I know this is a fairly common interview question, what challenges have you overcome?

What if I honestly cant think of anything major enough to talk about? I haven't had the most easy going life, ive had my fair share of challenges, but honestly I don't think they are really noteworthy enough to mention. what would you guys say? any one else feeling the same way?

Im sitting down here and I cant for the life of me think of something good to say, if I cant even do that right now, I cant imagine what I would say if they actually asked me that.

Are there any events that changed your thoughts in life or changed who you were? For example: job loss, failing/bad performance in any classes, losing a family members, etc.

You can talk about having to overcome discrimination for going to ASU when UA is obviously the better school. Maybe mentioning the challenges of feeling under prepared by your education's limitations...

Mine was learning English since I am from a different country. Or overcoming the fact that I practically had no personal space since I was sleeping on the floor of my aunt's living-room when I just came to the US. So my point is, it can be big, it can be small, as long as it plays a part in shaping who you are then it should be mentioned (since the adcom wants to know who you really are, they can't do that with just a AADSAS ID).

 

[Digitalangel]

dont worry, im with you. i cant really think of anything huge that people would care about either

I mean I've done bad in classes and I've bounced back to do well but I hardly think that's a challenge I overcame worth talking about haha. I feel like these things aren't big enough.
