The most significant challenge I have faced was when I was growing up was reading.

Tell me about an assignment that was too difficult for you. How did you resolve the issue?

I do play both volleyball and basketball. In that sport my height has given me many advantages. I can get higher up, block the ball from coming over the net, hit harder, and shoot over people. It has also allowed me to meet many people around my height that have become some of my best friends. By becoming friends with people that are tall I have learned many insecurities that many of them have, that I used to have. When I heard other people talking about them, I kind of realise that it isn’t really that big of a deal.

Throughout my time in college, I spent a lot of time working in teams, either for group projects, or for the extracurricular activities that I was involved in.

A particular instance I had to conquer happened very recently. In fact, I am currently persevering through it as I write this. A challenge I faced was applying for ASMSA. I needed everything to be pluperfect. There could be absolutely no mistakes, as I absolutely had to get into this school. It would bring a multitude of opportunities, so I couldn't do anything to jeopardize my chances of getting in. My essays had to be the most supreme essays I had ever written. I just had to get into this school.

• What main obstacles or difficulties have you had to overcome in recent months, if any?

Having the ability to work well in a team and also work effectively independently is vital. For many years, I was part of a local orchestra and jazz band and this demonstrated and signified how important it is to be able to work as part of a team and support each other. Whilst working in schools, I have developed strong professional relationships with teachers and other staff members, who have often supported me in many ways, along with providing my support to them.
