Persuasion

I do not use persuasion very often.  I am not very good at persuading people, which is probably because I do not use persuasion very much.  If I do have to persuade someone, I will probably talk out the situation and give reasons/facts for my point.  Persuasion is not very important in my life.

Winning

Winning can mean doing better than other people in an activity or overcoming a personal obstacle in yourself.  Winning does not always mean receiving a tangible reward.  I am both ashamed and proud of many things I have won.  Even though winning doesn't always mean receiving something tangible, something I am very proud of winning is academic medals during Junior High.  I was given 3 (maybe 4) rewards for the highest grade in class.  The classes I remember are Art, Computer Technology, and History.

Commitment

I believe that I could commit myself to being better at playing the marching snare.  I will commit myself to learning to play the marching snare better.  Making myself better at the snare is important.  Next year, (this season is already over) there will be only one person on snare who has had any experience with the marching snare.  Also, he is going to be a Senior, so I have to learn as much as I can from him before he leaves.  This is even more important when I remember that I am the only person moving up (maybe, this could change) from the bass drum (which is what everyone on the Drumline starts out on).
