Q172. Discuss a time in your life when you felt successful due to a
goal or obstacle being overcome.
A. Sample Answer
I am fortunate to have overcome many obstacles, and to have also achieved many of my goals.
However, if I have to choose one to discuss where I felt successful because of it, I’d have to say that
it was the being inducted into Phi Kappa Phi. Throughout
my early years of school,
I moved a lot
from
different cities and countries, so I had always been put into the ‘lower level’ classes. This
eventually wore away my confidence in my own intelligence. However, when I went off to attend my
university, I was afforded the opportunity to prove myself academically on an equal and fair playing
field. I work extremely hard to achieve my goal and it all paid off in the end, because I was asked to
be inducted into the fraternity. You have to be the top 10% of your senior class, or the top 7.5% of
your junior class. This news sent my mind soaring and my heart skipped a bit. I had finally proven to
myself that I was intelligent and that all my moving had not held me back but rather challenged me to
work even harder.
