learned in high school?

whatever they may be. Describe the biggest challenge you have faced so far and how you have overcome or dealt with this challenge. What has
been the most important opportunity you have ever had? How did you use that opportunity?

3. Imagine that your job is to recruit volunteers to do community service work for your favorite charity or case. Describe the purpose or goal of the
charity or cause and why you believe this is such a worthwhile project. Then construct a speech you would give encouraging these people to do
volunteer work with this group.
