<p>yeah, truly, during the entire my student life, I have always just achieved everything. They were not kind of honor and prize. It was when apply to gifted schools, gifted classes in my country. All those times were really really close, so that I wanted to write about in my essay. But what is the good point of barely achievement that I should mention? Is “always strive for higher level of education” ok?</p>
<p>That’s a challenging topic, but I think your approach to it is sound. I’d suggest you detail how you’ve stretched yourself and clawed your way into those advanced programs. But then be sure to emphasize how well you succeeded in them once you got in – and how you grew from the challenges. Snagging something that’s just barely in reach is good, but over-reaching (and not being able to handle it) is probably not the message you want to send. Good luck!</p>
<p>I think it’s an interesting topic. It would probably be something along the lines of, “For every one of my accomplishments, I have had to claw my way in…” And to reaffirm the previous comment, make sure to stress how this made you a more determined person. And how it gave you a sense of perspective. You almost didn’t make it but now that you did, all you wanted was to do your best.</p>
