Nathan is a hardworking and intelligent person. Nathan claims a trait that best describes him as hard working. I find this to be true because he has maintained good grades in his past years, and always works to the best of his ability. He is not sloppy with schoolwork and will give 100% into his work. Nathan thinks more logically and long term. If he could be any animal in the world, what would it be? Some would say possibly some exotic things such as tigers, flamingos, Peacock. Just something they throw out without any thought. Maybe it is because they adore the animal who knows. On the other hand, he goes in depth into it as he said he would want to be a Pigeon. I myself not being educated on pigeons I found that odd until I learned why. The reasons why are because pigeons are very intelligent as they are the smartest bird on the plant currently. They are able differentiate between two similar human beings as well as being able to understand all 26 letters of the English alphabet. He mentioned they can fly fast too. The United Kingdom Pigeon Control Centre say that the bird on average can fly up to speeds 120 kilometers an hour and have been clocked at 150 kilometers an hour. Another great quality of a pigeon is they have incredible eyesight and being able to see “ultraviolet” which is a color human’s are incapable of seeing. He knows that Pigeons are fast, have good eyesight, and are intelligent, meaning he has thought this through before. I think something that proves Nathan could be mature and/or intelligent is acknowledging they have flaws and working on said flaws. Since Nathan sometimes struggles to understand people as a superpower, he would want to read people’s minds to aid him and help him to further understand. I see him as someone who likes to always be productive and doesn’t like to sit around. Sometimes after a long tiring day of school and working hard you’d like to sit down and relax. I asked if he listens to music when he relaxes and mentioned he never listens to music. Although he plays the piano in a sense making his own music to enjoy. The piano is no easy instrument as it takes hours, dedication, persistence. Nathan seems to like the challenge as he does Piano which is difficult but once you get better and better maybe even one day mastering the instrument it will become a reward to the ears. Smart people understand that when something is difficult it will take trial and error and Nathan recognized that. Nathan is smart because he is logical with his decisions. Example the reasons why he chose to become a Pigeon if he wanted to or recognizing he would need to try harder at the piano. Maybe even the fact he gives it his all in his studies. Everything he does has logic behind it.
