Answer 1

150 words exactly!!

Step-by-step explanation:

A special talent I have worked hard on is contortionist/gymnastics. When I was younger I shared a room with my older sister. She would be able to do the splits and backbends and even a back walkover. She was very flexible and was able to do many things people couldn't. She would stretch for over 30 minutes every night and I began to too. It was relaxing for me so I practiced and practiced all the things she was doing. It took a long time to be able to face the fear of falling backward into a backbend but I overcame it. I was beginning to be even more flexible then she was since she was getting older and had less time on her hands. I am proud of how far I came and will hopefully become even better. So overall I had to work hard to achieve my goal.

Answer 2

My special skill is music, I play instuments, and I sing. I have made allstate many times, but this isn't due to my natural gift. This is because of my hard work and effort i put in over the school year, summer, and holidays. I go to chorus for two classes a day and sing for a total of three hours, then after that i mentor other students. When I get home from school every day i will usually also practice piano, guitar, and voice. This is the only way I can truley succeed at what i'm passionate about. Even though i have a good voice and the right style to play piano and guitar, I still need to practice so i can hone these skills and perfect them even more than I already have.
