<p>Topic is:
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>Does anyone know if its ok to write about pride through association with a particular community? e.g. being a part of a community that bonded through a time of crisis such as an earthquake epidemic...etc</p>
<p>It is ok to start off the essay with an association with a group/community but it also should include what you did/experienced/learned/achieved in that group that makes you a more more unique and mature person. You want to be able to make an impression of your true self, not simply impress the reader. Another thing to consider is how that event shaped your life and what you have taken an an individual from that event. What do you want the reader to know and what do you bring to the table that is different from other people?</p>
