Personal Statement

1.What would you say is your greatest talent or skill? How have you developed or demonstrated that talent over time?

My greatest skill would be having the ability to learn a new instrument during my 4 years in high school. Learning a new instrument takes a lot of work and being in 2 music classes(symphony and philharmonic)is a very rigorous task.

Which is the reason being that I wanted my last two years of high school to be the two years that I was most proud of. My problems that I've overcome have shaped me into being a well-founded person because I keep track of my work that I need to do and over the years my note taking skills have improved. This is very beneficial to me at a work and school place because I know that people will look and me and see that I am a very responsible person once it comes down to the things that I need to do and being
