If I asked others what their favourite thing about me was, I’d get different responses, and I am probably one of my worst critics.
Actually, I have two favourite thing s about myself – my energy for performing, and my creativity & imagination.
These are the things that have always stood out.
Without my writing stories from a young age my headmaster at junior school would never have seen my gift. He was so pleased that I got the school honour award. At the time I had just joined school late, after being put in a special needs class for a while. And I wasn’t like the other boys, didn’t have their energy. Discovering this gift meant I was recognised.
My writing and creativity won several other awards and recognitions during my childhood. Probably my proudest one was a large Blue Peter badge (which I sold ten years ago for £25 on Ebay).
With performing, I was able to show others what I could do. This still meant the other kids made life heck but also some of the teachers saw my gift.
So those are two of my favourite things about myself.
