Who is your favorite fairy tale character and how would being that character help your career? If you were to walk backwards for three years how would it change your life and in what ways would you be a better person If you could be any arachnid which would you be and how would you use your new skills to solve the energy crisis? If you could use steel wool to address a world problem which problem would you choose and how would you use the steel wool? The bane of every college applicant: the admissions essay.

I actually had a college professor use questions like these for ALL his tests. Got my only C in that school because of him!

I choose the walking backwards one. Since nobody posts warnings signs that would be of use to someone walking backwards, I would imagine I’d have a number of accidents. Working through the injuries and the resulting lawsuits would have a very definite impact on my life. Eventually, (after I had a few million in damages put away), I would learn to be more forgiving and stop with the lawsuits, thus making me a better person.
