Hi, I am applying for the Questbridge Scholarship and part of the application has two short answer questions with a 100 word limit each, but my answers are too long. I would really appreciate feedback on the actual content and any suggestions on keeping quality while staying under the limit. I didn't add any transitions because both of them are already too long. Please help, thanks. -Harmony.
I have a petite body type, and I am pretty attractive- a combination that can quickly spell disaster. Martial arts helped me find the confidence in myself to know that nothing will happen to me because I won't let it. I feel as though even though I'm only 5'3", I can protect other people. Going to college early has really helped me gain a work ethic. High school work didn't require me to study and plan in order to get A's. My hair has helped me learn not to get frustrated when things do not come out the way I planned and to try again with something new, or with the same thing a different way.
You need to talk about three most unique factors about you. Here, I find several things and nothing really strike me to understand what those three are. They are fine points to express your uniqueness, but you need to give more focus to them so as to let the reader understand "ok.... these are the unique features of this guy". For that you need to arrange the flow properly because you ideas seem to be scattered without a proper link. If you tell us what those 3 main factors are, then I may be able to help you with this one :)
