- ‘Describe a situation where you have had to adapt to unforeseen circumstances, including the results’:
“The sad story happened on Christmas Eve 2005. A guy I considered to be a friend set my car on fire. When I found out, the first thing that came to mind was to go and set his car on fire as well. I then told myself I have more to lose than him if we both go to jail. I have my education to think of and I am not getting any younger.”
- ‘Give an example during the past 12 months of an objective you have achieved using persistence and determination, and how you ensured you achieved your goal’:
“I’ve done a lot of work on myself to become a bit less shy and express myself more… and I’ve improved a lot! Of course, I still blush at times, but I don’t care and feel much better this way as I feel that I have given my contribution without repression and people appreciate it and say I have lots of ideas. How have I done it? By repeating to myself: ‘Just do it!’, ‘You’re trembling? Who cares’, ‘You’re completely red in your face? Well girls – blushing is intriguing’.”
