What would you say is your greatest talent or skill? How have you developed and demonstrated that talent over time?My greatest skills in the classroom are that I have good reading, writing, and listening skills. I believe I’ve had these talents since the beginning of my freshmen year in high school. I think the most important skill is my listening skills because it helps me understand any concepts talked about in each one of my classes. I believe this skill comes naturally to me because when a learning facilitator is speaking I just remember the important things they say about the subject. Describe how you have taken advantage of a significant educational opportunity or worked to overcome an educational barrier you have faced. My senior year at Lindsay High School, they offered a COS English class on my campus and I decided to take it to try to make my freshmen year in college easier for me. So far it’s going great. I passed my first semester of the class which was all of English 12 with an A. Now I am enrolled in the second semester which is Composition 1. Describe the most significant challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement? The most significant challenge I've been faced with is my whole senior year. I've struggled with academic classes, friendships, and family problems. The way I'm getting through it is I'm just focusing on myself and trying to push myself to graduate. I learned that not everyone is there to help you so you have to be independent. My life has changed because now I don't rely on anybody to help me with anything. Describe your favorite academic subject and explain how it has influenced you. My favorite academic subject in high school was Econ. Yes, I struggled a little in this class but my learning facilitator was the absolute best. I understood most information being taught in this class. Everyday, I would always look forward to going to this class. It helped me understand how to spend my money and how to manage the important things in life financially.
