Hey everyone, I'm working on my Personal Insight Questions and PIQ 6 is really giving me a tough time. It's asking about my favorite academic subject and why. Does anyone have strategies on how to reflect personal growth and a deep interest in the subject in a way that's genuine and engaging?
Absolutely, I'd be happy to offer some advice! A strong approach to PIQ 6 is to not only discuss why the subject is your favorite but also demonstrate how you have immersed yourself in it beyond the classroom. For example, if you love biology, talk about that time you initiated a community garden project that taught you more about plant biology and ecology and what that experience meant to you.
Show the impact of your interest in this subject on your approach to learning and problem-solving. Mention any related books or podcasts that captivate you and highlight any subject-related extracurriculars or projects that you've undertaken. Make sure to weave in anecdotes that show personal growth, such as a challenging concept you mastered through persistence, and how this subject is shaping your future aspirations.
