Are you talented? If you don’t know it yet, the answer to that question is “Yes!” All of us have unique talents. Some of you may already know you have certain talents. Others may not have discovered their talents…yet.
When some kids think of talents, they may think of musical talents, such as playing an instrument or singing. Many people are gifted musically. Can you imagine how boring the world would be if we didn’t have beautiful music to sing along to?
Other kids might think of their favorite sports heroes. Sometimes people are talented at a particular sport. Others may be natural athletes who are talented at several sports. When people use their natural talents to play sports, they not only have fun but they also provide a lot of entertainment for those who like to watch sports.
Music and sports are only two areas in which you might be talented. There are many, many other areas where your talents might lie. You could be an artist, an actor, a teacher, a writer, a public speaker, a comedian — the list can go on and on.
Some kids may discover their talents when they’re really young. For others, though, it may be a learning process that takes years, even into their adult years. Whenever you begin to sense that you’re talented in a certain area, explore it!
Exploration through learning is one of the best ways to discover your talents. Be open to trying new things. You’ve probably heard many times that you don’t know whether you’ll be good at something until you try. That’s true!
By being open to new experiences and trying things outside our comfort zones, we expand our knowledge and understanding of the world around us. We also put ourselves in a position to grow — mentally, physically and spiritually.
Some kids are afraid to try new things because of a fear of failure. Sure, you might fail at something the first time you try it. But that’s OK. You’ll never know until you try. More importantly, though, trying gives you the chance to succeed. Sometimes when we try something new, we’re rewarded with the discovery of a hidden talent!
Once you discover your talent — or talents — see where they might take you. Some talents can lead to a future career. Others might simply be an enjoyable hobby. Either way, be thankful for your talents and use them to the best of your ability!

We are a talented group of fifth graders from SESO, a bilingual school in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. Some of our talents are: art, music, sports, math, languages, surfing, writing, reading, gaming, cheerleading and chess! We are looking forward to wondering with you this year.
How WONDERful to say hello to such a talented and awesome group of fifth graders, Ms. Katrin! It is SUPER to meet you and all your multi-talented students! We are so EXCITED to Wonder with you this year and cannot wait to use our imaginations together! We think music, sports, arts and everything in between are GREAT talents to possess– so much talent to share! Have a WONDERful day and thank you for stopping by Wonderopolis!
I belive that to find talent one must be looking for it, futhermore the extent of each talent varies. So, does that mean that one individual person is less talented than another? BUT, to say the least I’ll defienitly be looking for my own talent this year! Hopefully I’ll find it and use it to help myself and others!
What a great way to think about talent, Lydia! You have a WONDERful perspective on searching for and finding your own talents. Talents cannot be measured against the success of others, but it’s important to be happy and excited about the talents that you possess. We hope you continue to Wonder about the talents that you already have and those you will discover. We think you’re an AMAZING Wonder Friend- thank you for sharing your EXCELLENT and talented comment!
I realized I was talented when I was in second grade and I started playing piano. Then I realized I was good with percussion, too. It’s lead me to drumline! I am also talented in realizing that whatever I think or guess is not what happens. The exact opposite happens! I think tomorrow’s WONDER will be about canoeing!
Emily
Your musical talents are AMAZING, Emily! How cool that you began so long ago with the piano and you have grown and fine-tuned your skills to learn to play other instruments! WAY TO GO, Emily!
Your guesses have been super and we can’t wait to find out what tomorrow’s AWESOME Wonder will be, either! Have a WONDERful Friday!
I am very talented as you may already know. I sing, act, make videos, speak some french, and swim!! =] I LOVED TODAY’S WONDER SOO HAPPY WHEN I SAW IT.
Way to go, Betsy! We are SUPER excited that you’ve discovered these talents of your own! We hope you keep up with these AMAZING skills you possess and always try your best! Que c’est bon!!
Talents, you might say that I have many talents, like I’m good in skating, I’m a pretty fast skater I can go through people very fast, I’m a very smart kid in class I get straight A’s.
It takes a great deal of balance and focus to be a great skater, Carlos! We are SUPER happy that you enjoy skating! We also LOVE your enthusiasm for school– it’s so important to Wonder and use your imagination to help you learn new things as a student! Keep up the SUPER work!

Hello, my name is Tygo S.
I am a student at the AIS Vietnam, year 2.
I love making books with a lot of drawings and writing inside.
I believe this is my talent.
Hi Tygo, thank you for sharing your comment today! We are very excited to meet new Wonder Friends like YOU! We think that drawing and writing takes lots of talent, practice and creativity. Thanks for sharing your talent with us, we hope you will be back to visit soon!
My name is William H. I am half Chinese, half Vietnamese and Switzerland. I was born in 2005 in Bangkok. I am studying the AIS in Year2.
The first my hobby is build Lego toy, I’m very excited when I play it and I can build Lego for ages 10 to 18 very fast. I also collected the Lego that I had built.
The secondly, I love to explore all the animals in the world. Especially: dinosaurs, snakes and crocodiles…
Hello, William H! Thank you for visiting Wonderopolis today! We think Lego® toys are SUPER cool– they are so much fun when you want to build tall towers and fun places. We also think it’s great that you enjoy WONDERing about animals, too!
We bet you’ll enjoy some of these Wonders:
Wonder #275– How Do Dinosaurs Get Their Names? http://wonderopolis.org/wonder/how-do-dinosaurs-get-their-names/
Wonder #639– Who Invented Lego Blocks? http://wonderopolis.org/wonder/who-invented-lego-blocks/
Hello my name is Abbey, I have seen a lot of the cool and funny videos. I have been wondering what my talent actually is but I do gymnastics, soccer, piano and I LOVE the outdoors I am in Drue and Lauren’s class I LOVE the videos.
WOW, Abbey, you are quite talented in a number of areas! It sounds like you are working hard to practice all your different activities, like sports, the arts, and getting outdoors for some fresh air! Thanks for commenting on our Wonder and we’re glad you’ve got some Wonder Friends in your class, too!
Hi, Wonderoplis I’m talented with multiple things including Gymnastics, Cheerleading, and figure skating. I have an unusual talent too, like the girl in the video. I can bend my body in wierd ways because I’m flexible. I can lick my elbow too even though scientists say its impossible but 2% of people can do it.
WOW, you are talented in a lot of ways, Vicky! We’re very impressed with your flexibility– a lot of people try very hard to get their body to bend in certain ways– how cool that you can actually do that! Thanks for sharing your talents with us– you ROCK!
I never read anything like this.

Way to go, Angel! Keep up the great work– sing your heart out!

Dear Wonderopolis,

Alright, Wonder Friend Katie! It’s great to hear how excited you are about art of all kinds! We Wonder if you have checked out any of our other art Wonders… we bet you will be smiling ear to ear!

Wonder #669– Are You Handy When It Comes to Art? http://wonderopolis.org/wonder/are-you-handy-when-it-comes-to-art/
Thoughts: Hi wonderopolis good morning I am in Mrs. Hess’ class and I have never seen that before and I learned something new.
Connections: This reminds me of when I found out I was a really good singer and dancer it’s always good to find out something new about your hidden talent it is frustrating when you felt worthless and not of any use to anyone I felt like that all of the time.
Predictions: What is a canal?, What is the biggest body of water in the world [spefic name]?
Thank you for listening and one more thing what should I do when I get that feeling of being worthless?
Thank you wonderopolis you make me smile.
You did a fantastic job of sharing your thoughts, connections and predictions from our talented Wonder, Gabrielle! We’re so proud of you! We are happy to hear that you enjoy singing and dancing so much– we love to do the same here at Wonderopolis! As long as you’re having fun, that’s all that matters!
Sometimes talents are very well hidden, and sometimes it takes a long time to discover them! We bet you have lots of talents that you will find throughout the rest of your life! When you’re feeling down, it might help to talk to a parent or adult you trust. We know it makes us feel better when we talk to someone else about our feelings and emotions. We think you’re WONDERful, Gabrielle! Thanks for making us smile, too!
Hi the video’s creepy and confuses me, thank you for the video. Mrs. Hess is having us create a video just like you.
Hey there, Wonder Friend Cookie! We think it’s cool how the girl in the Wonder video can control her eyebrows! What an interesting talent! Some of us here at Wonderopolis can wiggle our ears, too!
We look forward to your awesome class’ Wonder video! HOORAY for Mrs. Hess’ class!
I love this wonder the most out of all of them.
I have many talents, such as singing, gynastics, and well work in school! Thank you for this wonder.
HOORAY, we are so happy to hear that this is one of your favorites, Wonder Friend Elizabeth! It sounds like you’re a well-rounded Wonder Friend indeed! Keep up the great work in school, singing and gymnastics! HOORAY for you!
WHO WAS THAT? That was AMAZING. LOVED IT!
We LOVE this Wonder video, too, Tristin! Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm!
Nice, you are talented and nice moves. I want to try but I can’t I’m not talented!!!
We bet you have LOTS of talents, Wonder Friend Lolly! We’re glad you enjoyed our Wonder video featuring a very talented girl!
We Wonder what your interests are… perhaps you enjoy sports, art, or reading? 
Hello!!! Loved this wonder as well!!! I guess I consider myself talented when it comes to basketball and art!! I love to draw and play basketball any chance I get. Also that video was kind of creepy, but funny! Thanks Wonderopolis!
Hey Madison, we bet you’re a very talented Wonder Friend indeed! How cool that you like two very different hobbies– basketball and art! WOHOO! Keep up the super work, and we look forward to WONDERing with you again soon!
Some of my talents are jump roping, which my record in 2 mins is 201. Also, hola hoop, my record is 5 mins without stopping. Lastly running I did 4 laps in 8:15 mins. What are some of your talents? Every one has some.
Wonder Friend Chris, we are so very glad you shared all your awesome accomplishments with us! WAY TO GO!
From jump roping to hula-hooping to running, you are a very athletic Wonder Friend, good for you! You’re right about talents, too, everyone has a talent! Some of us here at Wonderopolis are great singers, dancers, ice skaters, and swimmers, too! Another one of our Wonder Friends can wiggle their ears! It’s super funny!
That’s different I’ve never seen that before she’s really talented.
We agree, that’s one talented girl, Keedyn! What are your talents? We bet you have lots!
i just watched the video and I moved my eyebrows to it. That was AWESOME! Ok bye.
How cool, Alyssa! You are talented in more ways than one!
That is SO creepy I don’t know how you would do that I know how to do a lot of things.
We’ve got talents of all sorts, Madalyn! We Wonder what your talents are?!
Wow! That was freaky. Anyway, I am a singer, actress, artist and a good reader. But your video enspired me to learn more things. PEACE
WOOHOO, you sure do have a lot of different talents, Riolana! Thanks for sharing all of them with us- we hope you keep up the AWESOME job!
My friend William is very talented…but he is having cancer right now. When he are doing our math homework we think of William.
That is very thoughtful, Rochelle. We have heard so many great things about William, and we are sending great thoughts and love his way. Thank you for showing your support for him here.
It is glad to be back, even though I need a special machine to talk now. I saw all the great things people put about me, and I have tears of joy. Thank you Wonderopolis, you brought all the team Williams here to support me.
With all joy, William
William! Thank you so much for sharing your comment– you have lots of people who care very much about you! We’re glad that you’re here and we look forward to WONDERing with you again in the future! Keep your head up, Wonder Friend!
I have been told by many people that I am talented at singing, but I don’t like to sing in front of people…. What should I do?
That’s spectacular, Madison! We hope you keep following your dreams if you’d like to be a singer. Sometimes stage fright just goes away, and other times you have to work hard to build your confidence on stage. If you enjoy singing, you should share your talents with others! Perhaps you can talk to your parents, teachers or an older sibling about ways they have faced their own fears!
That rocks person. You go girl.
Hey there, Stelatha! Thanks for sharing your comment about the very talented girl in the Wonder video! What is your favorite talent? We bet you have many! Do you and your family members share similar talents, or are they all different?
