<p>"Reflect on a time you challenged an idea or belief. What prompted you to act? Would you do it again?"</p>
<p>Is it okay if by far the majority of my essay is more telling the story of what happened, rather than me "reflecting"? The story answers the what prompted me to act part and then a small paragraph at end has some reflection and answers the would I do it again part. Thanks :)</p>
<p>Basically I’m wondering, should the event be summarized in like one sentence and then the majority of the essay be reflection or is what I did okay?</p>
<p>It sounds like you may have it too story heavy. Of course you don’t need to summarize it in one sentence. But the point of the essay is not what happened to you, but what your thoughts and actions. I am idle right now if you want a reader you can email or PM me, I think email is a little easier to read.</p>
<p>Sent you an email, BrownParent. :)</p>
<p>OK reply sent.</p>
<p>I’ll repeat here, story works if you are doing more that just saying 'I walked here, I picked this up, I sat down, I looked at the clock." Your story works because you are showing your thoughts, values, persistence and giving some background as to how you came to be in the situation, woven into the story. I think you can still weave in a bit more so that your communications with others, skills at your task, etc can show. </p>
<p>In my email I said to remove the remark where you said you’d do it again a hundred times or more (that’s kinda trite sounding) I see now you are supposed to reflect if you’d do it again, so I think you can simply say you would, but add something about why you think it was right to.</p>
