What attribute of your personality are you most proud of, and how has it impacted your life so far? This could be your creativity, effective leadership, sense of humor, integrity, or anything else you'd like to tell us about.

"I have no particular talent. I am merely inquisitive." Albert Einstein.
Dear Einstein, besides your intellectual talents, inquisitiveness is an attribute not to be underestimated.
If I had to talk about a trait of my personality I am proud of, I would indubitably choose my inquisitiveness, my eager research of knowledge.

I believe that curiosity is the expression of man's motivation to wonder about world's mysteries, to study everyday's problems and to find promising solutions.

According to my parents, since my childhood, I had always had various questions: "Why don't people in the southern hemisphere fall?" "Are we alone in the universe?"... Maybe these are questions all children ask. However, the difference is that, as I grew up, I developed my curiosity, always reading, discovering scientific truths, inquiring about new concepts that haven't yet find the clear explanation. My parents are used to wake up late in the night and see me at my desk, in front of my laptop busy watching videos about WW2, reading long paragraphs about quantum mechanics or deciphering the secrets of new technology items. "It's enough for tonight, you need to sleep!" This is mom's favorite remark.

But I am not tired. I am proud of being inquisitive: I am proud of the attribute that have helped me staying up to date, making me able to discuss different topics stating my opinion based on thorough research.

I also believe that inquisitiveness will help me in my later studies; eagerness to knowledge will help me acquiring information, analyzing it and thus broadening my intellectual luggage, empowering me in fighting world's problems.

The word limit is 250 these are 265 words.
Please do you have any suggestion?

If your'e worried about words, then embrace the contractions :D

I would to I'd
and etc

I hated it doing it but it really helps :)

This is quite good. But I think you could improve with little examples which your inquisitiveness has helped you solve some sort of problem in your life.
