Communication I love to talk - Mum reckons my phone might have to be surgically removed. I do ok in English and like essay writing, so I think you’d say I’m a pretty good communicator.
Negotiation The only negotiating I have to do is with Mum as to how late I can stay out on Saturday nights sometimes. I don’t get anywhere though because she is sooo stubborn.
Numerical I love numbers- I am really good at Maths and all kinds of financial stuff. I might even think about Accounting as a career- only Accountants are supposed to be boring.
Technological I’m good at Computing and quite like it. That would probably be a help if I did Accountancy.
Social I have a mixed group of friends – both guys and girls. We hang out together for different things. I go to the gym with a couple of them and generally do the party thing with most of them. Mum always encourages me to have my friends over and we swim and have BBQs during Summer.
Physical I’m a bit of a gym junky. I’m fairly fit and in pretty good shape. Mum tells me I’m gorgeous, but she’s my mother so she might be biased.
Creative I’m into fashion and colour, so I must be a bit creative. I also love to write and draw.
Leadership I speak up and state my opinion when necessary which I think is part of being a leader. I also will stand up for what I believe in and don’t blindly follow the crowd.
Practical I am capable of doing things and fixing things if necessary. I don’t mind getting dirty.
Home duties I help out at home. There is only the two of us so things don’t get too messy.



I have a real flair for numbers. I can add up in my head and do lots of complicated computations.

Casual work: I help Mum in the Salon on Thursday nights and Saturdays. She pays me. She says she might as well keep it in the family.


Work Experience: I worked at Rebel Sport for my work experience last year. I thought that would be cool and had no real idea about what I should be doing for Work Experience.
