Undergraduate / Mini-essay for my UBC application's personal profile. Problem and/or an unfamiliar situation. [6]

@Holt
It is very reassuring to hear that from you!

I have moved the sentence "Since then I have been doing all my travel documents myself as well as my families'." to the end of the first paragraph and redrafted the rest, here's the newer version of 2nd paragraph as follows:

"From this experience I learned a universal lesson that the lack of caution can give rise to repercussion; careful planning while isn't for the lazy, saves time for unnecessary trouble and makes it easier to find a head start when dealing with unfamiliar tasks. "

While it is still short, it is without the former sentence, and completely focuses on what I've learned from the experience. Plus I was unable to expand it any further due to the word limit. After cutting off lots of pieces from the first paragraph, the whole essay is still breaking the limit by 8 words. Could you please provide me any advice on that?

Explain how you responded to a problem and/or an unfamiliar situation. What did you do, what was the outcome, and what did you learn from the experience(max 200 words):

careful planning saves time and nerves



Two years ago I accidentally purchased a transit ticket through Seattle without an US visa. Having never applied for any visa or permit myself, I had to carefully read through all the related documents on the Department of Visa's website, went on to online forums to ask for travelers and other international students' experiences. In order to maximize my chance or acceptance, I provided multiple supplementary documents as well. After finding out that the consulate does not allow visitors to carry backpack of any sort, I convinced my friend to come with me and watch the backpack during the interview. On the day of the appointment, without any previous traveling experience in Metro Vancouver, we arrived at the consulate after four hours of traveling, one hour earlier than the plan thanks to the route I printed and memorized. Inside the consulate during the interview, I was confident and excited, instead of being nervous like I thought I would.

Since then I have been doing all my travel documents myself as well as my families', and I learned the importance of careful planning: without it I'm vulnerable to surprises; with the help of it I can face obstacles with confidence.
