UNE-COM prompt: Tell about a time when you needed to put the interests of another ahead of your own.
My thoughts - I was class chair for my SMP program, and during the COVID pandemic, our first exams were pretty rocky. Because we had exams from home, one of our professors decided to decrease the time we had on our first exam and ~50% of the class could not finish the exam. Because I was the liaison between the class and the faculty, I was the one that had to relay concerns of the class to the professor. I was close with the professor, so it was difficult for me to basically tell her "hey, the class is upset with you, etc". Through my work, I was able to help our class and relay their concerns, and ultimately increase the time of the second exam. Obviously I'd write the essay a little more eloquently than this.
Is this appropriate to talk about in this secondary? Does it count as "putting the needs of others over myself"?
Thanks, everyone. Good luck with the cycle.
