Communication
I am studying
Media and really enjoy it. I’m a pretty good communicator.
Negotiation
I think
young people don’t think enough about negotiation. When I
changed school I had to work really hard to convince Mum and
Dad it was a good idea.
Numerical
Reasonably
good at Maths. I don’t know if it is something I would like
to use in a career.
Technological
I’m only
average with technology. I can use a computer for most
things I need but wouldn’t want to make a career out of it.
Social
I like people.
I still keep in touch with my friends from my old school.
They can’t understand why I wanted to repeat. They reckon if
I wasn’t going to fail it was all good.
Physical
I love
Gymnastics, dancing and netball. I still do all three fairly
competitively so that eats into my time.
Creative
If you count
dancing, then I’m a bit creative, and I choreograph my own
floor routines in gymnastics.
Leadership
I prefer
to go with the flow. I think it takes too much energy to be
a leader.
Practical
I can change a
car tyre. I can tune in the channels on the TV.
Home duties
I keep my
room tidy when Mum nags me.
Dance and gymnastics.
Casual work:
No time
Work Experience: I did one week in Year 10- Netball
Association, Year 11 – Taught Dance at my Dance Teacher’s Studio.
• Netball Referee’s
Qualification
Your choice: Unsure
Parent's expectation of you: Want me to be happy but I feel
the pressure to go to Uni as Dad sees what a uni career can do for
you because of his work.
