Personal statement (economics)

I have a month internship as a financial analyst and done some courses about excel and ethical practice. But I am unable to link it into my personal statement and would appreciate any advice.
Thank you

I learned how to construct some simple models, extracted data to help with some presentation, and some simple forecasting tools that allowed me to cross-check entries by others. my main interest is around behavioural economic, and for that, I have learnt a bit of econometrics. So I have tired linking it but it seems like I am stretching for it.

How did learning that stuff make you want to learn more about economics? What did you then go and read/watch/listen to develop your understanding of that further?

You don't have to tell me, but that's how to connect it in your PS
