<p>What are your proficient skills? I am quite curious, as I don't have any.</p>

2

<p>Piano, 93 on top exam of state, freshman year…
Latin-I’m pretty good at it, compared to most
Golf-I have good aim (always exactly in the direction I wanted it)</p>

3

<p>I can speak ten languages.</p>

4

<p>Well if languages count, I guess I could consider myself proficient in Korean.
:)</p>

5

<p>p-izzle: Are you serious?</p>

6

<p>Speaking Korean, chinese, or any other asian language is utterly beneficial. Going to Korea is like going to a COMPLETELY diverse world with different moral values, tradition, honor, its quite enjoyable. Not to mention, the school system is much more stressed with 8 courses a day, and every subject is combinded in the ‘‘SAT’’ there. Making new friends, and comprehending thier perspective on America and quite interesting views. It was a blast when I went to visit my relatives, haha.</p>

<p>@ yeahallie,</p>

<p>I can speak fluently in English, Sign Language, Polish, French, German, Spanish, Latin, Russian, Italian, and greek. </p>

<p>I learned 6 of them when i was a young kid…knowing I used to live in Europe.</p>

8

<p>I am in the top singing group at my school (it meets during 0 period, very selective chamber choir made up of 18 people).</p>

<p>I’ve been singing for 9 years and doing Musical Theatre for 7. Last year I was an Understudy in our musical (An honor as our musicals are again very selective) and hopefully I’ll get a lead this year.</p>

<p>Im a second degree black belt in two styles of kung-fu
Best in region, about a 75 mile radius, in alto sax
Play Alto,Tenor,Baritone,Soprano Sax, piano, guitar, flute, alto bass and regular clarinet, trumpet and sing
I’m also a physical science technician (scientist at 16!) with the USGS, United States Geological Survey</p>

<p>I have a few…</p>

<p>Languages - English, Spanish, and Japanese at very fluent level.
Math - Calc II (AP Calc BC) at age 13.

TV Journalism.</p>

11

<p>I’m a good weasel :)</p>

12

<p>AP Calc at 13 is outrageously amazing.</p>

13

<p>I’m a good writer. Mostly poetry, some song lyrics, some vignettes.</p>

<p>I can speak Russian, though it could definitely use some work.</p>

<p>And this is completely unimportant, but I have an amazing memory for dates.</p>

14

<p>I’m a crazy good guesser. (a.k.a. consistent luck)</p>

<p>I can improvise on the piano for hours, and quite well.</p>

15

<p>Like, teenage_cliche, I am also a good writer. Though I am not fluent in any language other than English, I have an ease for understanding words and langauge in general. I can spell very well, though not like those crazy kids that compete in spelling bees.</p>

<p>I am also very diplomatic and have a knack for finding middle ground in almost any situation.</p>

16

<p>I’ve ascended [illiterate</a> atheists](<a href=“http://alt.org/nethack/chardump/Averin/Averin.20071017-025501.txt]illiterate”>http://alt.org/nethack/chardump/Averin/Averin.20071017-025501.txt) in NetHack. This was probably the crowning achievement of my entire life. I’m working on a foodless wizard, but no luck yet (especially since midterms mean I haven’t had much time to play).</p>

<p>(I also took algebra at age 6 [+ other academic accomplishments]. But that’s comparatively meaningless.)</p>

17

<p>I wish I could sing well.</p>

<p>I have good grammar.</p>

<p>I got a 670 on the W section of the SAT at age 14.</p>

<p>I totally disproved Ayn Rand’s theory.</p>

18

<p>Ayn Rand is [url=<a href=“http://www.facade.com/celebrity/photo/Ayn_Rand.jpg]hot[/url”>http://www.facade.com/celebrity/photo/Ayn_Rand.jpg]hot[/url</a>].</p>

<p>I have perfected the “hitting only the gray tiles on the checkered gray-and-white school floor” run.</p>

<p>I can connect everything back to Heroes. Everything.</p>
