<li>Using a favorite quotation from an essay or book you have read in the last three years as a starting point, tell us about an event or experience that helped you define one of your values or changed how you approach the world. Please write the quotation, title and author at the beginning of your essay.</li>
</ol>
<p>My question is, since the prompts asks you to write about "AN event or experience", does that mean it has to revolve around ONE specific story? Would it be acceptable to write about a collection of experiences/anecdotes?</p>
<p>I understand it as using a quote from a book as a starting point for something that had a impact on your life. Maybe you can relate to the quote or something along those lines. I wouldn’t say it’s entirely a “write about whatever”, but it certainly provides more leeway than the other prompts, as you can pick whatever quotation you want to start you off.</p>
<p>Yes, I think it’s fine to write about, say, three different times when a redefined value came into play in different contexts in your life. That’s IF you can do it effectively in a short space, which is easier said than done.</p>
<p>Hanna, I do think the OP has to give the answer to what caused that redefined values. Once that is done then it is fine to talk about when it came into play. I would agree that it can take more than one event to change the value or approach to life.</p>
