I’m working on Vassar’s app, and this is one of the questions. I’m unsure how to answer it, because of the word limit. When I first read it, my instant reaction was to discuss an internship I held over the summer at a non profit that completely redefined success for me, simply because it was such an influential experience.
But then when I went back and re read the question I wondered if I should approach it differently, I’m not sure that’s what they’re looking for. I’m heavily involved in speech and debate, and am a captain, I was wondering if maybe that’d be a smarter choice to discuss, because I could talk about how it taught me to deal with failure and become a leader.
However, I’ve also been doing photography all through high school. Not though a class, but on my own. I’ve spent hours learning how to use photoshop and manual modes in camera, and I’ve devoted an incredible amount of time in to photography. My app doesn’t really talk about that because it’s not a structured event, just an independent study I’ve poured my passions in to. I am submitting a lot of my art to Vassar in the your space section though, so maybe I should just let my work speak for itself?
anyways, any feedback would be hugely appreciated.
