For the failure prompt, I'm thinking of going with either of these 2 answers, and I cannot decide. So please give me some input.
1) My original research site's ethical committee rejected my proposal due to political reasons, but I was persevere in finding another option to still complete some of my research goals. My problem with this was that it seemed that I did not talk about my own flaws, and I basically just give a "When life gives you lemon, make lemonade" answer.
2) I messed up in organic lab due to sleep deprivation and caused my instructor (who had a broken arm at the time) to stay for over an hour to help me. My professor was really disappointed because she was adamant about reading instructions before coming to lab. The obvious lesson would be to know what you were doing and never came to do things with others with so little sleep. I needed to think about how my action affect others' times, efforts, and emotions, especially my colleagues and patients in the future. But would adcoms think of my judgment as questionable since med school will also result in sleep deprivation?
Thank you so much!
