  • etc.
  1. What great qualities in the teachings of the Sikh Gurus inspire you to be their followers?

Qualities:

  • Peaceful
  • Honest
  • Forgiving
  • Great teachers

Teachings:

  • Equality
  • three basic rules to live by: naam japna, Wand chhakana and Kirt Karna
  • God judges man by actions, not casts
  • Don't escape from problems, face them!
  • opposed idol worship and many rituals
  • spiritual education is very important

3.What achievements of the Gursikhs impress you the most and make you want to be like them?

I don't judge sikhs by what they have accomplished but by what what they can do.

  • Baba Deep Singh; his courage
  • Harbhajan Singh Yogi; spreading of his knowledge
  • Beant Singh; determination and courage
  • Satwant Singh; determination and courage
  • Banda Singh Bahadur; willingness and courage

They all are important sikhs in sikh history.

Note: Many Gursikhs gained achievements that weren't reconized.

I hope this answered your very difficult question.
