Essays / Write a well developed essay [4,000 character maximum which includes letters, spaces [3]

"Tell us about an intellectual challenge that has mattered to you an idea that you have wrestled with and explored independently. How have you resolved it and what impact has this had on your plans for the future."

You could talk about how coming up with ideas to write about for an essay has been a challenging task for you. You could go on to say how you made it out of that loop-hole and found ease in brainstorming and pulling away topics to write about. You then should say how you "resolved it", and that your undergraduate acceptance essay into University/College has helped your future plans.

Please help me out :)

Undergraduate / What is one of the most difficult things you have ever done or experienced? -250 words,BYU [3]

I was looking forward to my senior year in high school. I was living in Tomball, Texas, and was surrounded by loving family and friends. I had a red Ford truck, a spot on the football team, and a pretty blonde girlfriend. However, the fact that my family and I were moving to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, became a quick reality. I had less than a month to tell my friends about the move. Having arrived in this diverse country brought many challenges to me. In addition to leaving the friends I had grown up with, I could no longer play American football which I had played since I was 8 years old. Within just a few days upon arrival I found out I wasn't going to be able to play rugby since games were held on Fridays, and the LDS church held services on this day. Being somewhat forced to no longer continue my hobbies, in addition to the culture shock and things that encompass the trials of moving overseas; I was engulfed with countless hardships I cannot fully explain in the allotted 250 words. Though my life in Abu Dhabi has been, and continues to be extremely tough, I am blessed to know great changes and trials reward great opportunities for learning. I have learned many things I wouldn't have if I had stayed in Texas my senior year-essentially left unexposed to the world. With every day that passes, I seeing blessings I was blind to before.
