Well, I'm pretty smart school-wise (specifically math)...I've honestly never had a problem with it at all, until this year struggling with Physics and stuff. On a lighter note, I consider myself extremely skilled at frisbee...that's not really a big deal or anything, but for some reason I'm always extremely entertained while playing it.
Another thing I've always noticed, but didn't
really realize til last summer, was that I'm good with kids. I was working as a counselor at a day camp for 1st-3rd graders, and I was surprised at how much the kids liked me over the course of 4 weeks. It got to the point where I had to wrestle some of the kids off of me so that they coud get to their activities.

Um, I'm also good at memory. Most times I can be kind of indifferent, but given the right incentive I can go out of my way to do something. My freshman year of high school, our French teacher gave us these poems in French to memorize as a grade...being the smart-ass that I was (or am, depending on who you talk to
) I asked if we could get extra credit by memorizing it backwards. He proceeded to yell at me for wanting to do something I wouldn't be able to do, so I went home and memorized it backwards in a few minutes. I was thoroughly satisfied the next day when I saw his jaw drop in awe. That was my old French Teacher...unfortunately I now have a complete idiot as a French teacher.
