Hi, im currently trying to prewrite for VCU's prompt about: How do you define “grit”, and how have you demonstrated this in the past?I I have two ideas below but just don't know if they are in line with what the prompt is looking for.
1) When I started working as a MA I had a lot of trouble picking up the clinical workflow (even after being there for a while), being a burden to the team, etc. Felt a lot of inadequacy and isolation with the team. I started being more proactive in doing tasks that I was inexperienced in, asking suggestions from other MAs, training myself after hours, etc. I eventually became one of the senior MAs there and have been given the responsibility of being in charge of the allergy shot program there (keeping track of renewals, mixing shots, etc).
2) First volunteering for hospice I felt like I was uncomfortable sitting with vulnerability, I thought my role as a volunteer was to like always distract the patients so when they opened up about their fears and such I would try and redirect or subtly change the conversation. I eventually learned to sit with vulnerability, letting the patients express their fears, not being uncomfortable when patients opened up about difficult feelings they are experiencing.
