When acquiring new skills, I usually think to myself, “How is this skill going to come in handy when I enter the working world?” If I cannot think of any purpose for knowing the skill, then I tend to forget about it. For example, I do not see any using for knitting except to pass the time and I do not plan on taking a class about how to knit anytime soon. One thing I do think is important to learn and always improve on would be my writing skills. I figure no matter where my career takes me whether it be on stage, backstage, or even being a stay at home mom I will always be writing. Even if I’m not writing papers for classes or writing my own play I do need to know the basic skills to write a simple email or letter to a coworker or family member.
