goals you set to meet these challenges.

Paragraph #2
Briefly describe yourself and near the end of this description, connect yourself to the
character mentioned in Paragraph #1.

Paragraph #3
Identify a personal challenge in your past - or perhaps something that is occurring for
you now. You might want to write about your feelings at the time, who were your
support people and what you did to help yourself at time. Maybe you set a goal-
describe how you met the goal.

Paragraph #4
Now you need to identify what you learned from the character in the film and what you
learned from meeting your own personal challenge. Relate the connection.
