What would you say is your greatest talent or skill? How have you developed and demonstrated that talent over time? The way I use my creative side is through basketball. Whenever i started playing basketball i was nervous and shy to play with others. I had started playing basketball when i was in 6th grade, everyone is not good at what they start at so you work your way up and get better and what you want to do. To this day i still play and i have improved my skills by practicing everyday. This sport was really fun, it helped me not just in the sport but also relieve my stress. I would get mad all the time and all i did was grab a ball and dribble it around. Practices makes perfect, never give up, and do what you like.

Ways I tried to overcome that is get help from teachers one by one. Another way I tried to overcome that is getting help from my peers. Always watching Youtube videos of math has helped alot also. I’m a visual learner so seeing pictures or example right in front of me helped alot
Describe your favorite academic subject and explain how it has influenced you. My favorite subject would have to be history, I enjoyed it so much because it was so fascinating to learn about what happened before when we didn't have much technology and how they handled it. History helped me understand that all decisions have an outcome, some good and some bad, and how some people made history by making certain decisions. My favorite year of history was my junior year with Mrs. Pierotte because he made me push myself to understand the subject way better.
