What did you know about core competencies before this activity? What did you learn?

• All I knew was that this was a mandatory reflection that’s given to most of my classes, I also learned a decent amount about skills I was unaware were useful for my school life and career.

How can your knowledge of the core competencies help you in your school life and personal life?

• It could help me be aware of traits and things I should follow, like being aware of my environment, being more creative in the development and presentation of my ideas, and knowing how to create unique and novel ideas. This applies to both my school and personal life, especially the Creative Thinking category since I have a passion for writing stories and fiction.
