University of California Personal Insight Question 7

University of California Personal Insight Question 7

How have you significantly contributed to making your school or community better?

Key considerations: Define community as you deem fit – school, hometown, etc. All that is expected is that you describe the quality of your role within the area. Was there an issue you tried resolving? What motivated your thought/act? What did you earn for your efforts? How did your actions benefit the community or certain people? Did you make the change by yourself or collaborated with some others?
