Communication
You have to be
pretty good at communicating in a large family or you would
be lost! I used to be part of the debating team in Years 9 -
10.
Negotiation
I see it
happening all the time but I'm not sure that I would be very
good at it.
Numerical
I love Maths!
That's why I am doing Double Major. I like problem solving
Technological
I love
computers and really like talking to Dad about his job of IT
project management. I am pretty good at all things to do
with computers
Social
I have a great
social time especially with the Youth Group, Vinnies,
Basketball. I think I have good social skills
Physical
I am very
physical - "healthy mind, healthy body" philosophy.
Creative
While I love
Maths, Art is an area that relaxes me. I wanted to only do
it at A level but ended up with a Tertiary major and I am
very pleased I did. I don't like the essays that much but I
really like painting and drawing.
Leadership
I like leading
others. People seem to expect it of me.
Practical
I think I'm ok
but Mum reckons that most of us expect Greg (the postie) are
all nerds and couldn't change a light bulb!
Home duties
I have to do
my ironing and washing. I am rostered on once a week to make
tea for the family - usually spaghetti bolognaise! I have to
do rostered cleaning. Not sure that I like it very much.
Maths, Basketball
Casual work: I work
at the local Deli
Work Experience: I had work experience at my Grandad's work
but all I did was photocopy! Pretty boring.
