Also, in the fifth and sixth grade talent show, me and a couple friends did a comedy skit and were very successful.

I would call out ingredients for the recipe and my friend who could barely see would put the ingredients in the bowl. As you might have guessed things got a little messy and the crowd loved it. We were voted the best act of the night and received gift cards to Barnes & Nobel (I was disappointed because I’m not the biggest reader). Another characteristic that people tell me I possess is that of outgoingness. Outgoing; being comfortable in social settings and interactions, and confident in
