One skill in which I think I'm getting better is the ability to memorize or remember faces and names. This skill is really important to me because I normally forget everything. It was difficult because I often struggle to remember things. I forget faces, phone numbers, or information that I get at university. It’s a common problem in my family; we all struggle with that. Over time, I learned how to deal with this. Recently, I learned how to focus on the information I receive, and I learned how to remember things thanks to tools like YouTube and podcast videos where people discuss how to remember names or faces. It has been really helpful for me because now I can socialize better. I can remember things about my university.
