Communication I love to talk and are always in trouble in class cos I won’t shut-up. I don’t like writing and hate reading.
Negotiation I’d prefer to talk my way out of any problems that arise… If not then a little clip round the ears might be in order.
Numerical I am pretty good with numbers because Dad tells me that you should always keep an eye on your money’s coming and goings.
Technological I only use computers to play games when the weather is bad, otherwise I am outside.
Social I like to hang with my boys. Sometimes I have a girlfriend, depends how I’m feeling.
Physical I work out as much as I can and I think that I am pretty good looking. I guess that I look like your typical Italian.
Creative Nah creative wouldn’t be a good word to describe me.
Leadership I guess in my group I am a leader which has its ups and downs. I like being able to influence the boys but it gets me into trouble in class. Dad believes that it is better to be a leader than a follower.
Practical I am heaps good at woodwork and things like that. I also love tinkering with my Dad and my mates cars.
Home duties Mum and my little sister basically do everything in the house. It’s more of a cultural thing than a sexist thing. Sometimes I offer to help in the yard with Dad.



I am a pretty good soccer player and made representative last year, I am also a pretty good driver and I think I am good at woodwork and carpentry.

Casual work:
I don’t have to get a job because Mum and Dad give me any money I need. They want me to focus on completing school as well as I can.

Work Experience:
I did work experience last year with a panel beater, but didn’t really enjoy that.


• Level 3 soccer coaching qualifications
 



Your choice:  builder

Parent's expectation of you: Dad would be really happy if I decided to become a builder and then join him in the business. I think he’d love to add “& Son” to his business name.
