2. What sets me apart from others is when I want to learn a new
skill or hobby. I completely immerse myself in learning
everything there is to know about that particular skill or hobby.
My core values are to challenge yourself to learn new things; if
you don't want to do something, you don't have to. Being in the
Navy, I taught myself that if you put your mind to it, you could
accomplish anything. And also learned from the Navy if you
start something, see it through to the end.
