Essays: 1) How I challenged the opinions of those at my church after I came out as gay to be able to participate as a small group leader within my community. (didn’t come off as bitter, talked about how I was told I couldn’t participate because of my sexual orientation, then challenged this and met with different groups that held power in my church to reverse this decision.)
2) Talked about how I developed the different aspects my personality with help from my grandmother while growing up. (didn’t sound like I was bragging, talked about how her social abilities rubbed off on me as well as her empathy and awareness)
