What skills do you have?
Provide the amount of experience and level of each skill you identify.
Identify how you have used each skill you identify.
Think critically about how your hobbies and extracurricular activities have enhanced your skills (step/basketball/soccer = productive collaboration / work well with others)

Over the last four years, I have improved a large portion of my available skill set. I have improved my reading aloud skills since 9th grade, since I now feel more comfortable about it. Being able to finish work on my own without assistance. Totally dominating in Call of Duty since number 2 came out.I have also been very handy with computers being able to know how to use many programs on both mac and windows. In sports my skills have not really improved since the only real time to polish them up is after school at electives or during lunch.

Hello everyone, my name is devante, but everyone seems to call me tay or winston for a reason I'm not even sure of. I'm an avid supporter of the call of duty franchise ever since 2. when Im not doing homework you can catch me playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 1 & 2. I also enjoy playing sports and reading irregular literature. I go to school at Envision Academy. I would have to say my favorite class is DMA for multiple reasons. My philosophy on life is be out of the ordinary, and make everything a challenge. Something I recently discovered I liked but I'm mot proud of is the show Adventure time.

Fourth Wall:
The fourth wall refers to the imaginary "wall" at the front of the stage in a traditional three-walled box set theatre, through which the audience sees the action in the world of the play. The presence of the fourth wall is an established convention of fiction and drama, which has led some artists to draw direct attention to it for dramatic or comedic effect. When this boundary is "broken", for example by an actor onstage speaking to the audience directly, or doing the same through the camera in a film or television program, it is called "breaking the fourth wall."

jerry broke the fourth wall when he left the sreen after insulting the show.
