Thanks for the suggestions! They’ve really helped me to brainstorm…

Intellectual vibrance: I really enjoy teaching myself things. For example, I learned web design by myself and am now trying to learn programming languages such as JAVA.

Collaborative spirit: This relates back to intellectual vibrance, but one of my most profound experiences of working in a group happened to be for a web design project. I spent a lot of time working with my team and although we didn’t fare as well as we wanted to, we became pretty good friends.

Social responsibility: Hm… I’ve done volunteering, but nothing profound really came out of that. I also feel like that’s an overdone topic.
I’ve had several jobs that required me to work extensively with kids, and I have some things I can show about that (but since I got paid for my work… I don’t know if that would count)

So this is what I’ve come up with.
Could you guys tell me if you think these are strong topics?
