1st Answer Example
"I define success by my ability to reach the goals that are set out for me. In 2021, I made a goal to complete my B.S in Mechanical Engineering degree and graduate with honors. I ended up achieving that goal by studying 3 hours a night, 7 days a week, and graduated at the top of my class."

2nd Answer Example
"I define success as the ability to go above what is known and discover and learn the unknown. For example, I found that I was interested in learning more about zero-emission jet engines. For my graduate thesis, I wrote my entire thesis on zero-emission jet engines, ideas on how to mass produce them by 2050, and how it can impact the global climate over the next 50 years if every aerospace company mass produced them."
