Skills

A skill that I have acquired over time is the ability to be very outgoing in completely new situations where I don't know any one in that environment. This is a skill that I have acquired from moving many, many, times during my life. I have learned that without this skill it is easy to remain lonely as most people have a hard time beginning the conversation with a new person as it is a little awkward if not intimidating to begin a new relationship with someone without any common friends.
It has taken many moves to acquire and hone my skill of not being embarrassed to be outgoing in new situations. My motivation for honing this skill was because of the many times I have moved and the realization that if I was not the one to break the ice, a lot of the time no one does and you end up remaining on the outside instead of becoming part of the group.

I believe the way that my skill has been acquired can be applied to writing in the idea that I am unafraid of making a mistake, possibly suffering public embarrassment, therefore in my writing I can be creative and adventurous in the way I write and accept criticism in a positive way as I have learned to accept social criticism at times. Like any skill writing will take time to hone as well and I want to be more skilled at it by the time I have finished this class.

Have a great day
