  What is the most important lesson you have learned outside the classroom, and how has it prepared you for post-secondary education and life?

  In your essay:
  – Describe a meaningful experience: Tell us what the experience taught you about yourself, other people, or the world.
  – Show how the lesson changed you: Explain how the experience has influenced the way you make decisions, approach challenges, work with others, or contribute to your community.
  – Connect your experience to your future: Explain how the lessons you learned will help you as you enter post-secondary education and beyond.
