Rationale
I think my biggest strengths with regard to this form are definitely my ability to handle all kinds of
personalities and also my ability to be flexible and able to adapt to changing situations. If you refer to my
resume you will see multiple experiences in sports, teaching, and broadcasting where I have developed
these skills. Skills that translate seamlessly into the classroom. My experience might be the most
valuable asset that I have going forward into the classroom.
