My skills and strengths is that I like socializing with people and getting to know who they are. I am also organized and committed to anything I am involved in such as, activities, sports, and work.

2. Discuss at least three interesting things/or things you learned from class. What made these things interesting?

The second interesting thing I learn is to pay attention how a person acts before they do something. For example, the video I was shown in class is where a guy is stealing toilet paper; he acted nervous and kept looking around to see if anyone was watching him. I find this interesting because many people do get nervous and panic before they steal since they know it is wrong. Lastly, I learned that when someone gets pulled over and they have someone else in the car, the other person has the right to not say anything. I find this interesting because on most TV shows I see police officers questioning all the people in the car.
