PROMPT: What question could we ask to gain the most insight into you? What is your answer? (2000 characters)

Q: Name an object that you can most relate to. Explain why.
I glared at the Post-it note in front of me: It was nearly 2 A.M. Yet, I had agreed to proofread a friend's paper for MUN, not to mention the Basketball Team video I was halfway through editing; The girl I tutor TOEFL to had just sent me a text begging me to modify her science report, and I have promised that I would finish it before she wakes up. I did a mental calculation- that leaves me, what? Four hours of sleep? I looked back at the tiny yellow rectangle- that precise moment, it dawned to me that I was exactly like it- a Post-it note.

Post-its are known for their usefulness- they may be used to handle anything from being a notepad to a reminder. Anyone may rip one, use it, and then discard it easily after the tasked is finished. Post-its aren't necessarily needed to get a thing done- they only make things easier, hence, they are often disregarded. Most of all, a Post-it never refuses any request.

I have never turned down any request of help, no matter how loaded I am. I am not omnipotent or manipulated by my friends, but my capability had often made me the one people ask for help from. I took everyone's demands seriously as if they were my own, thus, I often bite off more than I can chew. People have told me that I have to learn to refuse and turn some of them down. What do you gain apart from a mumble of "thanks", they would ask?

When I was younger, I accepted the requests out of the fear of being hated by turning someone down. As I grew, I found that I actually enjoyed the tasks. It was always fun to read an interesting book for a class you didn't take, or understand someone's perspective through a book report. I've also realized that I like having people come to me, because it's an approval to my abilities. I believe that my Post-it like quality contributes to my various leadership positions- people believe in me, hence, they give me power to lead their group, and I, in return, satisfy their needs.

its a great essay, you sound very helpful in this essay and you proved it by helping edit mine. Thanks a lot.

I often bite off more than I can chew. i do not think you have to write this cliche, but apart from that your essay is effective because you have clearly shown that you are assiduous and helpful.
