I don't think it's 'superstar' but I am grateful for the numerous experiences in my life which have allowed me to become mentally tough. Having been a national athlete while still studying in a high pressure system, I often have to make sacrifices to balance my sport and studies. I have struggled immensely under pressure and faced injuries that hindered both those aspects of my life. Moreover, I always put a lot of stress on myself to do the best that I can do all the time, which often results in mental breakdowns. However, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and I am grateful for these challenges, which have allowed me to grow and now in this new phase of life, I am confident that my mental strength will see me through almost any obstacle.

Although I have tried many things and intend to try many more, I do not believe I have found my "super star" talent yet. Hopefully, this will change in the future!

I think my super talent is to make crafts from any old thing that others find useless. I like to DIY at home, and this also has many advantages: I recycle my old things and save money that I would have spent on new things. Also, I love to decorate the house with things I make.

It's quite disturbing for me that at my age, I am yet to discover my super power. That might be largely because I try my hands on a lot of things and I seem to be good at all of the things I do. Picking what my superpower is something I have not taken time to ponder on.

I would have to say my super talent is cooking. I am amazed at the various techniques, ingredients, and cooking tools available to create tasty meals. Everyone I've cooked for so far loves my food.

I really hope you find your talent, Samantha. I do believe we have talents in all of us. Many are undiscovered talents.

That’s amazing Meghan! I’ve recently developed a love for coloring. My friend loves to draw, so she draws me pictures and I color them. It’s very relaxing and I’m amazed how beautiful they turn out, some of them like paintings.

I believe I have actually found out my superstar talent. I started learning a therapy technique for self-help and to help my family, and I had no willingness to take on therapy as a career. But, as I got deeper into it, I found that I am great at providing a safe space to my clients. It was only because of the feedback I got, and the satisfaction that comes after helping, I decided I am really good at it and I should continue helping people as a professional.

My superstar talent is dancing. I've participated in dancing competitions and I always come out tops. So yes, I've discovered my superstar talent. I only need the platform to showcase that.

I was an educator for thirty years, and I think that my superstar talent is teaching. I was consistently told by administrators, staff members, colleagues, parents, and students that I was a gifted teacher or their favorite teacher. I will share two quotes: One principal said, "You are the consummate professional teacher." And at her retirement party, a respected colleague of mine pulled me aside and said, "You are the epitome of a Christian school teacher." I will always treasure those affirming words.

I have discovered my super talent but pursuing it is very difficult or maybe I don't want to? Well, I hope I thought one day.

I think my “superstar talent” is something that impacts me negatively. I’m naturally a very closed off person, I tend to not share, or rather share with very few people. However, everyone always tells me that I have a face that inspires calm, so everyone feels comfortable confiding in me.

So yeah, my superstar talent is making people feel better because I’m a good listener
