BECOMING MYSELF

Becoming an adolescent gives you the opportunity to look at yourself and others and to consider who you are and who you want to be. Some of you are private people who need time alone. Others are outgoing and love to socialize. You all have strengths, abilities, and talents. Some of you might have physical skills and talents to communicate through activities such as dance, sports, and charades. Some of you might have social abilities and talents to co-operate, negotiate, empathize, or interact effectively with others. Still others of you might have logical abilities, musical abilities, verbal abilities, or visual abilities.
