Break Dancer

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-897986450145641768&hl=en

What is talent? Is artistic, musical, athletic, or academic talent most important? Who do you consider to be talented? Do you have any special talents? Which talents do you wish for? Do you consider the dancer in this video talented?

Wow, this video was awesome!!! This talent is break dancing. I think academic talent is most important because without knowing things you can't really get a job or anything like that. But other talents are important too, because if all you ever did was study all the time, it could be really stressful. But when you have other things in your life it keeps life fun and relaxing. I consider a lot of people talented and not just people on TV or on the radio. I think my mom is pretty talented because she works her job, goes to school two nights a week and takes all her other classes online, and still finds her time for me and my little sister. Its not everyday she takes us to the mall or bakes us cookies, but she does it pretty often. I really don't have any special talents. I can sing pretty well, but lots of people can do that. I'm fairly good at soccer and gymnastics. I wish I could have a cool talent like playing the guitar or drawing. I've always wanted to learn to draw or paint, but I guess its something you have to be born with. I've also always wanted to play an instrument, such as the guitar. I think it'd be cool to write all my own songs and be really creative. I consider the dancer in the video VERY talented. It must've have taken a lot of practice and hard work to be able to master those moves!!

Talent is a natural ability or skill. If I were to describe this video in one word it would be, wow! The people in this video are very talented. There talent is break dancing. A think that everyone is born with talent, but the just have to find what it is. I think academic talent is most important. I think my cousin, Brittney, is very talented. She’s been golfing since she was 7 years old and now she is 19. She also has a scholarship. I don’t know how she gulfs so well. I’m not sure what my talents are. I’m very limber and sort of good in gymnastics. I’m also very creative, I doodle a lot. But other than that I don't have a clue. At this time right now I really can't think of what talent I wish I could have. Yes, I defiantly consider the dancers in this video talented. This has to take years and years of practice.

Talent is what your are good at like, painting, ventriloquism, or playing a musical instrument. I'd say they all are in some fields, like academic for school, artistic for art claas or if you want to be an artist, like what I want to be, musical if you want to be a singer or composer, athletic for major sports, and so on. I have instrument playing and drawing. I want to make puppets or dummies for future ventriloquists. Yes, I wish I could dance like that! It may have tooken him well over five years to learn how to dance....but I'm no good in math ^^'

This video was pretty cool!Break dancing is so cool to watch its so fast and it takes alot of strenght.I think acedemic talent is the best talent you could ahve because if you have no knowledge you will get no where in life because you know nothing.I consider everyone talented becuase everyone has something that they are good at and thrive at.My talents would ahve to be cheerleading,gymnastics,and drawing sometimes.I wish I could ahve a talent at drawing where im just so good its unbeilevable!Alls i can say about break dancing would be that it would take a long time and alot of strenght for those moves!Cheyenne Shirkey 7th period

I think talent is the natural ability to do or achieve something. i think academic talent is most important. You may think something is hard but talent is also being able to achieve something. I consider a lot of people talented. Jenny is a talented singer, Fletcher is good at soccer, Paitan is great at gymnastics,my brother is really good in math, but a lot of my friends are really talented. I am good at most sports and I am pretty smart but those are natural compared to my brother. I was born so that most sports come easily but he has to work for what he wants to accomplish so that is another reason why I think talent is something you can achieve. I wish for the talent of not being so clumsy because I always fall I would definitely consider the person in this video to be talented.

Talent is when you are really good at something.Any type of talent that a person uses to be a positive influence on society would be the most important.There are many people that are talented in music or art and have used their talent to help others by having a concert and raising money that helps fund a cause to find a cure for cancer or another disease. It really doesn't really have to be one talent that is most important as long as people use their talents to do good.
I think that Al Gore is very talented because he won the Noble Peace Prize for raising awareness about global warming. I have a special talent in soccer and dance.Dance is one of my talents because I can dance on point and I have been dancing for several years.The reason I am talented at soccer is because I have trained and played travel soccer. I wish I had a talent for being very smart. I'm smart but I wish that things would come easier to me.I think the dancer is very talented! He has a special ability,and very strong arms to push himself up and down his feet in the air just with one arm.

Talent is something that you're good at that you're BORN good at. Talent is when you've been able to do something really well that you've been able to do well forever, but you might not have known it. Some people may think "If you say you need to be born with the talent, then that dancers not talented he learned to break dance" but you need to have rhythm to dance at all and you can't learn how to be rhythmic. My special talents would be being musically enhanced (guitar, saxophone, voice) writing and sports. The talent that I'd most love to have the talent of drawing (I still draw people like stick figures) I do think the break dancer in this video is talented.

This video was so cool!! Talent is something special that you can do that someone else might not be able to do. Academic talent is definitely most important because you will not get anywhere in life unless you have a good academic talent. But I also think that those other talents are good because if you fail at something then you will always have something to do instead just in case. And it's awesome to have many talents. For instance, I can do cheerleading and gymnastics very well, but I can also play some instruments fairly well. I can also dance well(when I want to.) The dancer in this video was extremely talented!!! I know I can't dance as well as him, but barely anyone can. I really liked this video because it showed how talented people can be if they really try and work for it.

Talent is something that you are born with or something that you work on to improve yourself. I thing that artistic and musical talent is very important to me. I love to draw and I feel that I'm very good at drawing, painting and sketching. I have been doing this from a very early age. To me when I don't know how to do something, I draw or paint it. Then I understand it much better. I also think I have musical ability. I can play the piano and clarinet. I would like to play the drums someday. I do wish that I had the academic talent that my brother has for his school work. He can just look at something, and he understands the information. He is now in high school and is making all A's in his subjects. He doesn't even really have to work at it. I think that the dancers in this video are very talented. They must have to practice very hard and for long periods of time. Their upper body strength is outstanding. That is very hard to do!

Talent is when someone is very very good at something they like to do. You can be talented at anything. There are many people also that are talented at more than one thing. For example someone has talent for basketball could have talent for singing to. I love basketball and I am pretty good at it. If I would have a talent that I wished for it would to be good at volleyball. The dancer in this video was very talented because not very many people could do something like that.

A talent is having the ability to do something well. Some people think a talent is a gift. Others think you have to work hard to obtain your talent.
In my opinion the talent that is most important is academic. By having this talent you have the intelligence to do and become whatever you desire. In being smart you could choose any career you think you would enjoy or ever change careers and try new jobs and experiences. This would lead to making more money.
Vince Carter is my favorite NBA basketball player. He has a special talent for playing the sport of basketball. I’m sure he did a lot of work and practice to obtain this talent. But he has the skill it takes to be one of the best athletes in the NBA.
Yes I think I have special talents. I am a good soccer player. By being quick, and skilled the last two years I scored the most goals on my teams. I think I am also a good basketball player. Every year I have played I led my team in scoring and I am a team player trying to let everyone be involved on the floor.
I wish for the talent to be smarter and wiser. This would help me not to have to study so much. I could make straight A’s and not have to worry about tests and projects. I would know I could make the good grades. That would relieve stress and worry.
The man in the video was an amazing break dancer. You have to be strong to do that and he has strength. I think this man has a talent for that type of dancing and athletic ability to do the moves he was able to dance.

I believe that talent is something that is a gift from birth.I also think that artistic,musical,athletic,and academic talents are very improtant.Some people have artistic talents that can help you later on in life.Some other people have musical talents that can get you father on in life, like you can be a famous singer,a music producer,or a background singer.Alot of people have athletic talents, like some people can do push-ups with one finger.One person that I consider talented is my favorite singer Chirs Brown.I believe he has it all,he can dance,sing,and also he acts in movies such as "Stomp The Yard".I do have a couple of special talents.Some people say that I can sing very well,but I believe that I can dance better then I can sing.One talent that I wish for would be to be more athletic.I think the dancer in the video was Amazing!!!!!He danced so well.I would love to dance like that.He was one of the most amzing dancers I have ever saw in my life.

Wow, this video is so cool. The talent of that guy dancing is so good. Talent is a special natural ability or aptitude. I think that athletic and academic talent is the most inportant talents to have. I think that anyone who does good in school or in sports is talented. My talents are doing good in school and playing sports. I think that the talents I would want to have would probably have to be to have better academic talent, social talent, and athletic talent. I consider the dancer in this video very very very talented. I mean do you know anyone who can do that? NO

A talent is having the ability to do something natrualy and be good at it all at the same time.I think be athletic is the most important because you can be strong and not be overweight.I think my brother ,Ryan, is the most talented because he is so flexible and he can do these flips that I have never even seen before.I have many talents but most of them fall under basketball.The talent I have always wish for is to be able to break dance.He is way talented but he practiced it at it alot because he had passion for it.

Talent is when you are good at something and your proud of it. Acedemic because school gets you farther in life. i consider being talented like doing something that you are proud of. My special talent is swimming. I am like im the top 5th in the state. I dont really wish for any talents. Yea the person in this video is very talented i would never be able to do that ever in my life.

W-O-W... That waw the best blog we've had to do yet! This guy was really talented and I'll bet he had to work really, really hard to get as good as he is now. I think talent is when you are really good at something, wheather you've been working on it for a while or if it comes naturally. I think that no talent is more important than the other. I think that (and this is NOT bragging for her...)that Tori, one of my best friends, is really talented. She is a really great artist, and I envy her. I wish I could draw better, I couln't draw anything other than anime to save my life.
And HECK yeah, this guy is WAAAAY talented!

Wow!!!!! This video was way cool! Talent to meis something that you are exceptionally talented at or you have a natural ability to do something. To me academic talent is most important. This is most important to me because I don't have a natural talent for sports so I must be good at something else right? Well it just happens that school comes easy to me so that is my talent. Man if anyone is talented it has got to be the guy in this video I mean did you see those push-ups at the end that is nearly impossible! Not anything out of the ordinary except i can make a Chewbacca sound and a chicken noise. HAHAHA!!! I don't wish for talents I am who I am and if I don't have anything that special about me then i want to be that way. Yeh I explained that earlier in my paragragh.

Talent is something that someone has or does that is unique or unoriginal.

There is all kinds of different talent. Academic talent is most important in all these talents because, you need some. academic talent to have good grades or be in advanced classes. Any sport talent is also good because you have to have exercise and that is good exercise.

I consider Madison Hoke to be very talented in dancing. I also think MacKenzie Kline is talented in gymnastics.

I have no special talent. I wish I did but, I don't.

I think that it is very talented. I can not do a push-up without my legs on the ground. Noone I know can do that.

OMG!!!! =] I like LOVE this video! It's like soooo cool! (= It's amazing!!! Talent is basically the natural abilities of a person, or a special often athletic, creative, or artistic ability. I know lots of people with talent. Actually, everyone has talent somewhere deep down inside of them. My mom, is VERY artistic. I wish I could do some of the things she can! My special talent is cheerleading! =] I am very good because of lots of practice! ;] I have also taken gymnastics since I was like 2 years old!♥ I am also very good at typing, which that is from MYSPACE! Haha! ;) But yes myspace has made my typing skills really good! A skill that I wish I had is to be able to ice skate. It looks really fun and challenging. That is the type of things that I like! (: I think in many ways, althletic, academic, artistics, and musical talents are equally important. They all can get you far in life. Oh and HECK YEAH the dancer in the video is very, very, very talented! ;)

I think the video was awesome. Talent is something that you were born with, but you also have to work at it to be good. I think that academic talent is the most important. Not everyone can be great at a sports, music, or arts but you can work hard and be good in school. I think that hard work at school can get you the job that you want. I think my talent would be running cross country or maybe golfing. If I could have one talent I would like to be a great professional golfer. I think the break dancer was very talented.

Talent is something you are good at that comes natural to you. Everyone has something they can do. I feel academic talent is most important. You need this to be successful in life. It is nice to have another talent. People find you very interesting when you can do something most people can not. I consider people who work hard at their jobs to be talented. There are many different jobs, people do different things. One person is better at one job, while another person is good at some otherjob. I also feel that sports players are talented. Not everyone is good at the same sport. I love to watch people dance. That is so interesting to me. Dancing is an amazing talent to have. I think my talent would be in soccer. I love to play and I put my heart into it. I wish I could have a talent where school came easy for me. I have to study very hard to get good grades. I do consider the dancer in the video to be extremely talented. He has to be able to hold his body up off the ground and still move. I think it is a gift.

Talent is a marked innate ability, as for artistic accomplishment. I think that athletic is most important because you have skills that are mostly like swimming, soccer, basketball, cross country, track, and baseball. I considered to be talented because I do a lot of sports like gymnastics, use to play soccer, swimming
track, cheerleading, and tennis. I have a special talent swimming. I do like the 100 free.That is four laps.I have won a whole lot of medals that are mostly blue because I never let myself down. Yes, I consider the dancer talented because of all the moves especially the push-ups that he was doing they were incredible. Also the person beside him was very talented.I liked the one when they were crawling like babies on the ground;that was funny.

I thougt the video was very interesting. You would have to be very strong, talented, and ballanced. I would never be able to do that. I am very ballanced and very flexable but I couldn't do that if I tried. The one talent I wish I had is probably perfect hand eye cordination. I beleive the person I find talented is Jacob Richards. He can play multiple musical instraments and he can run.

Talent is simply anything you are good at, and enjoy doing. Neither musical, artistic, athletic, nor academic talent is more important. Everyone has a talent, and everyone’s talent is important. I consider Angela Denis to be talented. She is a friend, and my dance teacher. As an artist she has amazing ideas, and is good with people.

My special talent is dancing. I do modern, lyrical, pointe, ballet, and jazz dancing. I love it so much, and it is what I plan to do as an adult.

The dancer in this video is very talented. In order to do break -dancing you have to be strong, and dedicated. I’m sure that break-dancing is very hard.

Awesome, that guy really had some skills.I know I couldn't of done any of that stuff he did if I could do some of that it would take me forever to learn.My talent is I'm a basketball player my team won 3 years in a row frist as watson blue then as dunbar black.I'm a really good singer and I sing all the time even in the shower .When I was 5 I was in gymnastics an won first place 2 years in a row I can still do every thing I could back then.Right now I'm taking Karta and I am a yellow belt right now and I'm trying to get my black belt these are all my talents.

Unknown said...

Talent is when you do well in performing a task or activity. I believe that all these talents are equally important to one another. They are all different and all make differences in the world. If I had to pick which talent was most important, it would have to be academic talent, because it changes and develops the world instead of being more for entertainment purposes. I believe that everyone has some type of talent. Therefore, I believe that everyone is talented. I do think I have talents. I play guitar and saxophone, I run cross country and I generally do well in school. I wish I could type faster and I wish I was better at other sports. The dancer in this video is extremely talented. Not many people could ever do what he does and he made it exciting and enjoyable to watch.

Talent is when you achieve in a certain skill; say you're good at basketball, that'd be your talent. I think the talent most important would have to be academic. If you are talented in academics, then you will have a high chance of getting a very good job in the future. If I have any special talents, then I do not know about them. I think I would like to have artistic skills. I consider the dancer in this video to be very talented because not many people are able to do those kinds of dance moves. It had to have taken ALOT of practice.

A talent is something that a person can do well. If you are talented at a certain thing, you are usually one of the best. Most of the time things come naturally to a talented person. I think that everyone has a certain talent. Maybe it is just something that you grow up liking. It is when a person is creative in their talent. They also train and practice very hard.
I feel that academic talent is the most important. If you have a good education you can usually be somewhat good at the other talents mentioned. I do look at other people that have different abilities, and realize that we are all different. Something can come very easily to me, that would be really difficult for someone else, but they can do something really well, and I couldn’t do it at all.

Two athletes that are really talented are Dwayne Wade and Lance Armstrong. They have physical abilities that are unbelievable! I know that they practice a lot too. Even though people are talented, they still have to practice and have abilities and drive to do well. I also think that a musician like Billy Joel is really talented. He is a great singer, song writer and piano player. I like to listen to his music. I know that he has to practice a lot, but he also has natural ability. He is very imaginative and creative.

I like to draw and create houses and buildings. I have always liked to build things. I do believe that I have a talent in creating new drawings of buildings and houses. Maybe someday I will be an architect. I will draw many blueprints and drawings, and try to have the most creative ideas. I wish I had a lot of creative ideas that no one else would think about. I wish I could have my own architecture firm, and make a ton of money.

The dancer in the video is extremely talented. They probably have a love for music and have good rhythm. I know that the dancer would have to train very hard every day. They would try new moves and steps to stay unique. When you are in competitions like that, there are many other people that are also talented. That dancer would always have to be changing and working out.

Talent is a skill that you or others have that makes unique. I think a combination of all is very important. I can’t say any of them are better than others because I would like to be artistic because most artistic people have different views and more interesting was of thinking. Musical is very important, too. It is like artistic. Athletic is super-duper important! I think it is important because all people should be active to keep them healthy and help the prevent obesity. And academic should be considered important to all people because knowledge and degrees can get you very far in life. I’m not sure anything that falls under those four categories of artistic, musical, athletic, and academic. Well, I think I am a pretty good artist and I am not half bad at soccer, but I have a lot even though they may not be useful or unique I still have them. I wish I had a talent that could help me in many ways that fall under all of those categories. I consider him very, very, very talented! I mean think about all the upper body strength that guy must have to do that!!

I think talent is a skill you are naturally gifted at. Out of all of those talents, i don’t think there is one specific talent that overthrows the rest. It depends on where you are form and your cultural background. To be considered talented, you have to be very your own. You can’t consider staring a talent because anybody can do it too. I have a special talent. I warm up my muscles before soccer games by laying my top part of my knee on the ground and bending it sort of backwards and up. I can also touch my tongue to my nose, but a lot of people can do that. I wish I had the talent to be able to curl my tongue because everybody around me can but I don’t have the ability to. I would consider the dance very talented because I have never seen somebody dance that way before.

This video was rad! This talent was dance, it took alot of uper body stregnth for him to do those moves, OUCH. I consider this talent because to have talent you have to work hard at something untill you can do it better than most people, I've seen breakdancers in our school and on videos, but not as great as this one. He was amazing, the uper body stregnth he had was overwellming. I think that athletic talent is the most important because talent should involve fun, it should be something you can do better than everyone else and should be cosidered fun to you. Athletic talent is very fun.


I consider people like, hm, Mrs. Constable to have talent,=], she has talent in making people happy even when they are in school learning. She finds fun ways of doing work and understands what children go through at school everyday so she teaches us in fun ways that still allow us to learn. She's the best teacher in this entire WORLD =]. Now that is talent.

Do I have any talent, hmmm. I suppose if you consider wiggleing your ears talent, lol.
Or what about basketball and Lacrosse, I love those sports and im pretty good at both of them. Making people happy is my favorite talent, I dislike hurting people and always want to make their days just a little better, so i try and make them laugh or smile. I dont know if you consider that a talent or not.


The talent i wish for is to be awesome at singing and playing guitar i guess. I really like singing and playing guitar, im not the best at it though, I'm working on it =].

Yes, the dancer in this video was very talented, he must have had lots of training and working out to get to where he is today. He also looked like he loved doing it, he wouldn't be out there if he didn't. He probably spent years practicing and training himself or being trained to breakdance and have balance and things.

This video was very cool. The dancing was awesome and looked really hard to do.
Talent is any natural ability that you can do or something you are good at. I think that everybody has a talent but some just don’t know what it is. Some people’s talents are very crazy or calm and I think that their talents somehow describe how they and how they act. Talent can be good and bad and even funny because it depends what your talent is, like if you are good at stealing/shoplifting or singing or juggling. I think that academic talent is most important. If we don’t learn we wouldn’t have as many advancements if life and if we don’t think, how would we do our talent because we have to think in order to do something. I consider everybody to be talented because we all do something that we think is unique. We all can do something that you think is cool or unique or good at but if you haven’t found anything that you think is your talent you just have to keep trying. I think that my talents are being okay at sports and being kind of smart and being me. I also have other talentsm, I guess, but they are toooooooo hard for me to explain unless I show you. Another talent is being creative and not so coordinated. I wish I could sing better because then my sister won’t yell at me to stop singing because I sing bad but most of the time I sing bad just to get on my sister’s nerves( I think it’s kind of funny). I also wish I could be more coordinated as a talent because I run into a lot of things and trip out of nowhere. I consider the dancer in the video to be talented. He can dance very well and dose really cool moves that look like a lot of work in order to learn.

Talent is a gift of ability that comes naturally to a person. You can practice to make your natural talent better. Not one talent is the most important, but it is the one that you have or enjoy the most that makes it important to you. Some people may consider musical talent the most important to them because it's what they like, but it is not the most important to others. On the other hand, some people have natural talents that they may not necessarily enjoy at all.
I consider Criss Angel a talented illusionist and I think Alex Rodriquez is a talented baseball player. Of course, these are famous people, but many everyday people are talented too. You could be a talented bowler, hairdresser, artist, etc.
I think that I have a couple of talents. I can make all kinds of balloon animals, I can do magic tricks and I can really spin a basketball on one finger. I consider these talents because I learned to do them so easily. I took dance lessons for a couple of years and the teacher said that I was very good at it, but I didn't enjoy it, so I don't take lessons any more. I wish I was academically talented that way I could learn more quickly and get really good grades. I consider the dancer in this video very talented. It takes a lot of strength and skill to do the moves he did and made it look so easy. He is probably a naturally good dancer, but practices to continue to improve his talent.

Talent is a special thing that you are good at. Talent could be anything, such as dancing, singing, or anything else that not everyone else can do as good as you.

I think that artistic, musical, athletic, and academic talent are all of equal importance. You need to have all of these to be very successful in life.

If I see someone doing something that makes me say, "Wow! I wish I could do that!" they are what I call talented. Everyone has a special talent, although you may not find it until a later point in life.

I have a few talents. I am a talented long-distance runner in track and cross country. I also can cross a soccer ball to the forwards to the top of the 18 yard box (soccer terms for people who didn't know [:). I guess you could say that I was talented.

If I could wish for talents, I would wish to be able to remember a little bit better. I am always forgetting stuff! I would also ask to be better at sports. I love to play different sports, but at some I'm not really that good.:[

I consider this dancer very talented. It takes a lot of practice and upper-body strength to be able to do those moves. You also must be very dedicated to whatever you are trying to do.

Talent is a skill you are good at and you are always working at it to get better because you enjoy doing it. I think every talent is important because what ever you’re best at is the most important to you. The one most important to me is athletic and academic because I play a lot of sports and make good grades. I don’t really have any special talents. If I could have any special talent, it would be to break dance. I would like to break dance because you need strength and different skills to do it. Also, it looks like it would be a lot of fun. Yes, I think the dancer in this video is very talented. I think the dancer is talented because you need a lot of strength and skills to perform like he did. It takes a lot of practice and devotion to break dance, especially how talented he was at it.

I think of talent as any ability. In my opinion, their isnt a talent that is better than any other. Your talent could be math, science, swimming,dancing, singing, etc. We are all talented in different ways. One of my talents is swimming. I orignally started swimming to get rid of my asthama, but people encouraged me to keep swimming because i was good at it. ( Maybe if i went to practice other than every 3 months I'd get better ;] ) I also can be very creative when it comes to writing. I wish I had a talent that I could use with both of these. The dancer in this video is very talented. I don't know many, or if any people that could do that. It must take alot of hard work and practice to dance like that.

This video was so cool =D!!!

Talent to me is a gift, that either comes natural or you work hard to get. In my opinion academic talent is the most important because to succeed and be successful in life, you have to have knowledge.

WOW! This is hard to answer because I have many people I think that are talented. I think the people in Cirque du Soleil are extremely talent and SO awesome and entertaining to watch! I love all of their shows! I also think Celion Dion is extremely talented. She's a beautiful singer, I love her and wish I could sing like her. =D

I think I have many talents but I think my biggest one is soccer. I dedicate a lot of my time to it. A lot of people don't know this but me and my brother go to the stadium A LOT just to work on soccer. I also go to camps and take lessons over the summer. Soccer is defiantly a part of me and Im going to keep working hard to get better.

A talent that I wished I had was to be smarter, and that I wouldn't have to study so hard for test. Another one would to be an amazing and beautiful dancer. I love dancing and I am pretty good at it but I wish to be better. I have a passion for contemporary dance and I am starting to take it now. =]

Yes! It takes a lot of talent to do what he does. He has amazing talent to be able to lift himself of the ground with one arm and do all kinds of crazy stuff with his feet and legs.

A talent is a natural is a special natural ability. I think that artistic, musical, athletic, and academic talents are all very important. They can both get you far in life.

I consider Mary Lou Retton to be talented. She’s amazing at gymnastics and is a good role model. Maybe someday I would like to be like her.

My special talent is cheerleading. I absolutely love it. I love to tumble and yell. I love the excitement of competitions and I love spending time with my teammates. I have been cheering ever since I was 5 years old, which is 9 years. Cheerleading would defiantly be something that I would like to when I get older.

The dancer in this video is very talented. He has to be strong told hold himself up like that and do all of those moves. He also has to be dedicated and put a lot of work into what he does.

Wow! I thought this video was awsome. You have to have a lot of flexability and talent to do that kind of stuff. You also must be very strong. Talent is a skill or natural ability that you are pretty much born with. It takes a lot of time and practice to learn somthing like break dancing. I think that acadimic talent is most important because it can help you get excepted into more colleges and it may help you with getting the job that you want. But, Other talents are important also. I believe everyone has talents. Everyone has their own special talent. Well I love to play soccer so I guess you could call that a talent. Sometimes I wish that I could have a lot more talents. I would like to be an artist i think that would be pretty fun or maybe be really flexible. Oh yes, I consider the dancers in this video very talented. You can tell they have worked very hard to get the percise dance moves.

Talent is something that you naturally good at before you started to practice but talent will only take you so far. I think academic talent is the most important thing because once you are old and can’t play a sport you can still use your brain. Everyone is talented they just don’t get recognized because they might have an unusual talent. I don’t have any special talents but I am talented at basketball, baseball, soccer, and I’m pretty smart. The dancer is a little talented because he is flexible but he is also very strong which you can work out to become strong.

Talent is something that you are born well at or something that you are exceedingly good at when performing your talent. I think academic would be the most important because it probably would take you further in life then the others. I am not saying that other talents are not important because working and studying gets boring and it’s always nice to have something else to do at times. I consider myself talented because I can write very good fictional stories and I am a great gamer. I would also say I am talented in art but I don't spend too much time with art. I wish I could be talented in ventriloquism. I consider the dancer very talented because I am sure not many people are able to do that.

Talent is when you can do something that no one else can. It could also be something that is awesome or interesting. Artistic, musical, athletic, or academic is not the most important there is no talent that is most important if it is your own is the most important. I consider the most talented person is Jessica Simpson, because she is a great singer, roe model, and Proactive model. I do have a special talent I am a really good burber. The talent that I would wish for is that I could draw. I do consider this dancer in the the video to be talented because it takes a lot of stranth and practice to do that.

I think that talent is the ability to do something that is unique or special in some way. I feel that academic talent is most important because without academic talent you will go no where in life. I have some talents for example, i am a pretty good baseball player and i'm alright at guitar. I wish that I could break dance like in this movie. I do consider the dancer in this video is talented.

Debii K said...

Talent is something your naturally good at like singing, dancing, or drawing.

I think all of those talents are important. You don't neccisarily have to have acedimic talent to do good in school.

I think everyone is talented in their own way. Everyone has at least one thing their good at.

My friends and family tell me I'm a great singer. I'm not very confident, but slowly I'm begining to believe in myself. I'm also good at drawing and writing songs and stories. I'm currently working on a book.

Right now, I'm pretty happy with the talents I have. I can't really think of any other talents I'd want to have.

I think the dancer in this video are EXTREMELY talented. It takes alot of talent to be able to do what they do.

Talent is a special skill or ability you are best at. I think the most important talent is academic talent. Someone I consider to be talented is my older sister Katy. She is a real good singer and she was a waitress at Muriel’s for two years. I think I have two special talents. One of my special talents is using my imagination. My second special talent probably is that I am smart. A talent that I wish I could have is athletic talent, because I’m not too good at sports. I consider the dancer in the video to be very talented.

Unknown said...

Talent is something you are good at. You can be born with talent or you can work hard and become talented. The most important talent is academic because this can get the farthest in life. As far as special talents go I am a talented baseball player as well as being good at problem solving. If I could choose to have one talent it would be playing the guitar. The dancer in this video had some natural talent but my bet is that he had to practice for awhile to get that good.

Talent is, simply put, something you are good at. You might be able to draw a face in 5 minutes or run 10 miles without passing out. Everyone has some talent. You might be really bad at something, but I think there always has to be some kind of balance that gives you talent. I think all of the listed talents are equally important, though academic is a good one to have. Some of my talents are doing good in school (I have straight A's... Since kindergarten... So far.) I also like art, digital art, and I am trying to learn to computer program. I guess I am good at Astrojax too, but that's not really one I can brag about because not many people know what those are. One talent I wish I could have is any athletic ability or knowledge at all. I can't throw a football, let alone catch one, and it bores me to watch sports. I feel sort of separated from the group when they are all talking about a WVU or WFMS football game and I have no idea what's going on. I could go on for hours about myself, but I'll cut you a break and stop here.
I think the dancer in this video is very talented, probably the most in athletic ability. It would probably take years of practice, a lot of strength, and really good coordination to do this kind of thing. I know most people would never be able to. Here ends my comment, I hope it was worthy!

Talent in the dictionary means to have a special natural ability or aptitude. My opinion of the definition of talent is being good at something. I think academic talent is most important, because you need smarts to get a good job, go to college, and a lot of important things in life. Now artistic, athletic, and musical are important just not really as important as academic. I do consider my self talented; God gave me many gifts to portray to the world. For examples some of my talents would be; singing, acting, human video, soccer, and much more. If I could wish for a talent it would be to be a REALLY REALLY good singer. The break dancer in this video was very talented! What he does must take a lot of muscle, self discipline, and much more.

Talent is what you can do like if you are really good at computers, sports, boardgames, thinking, schoolwork, and basically anything else. What is most important depends on how you look at what you are trying to see. Who I consider to be talented is my dad who is very talented with computers. I have a special talent in soccer at being the best that I can be at just being myself in soccer and being really good at it. I wish for the talent at rememboring things cause I am absolutely terrible at it. Yes I consider the dancer in this video talented. (C.K.)

Talent is a special natural ability or aptitude.

I believe that academic talent is most important because it's what is going to carry you through your life. If you can't do math or read how are you going to get a job? or get in collage?
Sometimes if you're "talented" enough you can get a scholarship in other subjects.

I think star gymnysts,professional basketball, baseball, and football players are all talented.

I don't know if I have talent??

Im not sure if i have any special talents.

I wish to be as flexable as I used to be but im not sure if I will be.

I definately consider this dancer to be very talented. When he dances it looks sorta easy but he probably worked everyday all day on everything he did and how he is.

This video spoke to me in many ways. First, I got the feeling that this would take a lot of practice and skill. In order for someone to do this, either they must weigh very little, or they must have a powerful upper body. I would call this a talent, however unnatural it may be. This man is a talented break-dancer, and I feel that LeBron James is a talented basketball player. Break dancing is a truly remarkable feat to master, and those that have mastered it contain large amounts of talent. Some may think this is a sport, but others believe that it is an art of expression.

Talent to me is skill, expertise, and ability. Talent doesn't necessarily have to be natural, but in some cases, it is. I'm not really sure which talent is most important, but to me, I think that academic talent will get you furthest in life. For me, personally, I haven't found any specific talent yet, but hopefully, later in life, I will.

Obviously, this dancer is talented. Not everyone can dance like the performer in this video. I think it would be very fun to be able to break dance like him. This video was very fun to watch. (:

What is talent? Talent is something that you are good at doing. To me my academic comes first followed closely by athletic talent. I consider anything you are good at to be talent such as doing tricks on a bike or just being good at a sport.

I consider myself to have talents such as my soccer skills wish I was more in shape and was faster but its some thing I have to work on. Te talent in this video was cool and I wish I was built like that.

Kenny said...

Talent is a natural ability that a person has. Talent can also be learned. I think academic talent is the most important. A person has to have good grades and an education so that they can do well in their future. I think that athletic talent is also important, but you have to have academic talent (good grades) before you can play sports. I consider my dad and two uncles to be talented. They were the best football, basketball, and baseball players around in the late 1970’s. They were in the newspaper every week for their athletic talent and abilities. They won state championships every year that they played together. They were known as the best and most athletic brothers (the Underwood brothers). No, I don’t have any special talents. I’m good at some things, but I’m not GREAT at them. I would wish to be really good in school and to be even greater in sports. I consider the dancer in this video to be very talented. It was cool to watch him do all of the different moves. He must have practiced and worked hard at break dancing to become as good as he is.

Savannah (: said...

Talent is a special ability that you have naturally. You don’t have to strive as hard as others to be good at something you are talented in. You can always improve, but usually do not have to work as hard as everyone else.
Artistic, musical, athletic, and academic talents are all very important and valued in our society. Different people will have different opinions on which type of talent they value most. An artist would value artistic talent, but a scientist or doctor may value academic talent more. I think that whatever your natural talent is, that is where you should set the highest goals.

I consider many people to be talented. In the artistic field, I consider Andy Warhol to be talented, while in the musical field I consider Beethoven and Mariah Carey talented. I acknowledge Mia Hamm, Shaquille O’Neal, and Steve Slaton talented athletes. Bill Gates excels in academics and business. Albert Einstein and Elizabeth Dole are other intellectual and academically gifted people.

I am lucky to have been born with natural talents. I’m musically talented as well as academically talented. With music, I pick up notes easily, learned to read music early and have a good singing voice. I also have never had to work as hard as some of my peers to make good grades. I am a fast learner, once things are explained. I’m also fairly athletically talented. This isn’t as prominent as my musical and academic talents, but it is still a talent. Injuries and asthma have impaired my natural ability to play sports, but I can endure it.

One talent I always wish for is to be better academically. I am still lucky to be as smart as I am, but would like to have more talent in that area. In addition, I would like to have more talent in the range of athletics and music.

I absolutely consider the dancer in the video to be talented. He is talented in a unique way. He is strong and had to work hard to reach his goals. The dancer in the video recognized his potential to surmount above an ordinary person. The break dancer is an individualist with great talent.

Wow this video was my favorite. It was very interesting to watch the moves. The talent used in this video was break dancing. I think that academic and athletic are the most important because that means you are very smart. Athletic means you have and ability to be flexible, strong, or just very good at what you do. One of my talents is drawing. The talent I wish I could have would to be able to put m foot behind my head, haha just kidding. I really would like to be able to play the drums or guitar. I definitely consider the dancer very talented.

Talent is when your very good at some thing or things like in the movie the break think dancer is really good at break dancing. I personally think everyone has a talent. No talent is more important than they other everyone’s talents are equally great. I consider everyone to be talented everyone is good at something they might think they don't have a talent but they'll find one or realize they have one. Yea I have many talents athletic, academic, like wrestling, football, and other sports .I also in honors classes, science honorary, student council, and make straight A's. I wish for more artistic talents because I am horrible at drawing. I very well consider the dancer is talented he's very good at break dancing and that’s his talent that he spent a lot of time on so he could be this great.

A talent is skill that makes a person stand out from other people and makes you different. The talent that matters the most is the one you set the highest. Of course you should do schoolwork, but schoolwork isn’t a life. And if you think it is well, then step outside once and awhile. What I consider to be a talent is something that makes a person different from one another and gives us originality. I have many talents but I don’t like to share them, but what the heck here they are, I can play piano, guitar, drums, sing, I can be funny, and I write short stories. The talent I wish for is that I could dance because I have two left feet. Yes, I consider these braek dancers to have talent because what they do is amazing!!! It is incredible how they can move. So usually I end with some final word or saying, but today I just going to say to keep your talent, show it off but don’t brag..

Talent is the thing that makes a person unique in their own way. Everybody has a talent. If you don't think you have a talent, you probably haven't discovered it yet. Try new things because life isn't supposed to be boring. Life is supposed to be an adventure. Take alot of adventures, and you will eventually find your talent.

Being artistic, musical, athletic,or academic doesn't mean that your the most important. These four talents aren't the most important. All talents are important no matter what it is.

I have a couple special talents. I don't like bragging, but I am a pretty good singer. I starred in three theatre productions at Fairmont state. I am very talented in athleticism. I play soccer and basketball. I think I have alot of speed.Thinking fast is important in sports along with acedemics. I usually make a 4.0 on my report card.

I dont wish for any talents because i don't like acting like I'm not special enough for myself.I'm perfectly fine with how I am. In fact, everybody should love themselves. I really do consider the dancers in this film very talented. They really do deserve the honor and respect. They have probably praticed for years. Alot of people wish for the rythm, flexibility, and strength that those guys have.

I think talent is when you have a skill that no one else that you know of can do or something amazing. I think that academic is important because you need the good grades to get a good job. Also if you do that and it encourages you too do good in athletic. I consider lots of people talented by people who catch my eye. I do have special talents I am very flexible also I play basketball. I wish for when I grow up to play basketball. Yes, I do consider the dancer very talented because they can do something that I don't even know of anyone else can do.

I feel I do have athletic talent.I love Basketball. I wish to become a better Basketball player. Most of the time even if you have a special talent you still have to practice hard everyday to perfect it.

My talents are playing the trombone, playing the guitar, and playing the paino. I also swam for the Fairmont area swim team. Yes I think the dancer was talented because he can do all that stuff on his hands.

AShields said...

Talent is one's ability to perform something in the best way that they can. It all depends on who you are which one of these is the most important talent. To me, academic talent is the most important thing, but maybe to someone else it is athletic. I consider anyone who can one thing talented. A few of my special talents are building with legos, solving puzzles, playing video games, and most academic things. I wish that I had more hand-eye-coordination. I have some because i play video games, but that's about as far as it goes. Yes the dancer is talented because I don't believe I personally know anyone that can do those things.

Talent is a special natural ability or aptitude such as drawing or other things. This guy in the video is very talented it takes a lot of skill, muscle and balance to do that kind of dance. I think artistic, musical, athletic, and academic are all- important talents. If I had to pick two from the ones you named that would be most important in life would be, athletic and academic because you need to be smart to go farther in life, athletic because you can get a scholarship off of it if you’re really talented in sports. I consider my Uncle Jeff to be talented because he is deaf and he used to play football for West Fairmont, but now he is older and is wrestling. He, also, is training to be in the Olympics, so he must be very talented! I don’t really wish for any talents because I’m already talented enough. I do consider this guy in this video to be very talented.

I think talent is your own natural God-given ability to do something.

I think that all these talents are important.If I had to chose the one that I think is the most important I would have to choose academic.I think it is the most important one because if you're smart you can go along way.What I mean by that is you can get scholarships and awards.

I think everyone is talented at at least something.I don't think anyone can say that there isn't something that they're good at.

I used to have a special talent in basketball.Basketball used to be my dream.I used to love to play basketball.I was also very good.When I played for Jayenne and Dunbar I was the point guard on offense and the guard on deffence.Now I don't play any more.I played since I was in the third grade up untill the seventh grade.My parents and all my friends kept telling me to play, but I just refused.

I don't wish for any different tallents.I like the way I am.I'm also happy with the way God created me.

Yes, I do considder the dancer in this video VERY talented.Dancing the way he does takes lots of practice and encouragement.I'm sure this guy practices nonstop.I'm also sure that he had alot of encouragement from his family and friends.

I think that talent is being good at something. To me,academic talent is the most important. I think that my big brother is very talented at the guitar. I think that I am academically and physically talented. I play three different sports over the course of a year. I also get good grades on my report card. I wish that one day I would be able to play guitar like my big brother. I think that the dancer in this video was one of themost talented people that I have ever seen. Breakdancing requires massive amounts of strength.

Unknown said...

Talent is a personal gift or skill. All types of talent are equally important, but your academic talent will probably help you the most in life. Without an education it is harder to get a job and make money to support a family. Everyone is talented in their own way. Some are more talented than others but everyone has talent. I would like to think that I do have talent but its nothing really special. I can sing, dance, I can play the piano, I’m good at volleyball, and I guess I’m pretty smart. I am happy with who I am so I don't wish for any more talents. The dancer in this video was amazing and so talented.

XCChick said...

Talent is a special art or a skill. I personally think academic talent is the most important because that is what you need to get into college and to get a job. Other talents such as artistic, musical, or athletic are excellent talents to have and looks good on record but the talent you need to make it in life is academic. The person I consider to be talented is many people I really cant decide, my whole family has been known for being very athletic in their day so I look up to them all. My talents are academic, athletic, and also artistic, although sometimes I wish I could be more talented musically. The dancer in this video is very talented, not many people in the world can do what he does.

Unknown said...

I liked this video. It was something easy to blog on.

Talent is something you were born with that you have a natural ability for. It is something that you have potential that with some work you could become excellent at doing it.

I don't think one talent is more important than the other. You could use any of these talents as a career. You could make a living with something you really love; maybe its math or maybe it is basketball. I think that is one thing that as you grow up, you wish you could have a job you loved to go to every day.

There are so many talented people. The person I’m going to talk about is my brother. He is a great soccer, basketball and football player. He played all of these sports at East Fairmont High School. Also, he was very smart. He had above a 3.6 average every year. He is going to WVU right now, and is about to graduate next spring. His major is education. He wants to be a teacher, which I think is awesome because he is really good with kids.

I think I have a few talents. I really love to play basketball, and it's something I’m good at. I also like to dance. I’ve taken dance lessons for almost 11 years. I also am good at math. It is something that comes easy for me. I’m glad I am good at math because it's really important, so I don’t have to spend so much time on it, I could work on basketball. I'm really grateful for all the talents I was born with. Everyone has talents and they should use them to their best ability.

I don’t think I would wish for a talent because it would change who I am.

I think the dancer in this video is very talented. I also believe he wasn’t born with all of that. He had to work hard to develop his talent. Talent isn’t something that is just given to you. You have to realize that you have natural ability and explore it.

Talent can be anything. Depending on which person you're talking to, artistic, musical,athletic, or academic have different importance. I know for me personally artistic is the most important. Then comes academic and music, finally athletic. I think a lot of people are talented, just in different fields. I think I have at least a decent amount of artistic and acedimic skills. Musical is something I'm okay at and I'm horrible at sports. I wish to be able to play piano better and sing better. Get better at drawing and cging. The dancer in this video is definetly talented! I'd never be able to do that. That must have taken a lot of practice.

That's why the other talents are important too. I think my grandma is very talented because she is an artist; she draws the most beautiful pictures! My special talent is probably singing and drawing. I love to sing and I have been drawing since I could pick up a crayon. I don't wish for anymore talents than I have. I think I have enough talents. I am happy the way I am. Yes, the dancer in this video is very talented. He must have worked very hard to do that stuff, and he must have trained very hard to be that strong. It was so cool!

Hello MS.Constable! I'm sorry that this is late because i forgot about it. Talent is when you have something that not many other people have. It can be anything from juggling to playing sports. I think that academic talent is the most important because your school work is very important in the world today.i think that many people are talented. Some are Michael Jordan, Bill Gates,and Tiger Woods.Everyone has some type of talent.I don't really have any special talents but i just try at whatever i do.I wish i could do every talent better than everyone in the world.The dancer in this video is very talented because of all of the moves he can do.

Talent is a special natural ability or aptitude. I think artistic because it is something that you are born with and you may not be able to learn. I consider Michael Jordan, because he has awesome athletic abilities. He was the greatest basketball player to ever step on a basketball court.

Yes, I have many special talents. I can touch my tong to my nose with out using my hands to place I there. I also can curl my tong. I am also very good at sewing and doing latch hooks. I wish I could do certain tricks with a basketball, or move my ears, or I wish I could do something that has never has done.

Yes, I consider this beak dancer talented.

This video is really cool. Talent is anything somebody is good at doing or something that is special to you. I think that every talent is important. If your not smart then you'll go nowhere in life. I think that everyone is really talented in their own way. Someone may not be good at something while another person is. That person may consider the other one talented.I don't really have a talent though. I do consider the dancer in this video to be VERY talented. I don't know how they can do this. It would take tons of practice and determination.

Talent is the natural endowments of a person. I think that academic talent is most because to get into a good college you need good grades. Someone I consider to be talented is Pat White because he is artistic, athletic, and academically talented. I don’t have any special talents that I know of but I might find one later in life. I don’t know what talent I would wish for I might wish to play basketball like Michael Jordan. Yes I would call the dancer in this video talented because I don’t know anyone else who can bend like that.

this is a tallent that few people posses. it is a good talent to have.In my opinion knowledge is the best talent. Most people think it is sports becouse of the money you can pull in. You cant play without grades though. Im not saying that athleticism isn't a good talent, but i would rather have knowledge. I have a few talents. One is knowledge. Another is athleticism, im not the best at some sports. in most cases im a solid back-up. One talent i don't have is public speaking. i cant talk before a group. i can barly read in front of friends.

Unknown said...

OMG!!! I wish I could do that!!

Talent is the ability to do something that not alot of people can. It depends what you really want to do in life. I'm a pretty awesome goalie!! I wish I was a better swimmer and better at math. I personally consider the dancer in this video the most talented person I know.

I think that talent is when you have a special thing that you love to do, and you do it well. I think that academic is the most important because of course artistic, musical, and athletic is important, but you can get a lot farther in life and in your collage and high school life with academics. I think that I’m pretty talented myself because no matter what people say, I’m going to go for what I believe in. If I think I’m good enough to throw a flip or put up a stunt in my cheerleading, I’m going to try my best to go and succeed in that. I don’t really know any really special talents that I have, but I can jump really high and I’m pretty flexible. I wish that I could be able to be a straight A student and be one of the best cheerleaders out there, but I’m still going for that dream. Oh most defentally I do think that the dancer in this video is talented. That type of dancing takes a lot of muscle to do what he was doing.

Talent is an activity that you can perform well. I think that academic talent is the most important because without education, you will never get anywhere in life. I consider my brother to be talented because he has really good grades and goes to a great college. He can also play the guitar, piano, and the saxophone. I don't have any special talents. I wish that I could play the guitar. The dancer in this video is extremely talented.

I think that the movie was good. And the talent is break dancing. I would say that academic is the talent most important. I consider that the dancer in this video is most important. He has good dance moves. I do have some talent I can roll my stomach. I would wish for flying talent because I could fly to where I wanted, and when I wanted. And when I play with my little siblings I could go in to the sky and they could not get me. I do consider the dancer in this video talented because he is a really good dancer.

Talent is a special natural ability that you can improve over the years.
Yes, because you can defently get a scholarship for a really good school/collage.
Yes, I think I am talented because people think my drawings are really good and also when I play soccer.
I love to draw and also play soccer.
I don't wish for anyother talents.

This video was so Awesome!I like it alot cause it shows you that you can do anything just put your mind to it and your capable of doing anything.I think that the video shows you alot of stuff just set your mind on it and have that as your goal.The people on the video are cool dancers i would love to learn how to do that, but i know if i really want to do that all i have to do is set my mind on it.I think that the video shows you a hole bunch of stuff like for example how to dance.

I think that talent is an ability that an individual has form birth. Talnet is one thing that makes us special as an individual and so different from one another. If someone is trying to suck everything out of you, you know that they can't take your pride, talent, or ability to express your way through creative ways. Talent is a gift from God that can make you a unique person and stand out from the crowd. If you learn how to do something that you consider is a talent, yes that is still natural cause you had it since birth you just happned to find it deep inside of yourself. Yes, artistic, musical, athletic, and academic talents are very inportant. If nobody in this world had those talents, where would we be? The world would be bland and some of us probably wouldn't be here. Yess Yess i do have a apecial talent. Everyone says i can sing very well and i love to do it. I like to dance, step, and write songs, poems, ect. ect. I would like to be able to breakdance like this guy in the video. [[ i forget his name. ]]

I consider him veryyy talented. Iwish i could breakdance also. [[my bro can do it. but i def. cant haha]]

i hope nobody gets punched by this guy, cause he has to have strong arms to hold himself up like that.

Talent is the having the ability to do amazing things, it could be athletic, vocal, physical, etc.
To me musical talent is most important, because I've been singing since I could talk, and taking voice for a while, but that is only my opinion. The others are quite important too. I really believe that Christina Aguilera is talented. Her singing voice is amazing she's my biggest role model. Another person is Sasha Cohen, she's an Olympic ice skater and I consider her very talented, even though I can't stand on ice skates I look up to what she can do. I have a couple talents, I love singing it's one of my passions and I can wiggle my eyes back and forth really fast. (:
A talent I wish for is being athletic, I'm horrible at all sports and I really wish I could do some kind of sport. The man in that video was very talented. To do that you would have to have a lot of abilities. This was an awesome video.

Unknown said...

Wow!This video was good.Break dancing
is hard and stressful especially if your in a compatisn with someone and your money on the line and then it requires a lot of practicing to get better and better at it but it is also a lot of exercise and you have to be in shape to do a back flip or even all the moves.

Unknown said...

wow! this video was amazing it was sooo good...! Talent is artistic, musical, athletic, and academic. I really don'y have any special talents. All though I am very good at basketball and track I wouldn't consider them as being" talents". I try my best at what I do and I work really hard at them. I always work at the best of my abilities. I never give up and I believe in myself.

I loved this video! The dancer in the video is very talented. Everybody can’t just spin on their head. I think it would take a lot of strength and practice to do those dance moves. I think talent is anything you are good at. I think whatever talent is most important to you is most important. If your most important talent is singing, than that talent is most important. If basketball is your most important talent, than that is most important. Academic, athletic, and musical abilities will take you different places. It’s whatever you want to do. I think a lot of people are talented. But if I had to choose, I would say Beyonce because I idol her most. I am good at singing. I love it. When I’m in a bad mood, I go and sing and it makes me feel better. I love the song ‘Teardrops on My Guitar’ by Taylor Swift. Even though I sing well, I wish I could dance better. I am a really horrible dancer.

Talent is something you dfo well.(like Ms. Constable is a talented teacher) It depends on the person on what talent is most important, like i can sing, draw and kinda dance, but at sports I'm a total klutz and academicly, I'm okay but I wish I could be better. I consider a lot of people talented for different reasons like drawing, singing, acting, dancing, and my mom for being really talented when it comes to little kids. A special talent I have is (before the car accident that screwed up my knee) I can walk on my knees. I still do it sometimes but it hurts. A talent I wish I hadis to have a more of a athletic talent, sometimes I swear I could walk across a flat surface and fall flat on my face! I do consider the dancer in this video to be extremly talented because break dancing is hard my brothers both try,(and fail miserbly :P)

Me and dictionary.com both believe that this is talent.
1. a special natural ability or aptitude: a talent for drawing.
2. a capacity for achievement or success; ability: young men of talent.
3. a talented person: The cast includes many of the theater's major talents.
4. a group of persons with special ability: an exhibition of watercolors by the local talent.
5. Movies and Television. professional actors collectively, esp. star performers.
6. a power of mind or body considered as given to a person for use and improvement: so called from the parable in Matt. 25:14–30.
7. any of various ancient units of weight, as a unit of Palestine and Syria equal to 3000 shekels, or a unit of Greece equal to 6000 drachmas.
8. any of various ancient Hebrew or Attic monetary units equal in value to that of a talent weight of gold, silver, or other metal.
9. Obsolete. inclination or disposition.

I think that all four artistic, musical, athletic, and academic talents are all equal.I believe that everyone has talent but in different ways. Everyone has special talents so yes I do have special talents. I wish I had good memory so that I never had to study for anything because I don't like wasting my time on something I won't remember a week later. I do believe that this dancer is talented because not a lot of people can break dance.

davidhaley said...

Talent is something that most people have, but few have their talents mastered. It is a special skill you have, whether it be for entertainment or just for fun. I think that no talent is more important than the other because they all interlock within each other. If you have artistic talent it could me an instrument, which would make it musical. If your artistic talent is dancing, its music and athletics, and studies show that kids who listen to or play music tend to be smarter. I have the talent to juggle, and my best talent is music. I can play piano, drums, i can sing, and i can pick most instrumentys up within a little but or time. I wish i were more atheltic or that i could draw. I think this dancer is super talented.

NIck said...

Talent is being very skilled at something. I think academic talent is most important because to get a job anywhere you have to have an education. I think a lot of people are talented but I cant really think of any one person right now. One good talent I have is that I run cross country and I am really fast and good at it. I wish that I could dance like the dancer in this video. I think the dancer in this video is very talented, especially what he did at the end of the video. That was amazing.

Talent is the ability to do extrodinary feats. I think the most inportant is a combo of all 4, because art and music are great ways to express yourself and athletic and academic are the essencial to succeed.I concider some thing that truly expresses your self for who you are and it wows whoever the feat is presented to. I wish i had the talent to play the guitar like famous guitarists like slash, gene simmons, and carlos santana. that dancer was as talented as heck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
