Classroom management
I am good at playing and managing soccer
I was playing soccer during high schooling era, won many trophies and tournaments. Seeing that I am actually good at this, I carried it to my university level where i was recognized and traveled to Cape Town, playing with other universities across South Africa. Then when it comes to managing soccer, I mean it in a way that i was the caretaker, holding the kit before and after the game. That really made me to be a good and responsible manager ever seen.
