Undergraduate / Taking Initiative - UBC Personal Profile Admissions - What is important to you and why? [2]
Many things are important to me, yet one that stood out to me was taking initiative. When I was younger, I used to be terrified of even just talking, because I feared humiliation and disapproval. Yet, by staying in my comfort zone, I was never able to progress as a person and lacked a sense of purpose. It wasn't until I attended high school, where I had set up a goal to grow and challenged myself to be more open. After hearing complaints about the school environment, I wanted to share not just my voice, but to create a safe space for accurate student representation. Through multitudes of failed presentations and meetings with the SD38 Board Trustees, this two-year-long process resulted in the creation of the Colts In Action management team at my school. Through this substantial experience, I learned that it is necessary to persevere and not be discouraged by failures and constructive criticism. Since then, I began to freely immerse myself in different experiences and share my thoughts, as well as grasp any opportunities presented to me.
Taking initiative is important to me because it continuously surprises and teaches valuable life lessons. By pursuing a variety of experiences, I can constantly improve and achieve a fulfilling life.
Thank you in advance for any comments and criticism. Have a lovely day!
