From your list of five, select two characteristics that you strongly demonstrate. Using specific examples, explain why you chose these characteristics and how you exhibit them in your life (250 words maximum)

I chose:
â˜...Adaptable and teachable
â˜...Hardworking and disciplined

My mom always tells me "Don't be afraid of facing and learning new things. Never give up on learning, discovering." Being open-minded and hardworking in her whole life, my mother has always been a model of mine.

One year ago, I came to Palau by myself. My adventure journey started right here. No family, no friends. I was this pale indoor girl who couldn't speak English fluently in this English-Palauan speaking country. Everything was a challenge.

In my first class, I couldn't catch up of what teachers said. Then I would record my classes and review them again and again. The first time I wrote a 10 pages essay, I wasn't good. I got a discouraging C+. But at the end of the semester, I got and A. That is the result of countless reading and learning, asking for help and advices.

And the first time I joined church, I was amazed by the spirit. So I asked missionary to teach me. And I started learning gospel by looking up every words in the dictionary: thou,thy,thee...And slowly, I can share my thoughts in church.

In this one year, I was chosen to represent my class in student forum. I joined governmental meeting as an English interpreter; and I am on the honor list of my school. The most importantly, I became a member of church and received the greatest joy ever in my life.

One person can only have one cultural background, know one language at first. However, a open mind help me to discover; and hardworking help me to achieve. And I will keep discovering and keep achieving.

Any comment is welcomed!
it's little bit more than 250 words right now.
Hope that I can get some advice on cutting down the words.
Thanks!
