<p>Can anyone give me some ideas about what they put? The only thing I can think of is that I am First Horn in my school orchestra and I can play the instrument very well.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I put my love of learning and the fact that I'd probably be a 72 year old grandma still going to school to learn a new language or craft.</p>
<p>I put stuff like wiggling my ears, being able to recite the Greek alphabet, being able to pronounce Middle English, etc.</p>
<p>Are they looking for some obscure talent or something more general (like music, etc.) that you're good at?</p>
<p>Well I figured that some of the talents I could have put (like music, writing, etc.) weren't special or specific to me, so I put ones that other people probably wouldn't have, thus making me special. ;)</p>
<p>Plus, the superficial talents are readily available in your ECs, most of the time. If you're an extraordinary writer and are the #1 contributor to a literary magazine, why repeat yourself?</p>
<p>This section is a great opportunity to be a little less serious...be creative!</p>
<p>Are we suppose to write our responses in paragraph format? I did mine in a bulleted list. :O</p>
<p>I did mine in sentence format, and each one said something completely different. It worked for me :-)</p>
<p>I have NO clue what to say for that prompt. I've just been staring at it for the last hour.</p>
<p>anything quirky about yourself? or some special talent? (like twisting your tongue in the shape of a 3 leaf clover--I know, I have a gift)</p>
<p>LOL, well now that you mention it, I recently went to Ripley's and learned that you are 1 in 1000 if you can twist your tongue completely upside down. I can do that. But that's all I can think of. I'm not particularly great at any one thing, at least not enough to call it a "talent."</p>
<p>you can refer to some ordinary thing as if it's amazing (Ex. I can crack my knuckles in 5/4 time.)</p>
<p>Is that really what they are looking for? I thought you had to present more serious talents instead.</p>
<p>I wrote it... I introduced with some funny talents (curl tounge, drink a large 7/11 slurpee in less than a minute, put my head under my leg... ect) and then onto some more serious talents, such has my ability to play the French Horn very well.</p>
<p>yeah, it's good to juxtapose serious w/ creative/quirky</p>
<p>Thanks a lot, I just finished it. Off to mail it tomorrow on the dealine of course. I should have put procrastination as one of my talents; I do it better than anyone else I know!</p>
<p>I'm a better procrastinator than you. I still have to do essay #2. Poo.</p>
<p>Lol.. I sent mine off. Unless I wanted to go to NYC, all the post offices are closed right now.</p>
<p>Public speaking, desktop publishing, and knowing how to use spreadsheets. Nothing spectacular like playing an instrument.</p>
