Your Passion and Purpose: Tell us about a topic, idea, or activity that excites you. How does it connect to your goals or the kind of impact you hope to make in the world?
Leadership in Action: Think about a time when you worked with others toward a shared goal. How did you contribute to the team’s success or handle challenges along the way?
