Sample Answer

I'm John, a senior at School XYZ, and that's who I am.

While completing a few different academic assignments this year, I was still able to keep a 3.5 GPA. I established the "XYZ Book Club," which currently has up to 20 active participants. I also started a recycling campaign on campus, raising awareness and bringing in a guest professor from outside to talk on the topic.

Given that I've never missed a deadline, I tend to be dependable and team-oriented. I'm also pleased of my capacity for resilience and for overcoming obstacles when they arise. For instance, I had some issues in trigonometry the previous year. After realising that I needed to spend more time on the subject, I met with an instructor outside of class and allocated an additional two hours every day for it. I ultimately received an A in the subject.

I want to major in either journalism or English at University X. I think both programmes will be engaging and pertinent to my interests because I enjoy reading and writing.

Good Luck!!
