  3. Be open-minded: VIA activities may expose you to people from different backgrounds and experiences. Be open-minded and willing to learn from others.

  4. Reflect on your experience: After completing your VIA activities, take some time to reflect on your experience. Consider the impact that you made and what you learned from the experience.

  5. Stay engaged: Consider continuing your involvement with the organization or cause after completing your VIA activity. This can help deepen your understanding of the issues and provide additional opportunities for growth.
