FAQ

Should I focus on my emotions or my actions in the essay?
Balance both. Describe your feelings to humanize your story, but prioritize actions and outcomes to show resilience and initiative.
How detailed should I be about the disaster itself?
Provide enough detail to set the scene, but focus on your personal experience, actions, and growth rather than a general description.
Can I write about a disaster if I was not in a leadership role?
Yes. Even small acts of initiative or support matter. Highlight your unique contributions and what you learned from the experience.
