Describe an example of your leadership experience.
I have a group presentation project in my history class. I am
working with three boys that I do not really know. They
choose me to be the leader of the project. Our teacher assign
us to research information and take notes. My group
members are not sure what to do. I’m shocked that they
didn’t have the responsibility for the project, because they
are trying to make me do all the work. I think each person in
our group has to be the part of it, so I try to communicate
with them and explain to them what they have to do. You
cannot be lazy when you are the member of a group, it is
important to improve our experience of working with
someone new. Luckily my group members understand it and
we get a good accomplishment in the end.
2. Every person has a creative side, and it can be
expressed in many ways: problem solving, original and
innovative thinking, and artistically, to name a few.
Describe how you express your creative side.

combination of colors can express more thoughts and ideas
about my topic “Dreams” etc.
3. What would you say is your greatest talent or skill?

Drawing&Painting&Designing
I think it’s almost the same idea as 2.
4. Describe how you have taken advantage of a
significant educational opportunity or worked to
overcome an educational barrier you have faced.
I’m not sure how to talk about this topic.
5. Describe the most significant challenge you have faced
and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge.
How has this challenge affected your academic
achievement?
When I was in China, my parents were my time managers.
They asked me to do things in their ways. How can I grow up
with parents’ management? Sometimes I think my dad is
overprotective about my own management. I am glad my
parents gave me the chance to study in a different
environment. It is good for me to make plans with my
opinions. I am a young adult, I know how to make myself
comfortable with my high school and college life.
6. Think about an academic subject that inspires you.
Describe how you have furthered this interest inside
and/or outside of the classroom.
I’m working with my teachers in AP Art class. I think their
artworks are awesome. I am focusing on watercolor, color
pencils, and markers. Because I’m good at mixing colors into
my artworks. When I am at home, I will create my artwork
whatever I want. For example, I do not have a good mood or
I feel so emotionally unstable.
7. What have you done to make your school or your
community a better place?
My plan is keep doing what I am doing right now, try to
explore more colorful techniques to improve more creative
artworks.
Explore my knowledge about art information more etc.
8. Beyond what has already been shared in your
application, what do you believe makes you stand out as
a strong candidate for admissions to the University of
California?
Some people say that fear is the greatest motivator of human
behavior. Such as when I am going to face my challenges, I
know it’s hard to get it but I would like to try my best.
Because I want to achieve your goals. Those difficult problem
will motivate me to do it. Or I’m just afraid to fail my test, but
after the test I can start to review it and find out what I have
to improve, it motivate me to do better next time. In my point
of view, fear is my greatest motivator, because in my
mistakes I can know how to be a better person. When I have
the skill to face my fears, I can be a stronger person.
COMMON
1.Some students have a background, identity, interest, or
talent that is so meaningful they believe their application
would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you,
then please share your story. [No change]
Art& creativity
Nobody is perfect and everybody is different, I love the way I
look and all my ideas from my artworks. I think I’m so
creative when I have my artworks. I don’t need to be the
same as others. Because I’m just the way I am! I’m glad that I
have better personality now, because I like to talk to people
about my creative ideas and express my feelings in front of
people. I think art lead my confidence to a higher level.
3.Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a
belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was
the outcome?
As a student, time management is critical. I have to balance
school schedules and leisure time. To improve time
management is write a checklist. Most of us are lazy to do
works until due day, so we get bad grade for the low quality
of work. Sometimes I have too much stuff stuck in my head, I
may forget to complete the work on time. I do not want to
start things repeatedly, it slows down the whole schedule. I
feel ok with my schedule right now because checklist helped
me a lot. I have talked to my dad about my management
through video call and also had confusion about how to
manage my finals. After our conversation, I got some tips for
the finals. During finals, I need to keep some distances from
social media, friends, and other things that may distracts me
from reviewing notes. For example, whether it is a pin-up
planner, a timetable or a calendar on my phone, find an
organizing tool that works well for me and add my list of
priorities to it. Find time for socializing, but also make sure
that get enough sleep. Most people need between 7 to 8
hours sleep every night to remain focused and alert during
study periods. Since I have more than five subjects to study, I
will organize my subjects step by step to achieve my goals. It
allows me to leave enough space for each parts. Once I go
through these stressful weeks with success, I will be free to
have as much fun as I want. Everyone has different opinions
to make checklist or plans to manage time. I think it is the
right way for me to improve my management. I hope I can be
independent without my parents’ management, because I
want to experience life by myself.
7.Share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be
one you’ve already written, one that responds to a
different prompt, or one of your own design. [New]
I’m not a outgoing girl before, maybe I’m just shy but I don’t
know for sure. But art have changed my mind to a better
way. People think I’m cold and detached by the way I look
and the way I talk. I don’t usually express my thoughts to
people. Because I don’t know if they’re really going to care
about my ideas. I’m not talkative but I do have many creative
ideas in my mind. When I feel sad, I’ll be quiet and started
painting or drawing to relieve myself. It’s not like some
people that will shouting or hurting themselves. I’m just lost
in my own thoughts and imaginations. I know I have two
sides inside my heart: dark and light. I do believe my light
side is always more than dark side. I’m trying to be a better
girl and knowing how to control my temper.
