<p>Using the statement below as a starting point, tell us about an event or experience that helped you 
define one of your values or changed how you approach the world. 
“Princeton in the Nation’s Service” was the title of a speech given by Woodrow Wilson on the 150th anniversary of the University. It became the unofficial Princeton motto and was expanded for the University’s 250th anniversary to “Princeton in the nation’s service and in the service of all nations.” 
Woodrow Wilson, Princeton Class of 1879, served on the faculty and was Princeton’s president from 1902–1910. </p>

<p>Is it okay if I just jump straight into the experience opposed to a transition from this quote to the event?</p>

<p>Also, are they solely looking for more community service ideals, or is it okay to talk about civic service. Personally, as someone heavily involved in politics, I see two types of service community service vs civic duty. For instance, what’s more important, spending time feeding the homeless, or electing officials and formulating policy to create training programs and an economic environment where they can attain sustainable jobs? Both are important and necessary.</p>

<p>

I’m sure that either approach is fine.

At the risk of sounding redundant, I’m sure that either approach is fine.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
