"I attended Michigan State University where I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Biology with a major in Marine Biology. My most challenging course was Analysis of Biological Data as I am more of a creative, hands on thinker vs. a statistics person. My best course, which I completed top of the class, was Animal Behavior."

I gained a level 3 animal management certification, and enjoyed training animals as part of my training module the most, especially due to the hands-on nature of this module and I achieved a distinction. I found learning business management to be the most challenging.

This is a solid answer you can build on by providing more detail that helps the interviewer gain clearer insight into your educational background. What species of animals were you training and what were you training them to do? Why did you receive a distinction? Are there any other areas of your education that you truly excelled in or deeply enjoyed? Why did you find business management the most challenging? What strategies or tools did you use to better understand the business management aspect of your field?
