prompt:
Tell us about the most significant challenge you've faced or something important that didn't go according to plan. How did you manage the situation?(*) (200-250 words)
my response:
Being a successful leader is much harder than I think. I remember that after I had been promoted to team leader in Civil Aid Service Cadet, I needed to lead a team go camping.
Before the journey, I was quite confident to lead my team well because I had done a good planning and studied hard about how to make a tent and how to play orienteering.
Soon after we arrived at the camp site, we were ordered to build a tent where we slept. I told my teammates to follow my instruction. However one of them suggested adding more nails to support a slant column. I denied his request as I initially thought the tent could sustain a night. Unexpectedly, due to condensed water, our "rigid" tent collapsed at the weak point. Luckily, I have brought a torch and we rebuilt it successfully based on the suggestion.
Next day, we played orienteering. We had to find out checkpoints in forest using map and compass. Bas things came twice. I couldn't imagine how it was when I discovered my compass, the only piece in my team, was broken. At first, I felt confused and had my brain stuck. A moment later, I started to recall my memory and used the watch-method to determine directions so we finished our task in time.
Good planning and wide range of knowledge is necessary for us to succeed. Even if it is out of plan, don't panic, listen to others may help.
How is my response?
Does it meets the entrance requirement?
Also if possible, please help me proofread it.
