this is what i jotted down, but im not sure if it answers the question or if it shows my personality. Any suggestions?

"I CAN is a 100 times more important than IQ" (anonymous) is a quote that really embodies who I am & my personality. I believe that as long as I believe in myself & work hard for it, then I CAN and WILL achieve it regardless of my knowledge. The reason why I decided to take grade 10 courses in grade 9, or grade 11 courses in grade 10 or grade 12 courses in 11 is because I like challenging myself. The reason why I learned how to play various sports or the piano is because someone once told me that I couldn't I am the type of student who is willing to put in a hundred and ten percent into not only my studies but everything I do. I am the type of person that is willing to stay up all night helping her friend find her keys or the girl who will wake up anytime to get her mother a glass of water. I am the type of person who will sign up for 2 different volunteer works on the same day even though she has a major test the next day. I am the type of person that person who will stay up all night to finish her homework or project until it's perfect. I am the type of person who will never give up. I am responsible and self-motivated to strive higher & strive for excellence.

thanks in advance

I think this is how i would have answered the question as well. The only problem I see right now is the repetition of "i am" . . .I am the type of student who is willing to put in a hundred and ten percent into not only my studies but everything I do. I am the type of person that is willing to stay up all night helping her friend find her keys or the girl who will wake up anytime to get her mother a glass of water. I am the type of person who will sign up for 2 different volunteer works on the same day even though she has a major test the next day. I am the type of person that person who will stay up all night to finish her homework or project until it's perfect. I am the type of person who will never give up. I am responsible and self-motivated to strive higher & strive for excellence. I would think that repetition of "i am" would be used in a poem of some sort but not necessarily professional.

I agree, too much "I am the type of a person". Although it is a very inspiring self of you, if you put too much such words, it will show a bit of arrogance there. Use only once "I am the type of person" and modify the same ones to words like "Besides that, I like doing some voluntary work despite having exams" or "All this make me more responsible and motivated to strive better for excellence". I believe, doing this will make the individualistic sense in this short essay less stressed. When it comes to such essay which asks you to tell about yourself, an idea about a person who knows his own flaws, weaknesses, yet confident and resilient gives a more positive nuance for the reader about what kind of person you are.

hey, these are great examples. There is room for improvement, but you really have some great sentences... I mean.. you have a great way of asserting your good attitude.

The quote cannot embody. Only a body can embody.
"I CAN is a 100 times more important than IQ." This motto really expresses my personality. I believe ...

You need a period here:
The reason why I learned how to play various sports or the piano is because someone once told me that I couldn't I am the type of student who is willing to put in a hundred and ten percent into not only my studies but everything I do.----The period is missing.

Awesome!
