1. organization -- you are very organized multi-tasking... you balance your schoolwork with your extracurricular activities time-management -- homework in all your different subjects, preparing for tests, your extracurricular activities, projects, reports, term papers, good communication/writing skills (you can even support that with the good grades you got) you manage your allowance/money in the most efficient way (this emphasizes your "asset" of being able to spend money well, and you're not an overspender nor a money waster.... that you are good with money... a good trait to have as a selling point to a future employee) responsible for certain chores around the house (laundry, garbage disposal, raking the leaves, washing the dishes or car, walking the dog, cleaning the litter box, feeding the hamster/dog/cat, etc.) held down a job for paper route or held a baby-sitting job volunteer work that you did member of student council (treasurer, secretary, president, vice president) fundraising that you did Of course, if you are like 20-some, in your 30's, 40's, 50's, you wouldn't actually put stuff like this on your CV when applying for a real corporate job (cuz bosses in companies will laugh their heads off), but you can put the above stuff on your practice/sample CV because your teacher is just asking you to put together a CV as practice to develop the "how to prepare a CV" skill for when you need it for the "real" CV. Then when you are in your 20's or 30's, you have a good idea how to prepare one. You're only in grade 9, and that age is a bit too early to need a CV. But you'll need one 10 years from now. It's great that your teacher is having you do one. I didn't learn until I was 23 and looking for a real job. I had to figure out how to write one on my own -- no help or correction from a teacher. Hope this helps!
