Daily Assignment #2

Mrs. Gunther talked about talents today. We were asked to define what talented really means, to us. I said talent is just anything we are capable of doing. No matter how many other people can do it too, if you can do it, it's a talent of yours. So we were asked to list a few of our talents. I decided to write down "studying", "painting nails", and I think I put down "playing bass clarinet" but I'm not sure. Then we talked about something called "talentwarp". Talentwarp is when we think talents are only limited to extraordinary things, and so we end up believing we don't have any talents. I think I have talentwarp, because it's really hard for me to find any talent within myself. I didn't really know there was a name for people like me who have this big attached meaning to the word "talent" so that they think they're not talented.
