UC Essay Prompt #2 is killing me!

<p>"Tell us about a personal quality, talent, accomplishment, contribution or experience that is important to you. What about this quality or accomplishment makes you proud and how does it relate to the person you are?"</p>

<p>Do we HAVE to talk about a talent/quality or accomplishment??? It says we can talk about an experience, but then it says "what about this quality or accomplishment makes you proud"</p>

<p>I am very confused here... I want to write about an experience with a certain class and things going on in my family. I don't know how this can make me "proud"... PLEASE HELP!</p>

<p>Well, if you had learned something from that experience, you might include how you are proud of that and how it affected/changed you into the person you are. I think when they say "what about this quality or accomplishment.." they meant the whole first line.</p>

<p>Thank you for your reply; however, I just thought of a new topic and am near completion of my essay. How could I possibly forget martial arts???? It has always been a huge part of my life! I trashed the other essay. Just wanted to give this thread closure. Thanks.</p>
