Answer Example
"Everyday I'm working on furthering my education. I'm in the process of working on my Master's degree in nutrition. I also learn through my clients' needs by researching new methods of assisting them. Last week I worked with an autistic child through PEC cards. I learned so much from the patient and this visual learning aid that I'll be keeping that experience in my toolbox."
