<p>Can someone help me with this question? I can't think of anything to write:
"** What has been your most significant failing, and what did you learn from the experience**"</p>
<p>It's supposed to be in 3-5 sentances. Does that mean to just answer the question simply? Like... "My most significant failing was..... From this experienced, I learned...." That seems too boring to me. It's hard to make my personality come out in 3-5 sentances.</p>
<p>A simple, short answer does not need to start with “My most significant failing was…” nor end with “I learned.” In fact, I would advise that you avoid both of those constructions, as they’re boring and will take up valuable space. Here’s something off the top of my head:</p>
<p>“In the 9th grade I jumped off the roof of my school on a triple dog dare. I ended up in the hospital with a broken tibia, confined to the most uncomfortable bed in the state. While there I met and made friends with a boy my age named Frank, who was suffering from terminal cancer. But when I left the hospital in crutches, he left in a coffin. I don’t plan on jumping from the roof of my school again.”</p>
<p>There, five sentences. And I know that’s not a good example because I wrote it in five minutes and am not any sort of professional writer, but just use a little creativity and you should be fine. Only so much “personality” can shine through in 3-5 sentences, so don’t worry too much about that.</p>
<p>Wow that was actually really good. Thanks! That really helped. Though I still have no idea what to talk about…</p>
