Do you have a talent or something you are good at?
Interesting question… It’s not something I’ve really ever thought about before. However, if I had to mention a talent, I’d probably say dancing. I’ve always had quite a good sense of rhythm and I can pick up new dance moves quickly. It’s not like I dance a lot, but I do enjoy it and I think it’s something that I’m naturally good at.
