Critical Thinking Assignment What are your gifts, talents, and unique abilities? When it comes to my gift, I can sum it up in one word, patience. Being a victim of Hurricane Katrina, I was forced out of a job in which I worked at for over nine years. With no education to fall back on, I did the only thing I could think of at the time, join the Army. Leaving my family was very difficult; however, I needed to do something positive to regain control of my life. Having patience got me through this difficult time. I consider myself to be very talented. Being the artistic person that I am, I love to entertain people. Singing, dancing, and making people laugh are just a few of my hidden talents. Being unique is what I strive to be. Even with all the things I’ve been through, helping people is my passion. I would love to counsel youth and show them that there is a better route in life besides selling drugs or their body on the streets. There is so much more to life, all you have to do is go out and grab it. What are you most interested in and passionate about? I love to inspire young people. Watching young soldiers throw away their military careers with drug and alcohol is something so hard to just sit back and watch. I’ve learned that so many of these soldiers just need someone to talk to. Someone that won’t judge them for what they’ve done or what they’re currently doing. I give them the tough love they need. Explaining to them how joining the military has brought me a long way and given me more now than I’ve ever had. What do you love to do that the world needs? Love life. Since I’ve been in the military I’ve experienced so many young soldiers taking their lives. There is nothing more important than life. Being a supervisor to several soldiers I remind them every day about the importance of life and how killing themselves would devastate their love ones.
