Unique selling point

Every one has their own individual and personal unique selling point, something that makes them different and sets them apart from everybody else.
I personal struggled with finding my USP, because it was something I felt I hadn't achieved yet. however my mind was put at ease when others in my group were feeling the same, confused about what made them unique. To ease this confusion and to help develop communication skills, we were put into group to discuss things like how did you feel after you first week of university? and where do you see your self in 5 years time? 

One of the questions that really struct me was Tell us something that no one within the group will know? At first I did struggle with this; it took me a while to think of something unique and interesting that no one else knew. I did manage to find that unique thing though, which was last year I was set a project to design a repeat pattern which was to be printed onto a plain Ikea chair and displayed in an Ikea store. This is something I am   extremely proud, just to know that my design was on display for the whole of the general public to see give me a great sense of a achievement. After my chair was displayed in the store for a week they were auctioned off ; the money that was made went to a local charity, which also makes me feel really proud.

In asking and answer those questions to my group, I discovered that I do have unique things about my self that I am proud of, however I think it might take a bit more time to fully grasp what my personal unique selling point is. Once i learn new skill and find out what i am good at, in what area I think it will become clear what it will be.
