Essays / NYU Tisch Kanbar Institute Film & TV | Undergrad | Leadership and Collaboration Anecdote [2]

Part 2: Leadership and Collaboration Anecdote
Leadership and collaboration are important ingredients for creating successful media projects. In three hundred words or less (no more than one page, double-spaced), describe an experience in which you exercised leadership and/or took part in a productive collaboration. We're interested in both your insights into these issues and your ability to tell an engaging short story

Above is a prompt taken from the NYU Admissions website. I would like to know if they are looking for the entire 300 words to be an anecdote (in short-story format), or if they want an anecdote + an essay type follow-up to it.

The application is due in 2 days.

Undergraduate / Harvard Essay: You may write on a topic of your choice, or you may choose from one of the following: [2]

To find answers, I rigorously ~~researching~~researched~~into~~ the individual that I called my father.
I learned about the sacrifices he makes mentally, physically, and economically-- all to improve the lives of his children
All my questions were answered, and my spiritual father became something more than a figure to pray to-- he became my role model.
I've come to realize that despite not being with me physically, he's always there to support me in my times of need, as his guidance serves to encourage me in times where I feel the weakest. I strive to become better, in order to make my father proud.

Strong essay, fix some of the grammatical errors and you should be alright :)
