|
Communication |
I am pretty
good at writing, but not so good at verbal stuff because I’m
so much younger than my class mates. 2 ½ years is a life
time to teenagers. |
|
Negotiation |
Because of
my lack of confidence with social skills I am not a good
negotiator. |
|
Numerical |
I am pretty
good at Maths. |
|
Technological |
Computers
are my strong point. |
|
Social |
I’m a bit of a
loner. |
|
Physical |
I like
sport but don’t get to play much at school because the
timetable means I can’t play with guys my own size. I am a
pretty good swimmer. |
|
Creative |
I’m not really
creative. |
|
Leadership |
Most
people in my year group don’t take me seriously because I’m
younger than them. |
|
Practical |
I can do a lot
of stuff. Dad says I’m a pretty useful guy to have around. I
like to pull things apart and put them back together. |
|
Home duties |
Mum is
great and doesn’t nag me about doing stuff. I make my bed
every Saturday. |
Computers and Chess.
Casual work:
Not old enough yet.
Work Experience: I was too young to do it in Year 10.
• I got Certificate
II in IT when I was in Year 10.
• I did Asian Cooking at Evening College when I was in Year 9.
Your choice: Would like to work in the Computer Industry
Parent's expectation of you: They don’t care what I do as
long as I get a University degree - something they didn't get.
