  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Yes definitely. My tolerance for nonsense has vastly increased. Thing that would have before really annoyed me now don't bother me. I've realized that it is a valuable skill to entertain things that you might not necessarily believe in yourself. In doing this, your breadth and depth of mindsets increases, making you a more refined, rounded individual. I believe that in my time here, that is coming along nicely.
