Developing Personal Insight
July 24th, 2017This week I want to share a link to a series of personal insight questions from the University of California’s college admission application. I especially appreciate these questions for their scope and direction. Whether you are applying to the UC system or not, you’ll find that the questions comprise a valuable exercise in shaping choices and reflection on what is important to you personally. The personal insight questions are also beneficial for younger high school and middle school students and their parents to consider as they look ahead to searching for a boarding school and/or college.
Personal development is something we all continue to work on each day of our lives, whether we’re aware of it or not. The series of questions provided by UC is a great way to get us to dig a little deeper and gain a better understanding of ourselves.
