Hints of arrogance in essay

<p>not sure how to talk of myself humbly</p>

<p>You don’t need to, just don’t sound unreasonably full of yourself. Avoid being condescending of others and etc.</p>

<p>that’s what a sociopath told me the other day! hahaha</p>

<p>When it comes to bringing up my accomplishments in essay, humility is key. Give credit where credit is due. Instead of saying, “I cured cancer.” I would say, “My mother’s struggles with breast cancer gave me the motivation I needed to step up and find the affliction’s cure.” Also, if you give background about the process, you come off less arrogant. Instead of “I effortlessly won a Grammy,” put “my dedication to my oboe lessons paid off when I won a Grammy.” In addition, sometimes, you just have to say it straight. Instead of “my good looks, winning charm, and overall beauty granted me the title of sexiest man of the year,” be straight up --“I was voted sexiest man of the year.” The key to being humble is to be honest. Best of luck!</p>
