This is one of the question ( I suppose?) in Ohio State Application Form.
I'm not sure how long I should be answering this question,but I manage to pull around 200++ words.Help me,am I answering the question?I got a feeling that my answer is very vague.
The Question:Consider your talents and strengths, academic and otherwise. What is one thing you do really well?
My Answer:There is one thing that I do best, one thing that gets me going in my everyday social and academic life is seeking for understanding. No matter in what circumstances, understanding, be it a person or a situation would lead us to a better decision on how to think and react with people around us. As a seeker, I see life is an interesting subject. I learn to understand economics and politics in my home country, Malaysia by reading a lot from various sources. Reading enlightens me on what are happening and why did they happen. The meaning of understanding leads me to become mature and not easily to jump into conclusion. This helps me in my studies as well because I will be driven to dig into books and internet articles just to find the answer to a profounding question. For example, when studying modern history of America, I want to know did the native Indians in America succeeded in surviving their ethnicity until today. Those stories about how they gave up the land and how America was geographically formed in the text book was not enough for me. Other than that, the spirit to seek for understanding makes me a better citizen in a multiracial country. Differences should not bring people apart, just like magnet-two opposite pole suppose to attract. I also make myself a very intrigued learner as I began to explore different aspects of life such as music, science and a little wisdom on philosophy.
...and I have no idea to conclude this :|
Help needed! :(
