It's not like i don't want to show this but i didn't had the chance yet. I can repair cellphones, at least in theory, thought i've never done one before.

I took a cell phone repair course because my mom motivated me, and I have the tools, but I can't repair someone else's phone because I don't have the money for spare parts and I risk breaking someone else's phone. I should buy the module for my old cell phone and replace it to start practicing.

Also as an extra, i used to be a speedcuber, i've reached to 35 seconds of average and 20 seconds in a very lucky run i think, but at some point i got stuck and i couldn't understand the most advanced techniques
 
For some reason people keep insisting I’m a really good writer even though I’ve done nothing to prove to myself I believe that statement. I can’t say I’m completely terrible, though. I struggle to remember what the worst grade I’ve ever gotten on an essay or any other kind of paper is, and on the creative side of things I’ve worked a decent bit on character concepts though I’ve never wanted to actually illustrate any of them because I have no desire to practice art. Character art, I should say. I feel like I’d be good at environmental artwork but that’s about it.
 
My communication skills because it’s something I had to grow into but it was probably always dormant. Being able to confidently speak when I use to be hesitant to do so. My communication skills grown so much I was able to land myself my current job at a mock interview event one of three students to do so. My classmate also told me I have the “gift of gab” which I was flattered when they told me that lol. Most importantly being able to effectively communicate with my students.
 
I am a scuba diver. I didnt think it was very impressive, but then I realized literally none of my friends outside of scuba would do it. I feel their conceptualization of scuba is really skewed but it sure did make me feel proud that I do stuff twice a month that most people are too scared to do.

My elocution skills are rather good.
I used to struggle to get my points across, because of poor diction and being overly exhaustive when providing arguments to support my ideas. That made talks and presentations at school, and later on job interviews, a lot more stressful to me.

Reading out loud in my spare time was very helpful to improve my speech, not only in terms of pronunciation, but the pace at which I speak as well. Instead of trying to talk too fast for my own good and stumbling upon my words, I've found a better rhythm that allows me to speak clearly.

I was also able to make my arguments more succinct when I realised that one well-supported idea could be significantly more memorable to those who listen to me, than multiple ideas that I have to gloss over because it'd take too long to justify them all properly.

Even though there's still plenty of room for improvement, I'm glad I managed to become more eloquent when I thought I'd never figure out how to do that.
 
(Short lil side remark before my answer)

My Mom: an artist that did every form of art from paper mache to painting, ran art guilds did news letters
My Dad: carpenter could make anything (even worked on Jerry Seinfelds house when I was a baby)

Me: A poet, I dont wanna wait for paint to dry or glue to set to build more on my creation
Words are my art.

I'm not an arrognt soul but I do know I write really well. I've had people ask to publish me even if just in like outlets like local newspapers and i'm too shy/feels too personal what I write about but I def have some I know would work. Esp the one I did about politics not long ago lol.
