<p>The prompt is, "Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you make the same decision again?" </p>

<p>I want to write about this, because a very significant turning point in my highschool career was the moment that I challenged my longstanding idea that "nothing is impossible" is false. Yet this is more of an essay about perspective, how I view things, rather than an action that was taken. </p>

<p>I did challenge an idea that I had held in my mind for many years, but I fear since it was a mental struggle and no real action was taken, I don't answer the prompt. </p>

<p>Any advice? And obviously, you can be honest, the most important thing is that I submit an essay that is effective.</p>
