To achieve this, I was able to act and react appropriately, know how to combine resources and mobilize them in a given context, know how to apply these same resources to other contexts, learn, and above all, learn how to learn. Furthermore, I had to know how to take risks, be entrepreneurial, make proposals, and take initiative.
