<p>Hey y’all. I’m applying to GW and the honors program but I am really stuck on the second question:</p>

<p>“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” - Winston Churchill. Tell us about a time you took a risk, failed, and were able to pick up the pieces and learn from the experience.</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>Please describe an instance when you took ownership of your intellectual growth and molded your education to meet your own goals. What did you learn about yourself through the process?</p>

<p>I don’t know which one to choose. what did you write about?</p>

<p>First off, let’s omit “ya’ll” from our vocabulary. :D</p>

<p>I would write about option 1. Option 2 could easily make you sound arrogant in the essay, whereas option 1 allows you to tell about what you learned from a mistake. Go with #1.</p>

<p>I did end up going with option 1! thanks!</p>
