[@BPrashantMehto]

"My Everyday Life with an Economist Monk" is my essay topic. Monk + curiosity+ resilience/peace+ leadership I chose it because I'm volunteering in ISKCON, and my mentor there is a monk who was previously an economist/banker. I've learned a lot from him. Should I write about this? Also, please give me tips for my essay.

Could you make a video on your study methods and how realistic we should set our goals based on how much we study?

[@emmasophpi]

For step one, I really recommend Berne Browns list of values!!

[@kaaviyaminumoorthi]

What’s that? Pls Explain!!

[@emmasophpi]

@@kaaviyaminumoorthi if you look it up, it’s pretty much a list of morals/valies of yourself that you want admissions officers to know. So, what I saw people do and what I’m doing now, is underlining the one that fit w m the most and that I want them to see about me, without mentioning them ofc

[@kaaviyaminumoorthi]

@@emmasophpi ohh kk tysm!!!

[@BPrashantMehto]

​@@emmasophpiI've a doubt. How can I tell about my core values to Admission office, without mentioning them. Any idea?

[@emmasophpi]

@@BPrashantMehto for example, let’s say a value of yours is independence. Instead of saying you’re independent, tell a story of how you gained that value (ex: moved out at 17). If it’s vourage (job a firefighter, how you’ve faced your introvert personality and tried to overcome it). Maybe it’s community and family (you work with your family, starting working to help them, your job involves working directly with your neighbours). Things like that

do the very best in your classes, and try to take challenging ones if you can. if your school offers honors/advanced classes, take those! also join extracurriculars (sports, school clubs, some outside of school things like volunteering). overall just take school seriously but have fun too :)
