Personal question · Motivation, Communication
After the excitement wore off
Shared homes, clubs and neighborhood projects often begin with energy that fades. Think about a space or effort you shared with others, such as a garden, a house routine or a group, that you kept going after early enthusiasm dropped.
The two questions
- 1Tell us about a time you kept up a shared space or effort after others' early enthusiasm faded. What kept you committed?
- 2Describe a time you talked with the people involved about it. What did you say, and how did they respond?
What raters look for
- Motivation
- Shows genuine, sustained drive and a clear reason for choices, including when work is unglamorous.
- Communication
- Listens first, speaks clearly and respectfully, and adapts the message to the listener.
