As an aspiring speech-language pathologist, you must have patience and empathy with your clients. The Admissions Officer wants to know that you have the natural patience to support clients with various needs. Think of a time when your family or friends commended you on your patience level, and consider telling a brief story that highlights your patience in action.

"Patience is an important characteristic for an SLP, and yes, I am confident that my friends and family would say that I have patience. I can step back from frustrating moments and assess the issue without reacting inappropriately. I am the type of person who can objectively evaluate how to proceed with a given situation rather than react emotionally. Through my education, I have experienced many situations that have required patience, and my ability to set emotion aside and think objectively has been critical to my academic success."
