2.5 COMPETENCY TABLE
In the table 1, as shown below, I have illustrated the competencies I acquired and or enhanced during my classes and during the internship. I would actually like to add a table where I can express the competencies I have acquired from my private experiences, e.g. travel.

Table explanation:
