In my opinion, i have great teamwork skills as throughout high school whether it be through sports or lessons i have contributed in group activities which really made me experience compromising with one another and being able to express ideas freely.my quality is great for law as i should be able to say what i want without hesitation in law meetings.
I have also improved significantly in my communication skills as i have met new people through sports that i do and even in high school when i used to do group activities.Those event led me to gain more confidence in speaking about my ideas and also in general allowed me to gain key communication skills like working better with people who have opposing opinions to mine
