Undergraduate / UBC PERSONAL PROFILE: a real-life Wonder Woman who couldn't sit still whenever it came to unfairness [6]
Interesting, your essay made me wanna know more . But, I advise to write more about why you did that and what you felt after doing the right thing.

Undergraduate / UBC personal essay:Tell us about who you are. How would your family, friends... [4]
Question: Tell us about who you are. How would your family, friends, and/or members of your community describe you? If possible, please include something about yourself that you are most proud of and why. (maximum 250 words)
Answer:
My friends and family both agree that I am a smart, helpful, and responsible person with a well organized, fit lifestyle. However, where my friends consider me merely a positive and daring person who takes risks, my parents would call me a daredevil.
My parents told me that when I was a kid I used to drink boiling hot tea and jump between furniture and do other dangerous activities. Since I was that brave my dad decided to take me to work with him occasionally and let me dismantle electronic devices, which nurtured my thinking skills. My mom noticed that I have changed and she told me that I turned the characteristics of a daredevil into a driving force behind my actions.
My friends explained to me how they do not see me being daring is a bad thing because a lot of people waste opportunities resisting change. And taking risks does the opposite, which is creating opportunities like when I chose to get a job in the summer instead of studying yet ended up studying at breaks. One of my friends' parents did not allow him to study abroad, but he decided to try getting a full scholarship to a Japanese university. Later he told me that I was the inspiration.
I am truly proud of that trait of mine. However, what I am most proud of is my little sisters' progress in coding since I am the one who introduced her and helped her in learning the concepts.
