This year, there are two essay prompts. Please respond to both, with each essay being between 250 and 300 words.
1). Describe a personal experience that influenced your decision to pursue your chosen field of study or career. Explain what you learned from that experience and how it has shaped the goals you hope to achieve in college and beyond.
2). Describe a challenge, obstacle, or responsibility that has significantly shaped your character. What specific actions did you take, what qualities did you rely on (for example, perseverance, integrity, leadership, empathy), and how will those qualities help you succeed in college?
