The next reason is when I was at basketball practice we had to run 10 times up and down the court in 1 minute and I beat everybody by at least 1 half court. One other reason is that I run a 24:00 minute 5k (3.1 miles), and always get in the top 5 in my age group. That why running is one of my best talents. My next talent is basketball. Basketball is one of my best talents because I have been playing it for a long time, and I am one of the best shooters on my basketball team. The

Taking this class has helped me understand the strengths and weaknesses in my writing skills, and it has given me the opportunity to strengthen the areas in which I was weak. An example of this is that I have become aware of my grammar and spelling errors as the semester progressed.…

    Starting with my strengths, I have always been athletic as I grew up playing almost every sport and acquired enough skills to do well in most other activities that may be new to me. I have assumed leadership roles on most of my sports team at one time or another, and in a number of projects at school. I do not see this as a huge strength at this time because my experience in leading as a teacher is fairly limited. However I hope to change this throughout this year with my multiple experiences in this class and others.…
