I'm currently trying to brainstorm and pre-write some ideas for the challenge/adversity essays, and would like some feedback on the ones I've come up with so far.
1) I played an instrument competitively for a long time, and for a few years, I had extremely bad cases of nerves, to the point that I really dreaded going on stage. I eventually overcame this through a combination of hard work/practice and coping strategies, and consequently I am much more comfortable and confident while doing things under stress these days.
2) Is writing about interpersonal challenges okay? There was a stressful and prolonged disagreement involving me and my roommates over our living situation. Long story short, we resolved it satisfactorily after a lot of discussion, and I learned quite a lot about when to compromise and when to stand firm. I am also wondering if it would be good for a failure prompt, as the end result was not what any of us wanted, and in retrospect, I think the desired result would've been possible if we had done things differently.
Thank you in advance!
