Nothing
Communication
I am dumb, so
I guess that I am no good at communicating. That’s what my
teacher may as well have said to me last week when I swore
at her, that I don’t know how to communicate my frustration…
stupid cow.
Negotiation
I don’t
know what negotiation is, someone get me a dictionary.
Numerical
Hate math,
hate school. I can do adding, subtraction and my time
tables, what more do you need?
Technological
I play
games on the school computers and watch TV, that’s about the
extent of my using technology.
Social
I hang out
with one guy Nick, but that’s about it. We don’t do much. I
just go to his house and we watch DVD’s and play computer.
That’s all the social life I have, sometimes we throw in a
case of beer for extra entertainment.
Physical
Don’t do
any sport so I guess that rules out me being a physical kind
of guy.
Creative
I did a short
film for Media Studies - it wasn't too bad. In fact I topped
the class.
Leadership
I don’t do
anything where I am going to be a leader. And I definitely
don’t follow people who try to lead me, especially when we
have to do stupid group activities, I never get involved and
if they try to involve me I tell them to get stuffed.
Practical
What do you
mean by practical? There’s nothing I can be really practical
at, because I don’t do anything much to do practical.
Home duties
I don’t do
any cleaning, unless I am made to do it. Sometimes I might
clean my room (chuck things under the bed) when mum hounds
me to do it, and sometimes dad makes me mow the lawn but
that’s all. Cleaning is mum’s job she just can’t do it
right.
Not really talented at anything. But I don’t care because there are
heaps of people good at different stuff, which means I can chill out
and be bad at everything. I am pretty good at arguing though… is
that a talent?
Actually Nick's Dad reckons I'm pretty good with my hands. He is a
carpenter and Nick and I help him with some of his jobs and muck
around in his workshop.
Casual work: Never done any casual work, except for a few days helping Dad in the
holidays.
Work Experience: Not doing any work experience because of what my sister told me
about being made to do it.
I have no qualifications
or certificates.
