Question 1: What did I know about Core Competencies before? What did you learn?

I knew that the Core Competencies fell into 6 different categories, (Communication, Creative Thinking, Critical Thinking, Personal and Cultural Identity, Social Responsibility, and Personal Awareness and Responsibility.) I learned a lot, such as how certain actions from certain people can fit into a lot of these catagories, and how to properly look and decipher which action fits where. 

Question 2: How can your knowledge of the Core Competencies help you in your school life? Personal life?

My knowledge of these comptencies can help allow me to understand my core values and which values will be most focused on. It can help me find ways to improve the competencies I need to work. For my personal life, it will help me improve my values which in turn will improve my ability to create new relationships and new oppurtunities for careers.
