the college question

i've been filling out this application for a summer program, mainly for the experience of completing a series of forms that should epitomize Irene Lee. This is hard. I had no problems telling them about the classes i've taken, the grades i've gotten, and the activities i've done, but when i got to that inevitable question, all of a sudden i questioned my motives and went to abstract thinking , dissolving myself to fragments that i'd love to put under my microscope. questions like: what experience, challenge or risk that you've taken made you who you are?

what? i don't believe in sudden growth spurts. mainly because i've never had them before. i believe in gradual change. i don't believe in one moment changing the fabric of me. i believe in the long process of slowly sewing my fabric adding piece onto piece, being molded into the shape that i know will not stay constant. the question has caught me clueless, and i don't know what to say. AND i have a 100word limit.
