  • You are passionate about learning, self-development, and enjoy being challenged
  • You are a collaborative person who wants to go above and beyond in making those around you better, but also do not possess an ego that prevents you from learning from your peers and reaching out to them for help
  • You are a competitive person who has a strong track record of success in whatever field or activity you’ve pursued and finish towards the top of the leaderboard
