Literate People

I feel that a literate person should be able to read and write. That being said, I believe that being literate has different levels in a sense. Being literate can also mean to know a lot about a specific field/area. I propose that we can all agree that being literate means being able to read and write but the grey area in the agreement would be to what extent.

I consider one of my strengths in the area of writing to be that whenever I begin writing, I become fully consumed in the topic at hand. Usually I enjoy extensive research on the assigned writing subject (as long as it is somewhat interesting). One of my weaknesses as a writer is that I usually have writer's block and am stuck going no where. Eventually everything works out and whenever I finally begin writing, I can hash out an essay fairly easily.

I have strengths and weaknesses as a thinker as well. One of which, could be considered a weakness or a strength, is that I am always questioning pretty much anything that is said. I also think outside of the box quite a bit which usually leads to "stirring the pot". I feel that I am a creative thinker which helps create better conversation and more productive thinking.
