My strengths as a reader, writer, speaker, listener, and thinker vary. The strengths I have as a reader are, I am able to comprehend the stories message in great depth. In the First The Tribes of Palos Verdes 3.5 paragraph I state,”In the second Even though she showed her body off to get a surfboard, she took that surfboard and turned it into a passion in life. Not only did she turn it into a passion, she turned it into something that allows her to feel free and get away from this negativity.” This quote shows depth I look into a situation that is looked at as a very bad decision Medina made. As Mr bean states “look at the story as if you were a therapist,” I have started to gain this skill every time I read now. This allows me to look at situations

This quote also came from a paragraph I personally thought was one of my best and was the best grade I got on a paragraph this term. Listening Is something I can either do very well or not well. My strengths as a listener are when I am able to find interesting in the topic or really focus on it I am able to take a lot of information out of the topic being discussed. I find my mind having great growth when I discussed scenes or topic in class or just with Mr Bean. After Listening to others ideas my mind expands and I am able to see different perspectives from others and ideas on to mine that I didn’t have before. All it takes is a little bit of interest and focus and the outcome is very great. Thinking is one of my greater strengths just because I do a lot of it. My mind is always connecting ideas and coming up with new thoughts constantly. The strongest moment of thinking is when I annotated for The Tribes of Palos Verdes.

Turning in all of these assignments late did bring my grade down and also cause me to make extra work for myself. I need to paying attention to the little assignments just as much as the bigger assignments even tho their not worth as many points. As a writer I need to work on paying attention to the detail. My first multi-paragraph essay I got a 156 out of 200. Although there weren 't tons of spelling and grammar mistakes there were enough it cost me to lose many points lost. Something I need to work on as a speaker is my presentation of my body language. I am able to be confident with my words but my body language is not to that same point of confidence. I don 't always know what to do with my hands maybe making my presentation not as lively. My weakness as a listener is often do to lack of interest in the subject. A specific example was during Richard Hoffman’s presentation. I do have to say he is a very interesting man but his interests of writing were something I could not connect with. What I need to work on is even tho I might not be able to have much interest in the topic, I need to pushing myself to absorb this information Richard Hoffman or anyone speaking is saying. When I think I sometime find myself not being as open minded as a could be. When I find myself come upon topic in a story or a conversation I need to be open minded to everybody opinion. Even though this
