Introduction:

Write a short (100 word) paragraph here that describes your abilities, interests, and strengths.  Be sure to spend some time on this and make sure you get it right.  This introduction needs to be short, punchy and to the point.  Get someone who is close to you to assist you with this.  If need be, get another person who is able to write well, to edit this for you. Keep this in the 3^rd person, (ie – he, she, John, etc, not I or me or my etc).  This paragraph is about 100 words so use this to judge the length.
