This question is very tough for me because I am uncomfortable saying I'm good at something while others may not see that in me.
After thinking about this for almost the entire school day, I would have to say it is my ability to interact with students at the same level that they are. For example, I do not feel that I am 'above' a student. I like to have fun with them, joke with them and just accept them who and how they are...and this is so important at the 8th grade level when there is all this icky-ness surrounding them at this age.
And there is something that I like about EVERY student. Even the ones that others don't.
I really like this answer. I can totally relate! Are you on twitter? If not, you really should be. I learn so much from fellow educators and I would love to follow you.
