[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even suburban, problem-free children have had to overcome challenges, no matter how trivial they may seem to, say, world hunger. It's not the challenge that matters, I don't think. It's the lessons learned from meeting the challenge. Another tack is to write about something the child failed at and what lessons were learned from failure. Just sprinkle it with a couple of good quotes about success from failure, etc.[/quote] Don't do this. Do not write about failure. [/quote] Yes, don't write about what a loser you are. But I think the point is, you could write about how you failed (or don't even use the word "fail") the first time, then you processed all the reasons why, worked really hard, and finally succeeded. On your own, of course, thanks to your persistence and creativity.[/quote]
