I talked about being a first generation college grad, and how growing up my parents instilled in me a strong sense of pride in my education, and how that affected my approach to college. I talked about working through college to fund my education, and working hard to ensure that none of that work went to waste in the classroom. And then I went on to explain how that helped me understand how hard it is to attain a college education, and how that helps me to connect with those less fortunate than myself and make me a more compassionate physician/help my peers to do the same.I'm struggling a bit with answering this question too, but I think its basically an "educational diversity" question. i.e does anything make you stand out in that regard. You could possibly spin that story into something that fits the prompt.
I'm curious to hear how others answered this question. Anyone willing to share?
