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 1500 characters)

Growing up my family and friends have often described me as someone who is very open-minded and empathic, which also makes me a good communicator because of my ability to effectively put myself in others' perspectives. One thing that my family often picks up is my persistence and patience, particularly when communicating with others and especially children. My mother has mentioned my ability to approach situations in a broader viewpoints and to adjust my tone to better cater to different needs. One of my friends, have always had difficulty with social anxiety and she has thanked me for my perseverance in helping her build up the courage whilst also respecting her boundaries so she can be more confident in open settings whilst interacting with strangers. By encouraging her from time to time, helping her find comfort in unfamiliarity, I do believe she has improved a lot! My peers have also highlighted my ability to create safe spaces for others whether they are formal conversations or about personal topics by incorporating my listening and communication skills, considering me as a trusted friend. In addition, teachers and classmates also describe me as someone with good leadership skills when it comes to group work or projects because of my inclusive approaches to teamwork. My teachers often highlight my advances to ensure all group members are involved and cooperative and also have a voice that is heard without feeling left out, demonstrating my strong collaboration and amiability.

The statement sounds more like you are focused on the things that you are proud of about yourself rather than the way that your community members view you. The "proud" moment should come as a single event, at the end of the statement. You do not need to discuss your mother separately as a parent. That can be discussed as a collective opinion of who you are as a child and what they are proud of about you. With regards to your friend, I learned more about your friend than I did about how your friend views you. Remember that you should not be speaking for these people. They should be speaking for you instead. So you will have to adjust how you address yourself in the presentation. That means, opt for a secondary point of view when addressing yourself.

I think you should focus on one or two achievements or skills you have that are widely known by people surrounding you.
