Communication
I can read ,
write and count – What more do you want?
Negotiation
My old
man’s always saying stuff like “I’ll scratch your back- if
you scratch mine.” That’s negotiation isn’t it? I don’t do
anything I don’t want to though- so I guess I’m saying if
someone wants something from me they’ll have to work real
hard to get me to do it.
Numerical
I can count
and I know if someone’s trying to rip me off. That’s all the
maths I need.
Technological
I like
computer games and I’m real good at them. If they paid me
for doing that I’d be a millionaire.
Social
Don’t have
one. I play computer games and watch TV.
Physical
I’m OK. My
Mother’s always on at me to cut my hair, or was my hair or
have a shower. But I do what I want, when I want. I hate
sport- I never got picked to play anything so I stopped
trying to join in.
Creative
I love art. I
do some really cool drawings that would be awesome on a car
if I had one. I do them in any class when I’m bored - which
is all the time.
Leadership
I lead
myself astray. That’s the only leadership I know about. I
don’t believe in being a sheep and following the crowd.
Practical
I’m ok at
woodwork and automotive and I love art.
Home duties
Our place
is a mess so why should I do anything to keep it clean.
I’m good at drawing and doing stuff
with cars.
The teachers hate me so I don’t make the effort to do
anything much at school. They’d probably think I cheated if I handed
in any work.
Casual work:
The bloke who owns the Panel beating place down the road gets me to
come in when they’ve got a lot going on to help out. He pays ok and
he’s a pretty cool guy. He treats me like I’m a real person.
Work Experience: I wasn’t allowed to do Work Experience last year because I got
suspended and they didn’t trust me to do the right thing. I was
supposed to go to school, but I went to the pool every day.
