The talent that i’m proud of is the fact that I could rollerskate, because roller skating is very confusing and sometimes you have to have really good balance to even be able to stand on roller skates. When I first tried roller skating, I fell multiple times but after practicing for years I just went outside and starting rollerskating. The process isn’t fast but it also isn’t slow, it’s a minimum of both so when you are rollerskating for the first time, make sure it isn’t bumpy or a steep road becuase of the injury you might get, but either way once you study how to roller skate on a good platform now you have to learn how to roller skate on steep and bumby roads because you never know when the difficuly rises. Roller skating is a tough but fun talent to learn, and I was very glad to share this talent with all of you, even though there are a lot of limitations to learning to skate, you can still learn how to fulfill the purpose of this transportation.
I agree with you because roller skating is hard for me and some people can’t roller skate.
I agree with you because it takes a lot of time to learn how to roller skate and a lot of balance.
I agree with you because rollerskating is really easy because it is just one leg in front of the other.

One of my favorite talents is the way that I can play rhythm games. Rhythm games often require a fast reaction time that varies on the difficulty which is something that I enjoy.

These games also often have a story or lore hidden behind him, which is also one of the many joys that I have with rhythm games. Playing these kind of games for over 3 years lead to me having a skill and what I consider a talent in fast-paced games.
