<p>if we choose to create our own topic, what elements should we still include? a highlighting of our personal strengths, etc?</p>
<p>personal strengths, and challenges you may have faced.
how you learned from the challenges and how it affected you. personal growth maybe…
for example, mine was about how my mom had breast cancer and my family couldnt afford treatment and surgery so for like 5 months she was living 300 miles away from us to hold down a job while my dad held down a job in seattle. how it all affected me and how it pushed me to do the “3-Day 60-mile breast cancer walk” and raise $3,000 for breast cancer research.</p>
