<p>If you really look into yourself then you can find a weakness or failure, if not academic, then social or through sports. I definitely fit into this category, as do many applicants and CC members: </p>
<p>“When children grow up in a loving and caring family, a family that is supportive, a family, in which everyone helps everyone else to achieve their goals, big failures do not always happen to them.”</p>
<p>But I can think of errors I have made socially during high school, things I have done wrong as an athlete, if not academic or familial issues. If you have neither social failure nor athletic ones, then the interviewee must not have much of a social (or athletic) life at all. That in itself would be a failure for a humble, self-respecting individual who looks forward to the advantages of starting anew, which is something college is all about.</p>
<p>Humans make mistakes by nature, and those who cannot realize they have made mistakes are not looking hard enough.</p>
