My instructor asked me once after class if I would be interested in competing and, at first, I wasn\u2019t sure. But after talking with my uncle, who\u2019s a carpenter, I soon decided it was something I\u2019d be willing to take on. The Skills Canada National Competition has opened my eyes to all the different types of trades and possibilities that are out there.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Interesting Fact\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I play three instruments, sing, and play men\u2019s league rugby.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Skills for Success<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I\u2019d say adaptability and problem-solving have been instrumental in my training and during competitions. With the tasks given for my project, I had to be able to adapt to the material they use, the fittings they gave me, and the limited amount of material I had to work with. I\u2019d also say problem-solving is important because there were moments when things didn\u2019t go exactly as I\u2019d planned. I had to do a bit of problem-solving to get over that hump as quickly and efficiently as I could. I\u2019d say basic hand skills, being patient, and thorough are also important.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biography\u00a0\u00a0 I enjoy working with my hands; I don\u2019t like the idea of sitting in an office every day.
