Special Talents? What?

<p>What exactly are they looking for here? I'm not a concert hall musician, a painter, a computer programmer, an interpretive dancer, a mime, a yo-yo star, etc. etc. </p>

<p>What I have going for me is some leadership positions and A LOT of work put into certain clubs. But none of this is really considered a "talent" or "skill." </p>

<p>Or am I just looking at this the wrong way? What are some appropriate things to put into this space?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Feel free to have a little fun with that section. Put down some random tid bit about your self that makes you somewhat unique. It doesnt necessarily need to be a talent. When I applied I think I put the fact that I had memorized capitals of every state, canadian province, and over half of the countries in the world. But then again I'm a bit of a dork :)</p>

<p>Are you good at Monopoly or trampoline jumping? A good joke teller? A good listener? Sand castle builder? Do you play solitaire?</p>

<p>Think about something you like to do for fun when you are on vacation or have some free time or are in homework avoidance mode - whatever it is, you are probably good at it.</p>

<p>I put that I'm teaching myself french, I kayak a lot, and am trained to teach a non-violence course--things that were unique about me but weren't included in my transcript.</p>

<p>I memorized every state capital and some capitals of the world's nations too! Darn! I wish a thread like this was around when I applied EA. </p>

<p>I just put that I could read both treble and bass clef, play tuba, euphonium and trumpet, and communicate in five languages. I don't think any of these make me seem particularly unique.</p>
