"The greatest accomplishment in my career was graduating from University as an honors student while still working full-time in a related field. I was top of my class, and working full-time. This success showed me that I could dedicate myself to my career and reach the goals that I set for myself. It felt great to accomplish so much and receive recognition for my dedication."

It is definitely okay to brag a little bit when answering this question. Think back to a work task, project, or accomplishment that you are most proud of, and speak confidently about what makes this accomplishment so special to you. The accomplishment you talk about should try to highlight your ability to go above and beyond to create a great end result.

I am proud to be recognized as the lead TA in my lab. Not only do other TAs look to me for guidance, but even embryologists come to me to solve any problems we have in the lab. I think I've exhibited leadership and drive since day one, and to be recognized for being a great teacher and being able to train and shape the new additions to the department is an awesome pat on the back.
