[QUOTE="DavidJC, post: 227300, member: 4361"] Maybe my approach/understanding was wrong but I saw "pursue" as really meaning anything that I've done outside of academic/professional life. I used STAR to describe a hobby and then explicitly answered why it was important and its personal development impact (I did XYZ, therefore A importance and BC skills). I further expanded on this with another STAR experience that arose from the first one (because I did XYZ, I got to do PQR), and again explicitly answered why it was important and how it impacted my personal development (skills, relating them to the role/tasks of a trainee). I think this approach lent more depth overall, especially on the "why it is important" part On a side note, I thought the Summer VS deadline was also 1 Dec so I already submitted my application without realising I had another month lmao [/QUOTE]
