Matrix Talent

I guess the talent I would have would be to have the social skills to blend in and make friends anywhere I go. You might ask why I would want such a simple talent, because I could just learn them right? The answer is because I grew up with an older generation so heard a lot about ‘back in the day’ that I didn’t really learn about the social skills of my generation. It may appear that there’s not a difference, but there is a big difference. What I look at as nice to people others see it as being walked all over. I see a big difference between what I was told and what I’ve seen.

If I could have learned this talent when I was ‘knee high to a grasshopper’ (younger), then I would not have felt so isolated - see I never really fit in with any crowds. I choose to feel isolated because I wasn’t good at sports, talking to people and stuff like that. I fit in more with teachers than the students. This is why I think that being put in the group home is not such a bad thing because I have learned so many social skills since I’ve been here. Also I love Summit because it has brought people into my life that has helped me with my social skills. Those are the reasons why I would want the talent of social skills.

I know you can learn this with out going in to the matrix. I have seen you come along ways with this and get kicked down and keep moving on. Keep up the good work and you will be out soon brother man.
