Magical Weapons Narrative
Throughout your life you gain little bits of yourself, that in the end make you who you are.
These things are called your "Magical Weapons". Everyone is different ranging from Initiators to
Visionaries, but everyone plays a vital role in society. After taking the test to discover my strengths I
was not shocked when I see my results. My skills included group relations, recognition, initiator, and
believing, all things I have known about myself for a while now.
One of my best skills starting from when I was a child has been my group relations. Making
friends and relating to others has always been my strongest quality. This quality came in useful when I
switched schools, having no friends at my new school. I was able to quickly meet new people and
throw myself into different situations in order to meeet others. I am so thankful to have group relations
be such a high quality of mine and hopefully one day it can help me find a career path. Recognitions is
another one of my top skills. Being able to recognize when others feel uncomfortable and uneasy is a
great skill to have, that way I can make sure everyone is in their best position. I am also quite good at
recognizing when things need to be done. Being able to understand when you need to sit and focus
comes in handy often, like right now.
Another skill high on my list was initiator. This means I can transform thoughts into actions and
gets things in motion. This may have been this best skill I had growing up. When growing up your
imagination is your key to life. Having the skill of an initiator was amzing because I was always able to
put my imagination to use. Making forts for my sister and I in the bushes or pretending to be mermaids
in the pool, I was always able to make something. I think that having the skill of believing helped alot
with that as well. Having the power of belief is something that can help you and others. All of these
skills will help me in the future with building and holding relationsips with others.

Having these and many more skills are what makes me, and everyone else unique. Each skill is
like a little puzzle piece, building each and every one of us into something special. With these magical
weapons we are able to help each other in new ways and help society as a whole. Without each one of
our skills we would all be the same, not getting any further in life. We should all be very thankful for
our magical weapons.
