QUESTION 1:
What are some of the challenges you have faced or are currently facing in your studies? Can
you describe a specific situation or situations where you encountered a setback in your
academic journey? (10)
In my studies, one of the main challenges I have faced is time management. Balancing multiple
assignments, readings, and exams can be overwhelming at times. I have also struggled with
maintaining a good work-life balance, as I often feel pressured to spend all my time studying
and neglect other aspects of my life. Additionally, adapting to online learning during the
pandemic has presented its own set of challenges, such as technological issues and trouble
staying focused without the structure of in-person classes.
One specific setback I encountered was during my sophomore year when I took on too many
extracurricular commitments and overloaded my schedule. I ended up feeling burned out and
my grades suffered as a result. I had to reassess my priorities and learn to say no to some
opportunities in order to focus on my academic responsibilities. This experience taught me the
importance of balancing my time and energy effectively in order to succeed in my studies.

QUESTION 2:
Reflecting on your academic journey, what personal qualities or strengths do you believe
have contributed to your resilience in overcoming the challenges you described in Question
1? (10)
Throughout my academic journey, I believe that my resilience in overcoming challenges has
been fuelled by several personal qualities and strengths. Firstly, I have a strong sense of
determination and perseverance. Despite facing setbacks and obstacles, I have always been
committed to pushing through and finding ways to overcome them.
Additionally, I am highly adaptable and open-minded, which has allowed me to approach
challenges from different angles and consider alternative solutions. This flexibility has been
crucial in navigating difficult situations and finding innovative ways to address them.
Moreover, I am a proactive and resourceful individual. When facing challenges, I have actively
sought out support, resources, and guidance, whether it be from professors, peers, or other
sources. This proactive mind set has enabled me to tackle challenges head-on and seek out the
necessary assistance to overcome them.
