At the beginning it was hard because I was kind of depending on others. I don't like to depend on other, but as I started to look what was happening, I developed the capacity to observe my surroundings. Every year, I am adding more experience to my talent. I know that this will help me in the career that I want to do. My second talent is to multitask. I'm able to focus on two things at the same time.
