At Texas Tech University, we believe in the continual development of our students, both professionally and personally. What is your self-development plan?
Having a self-development plan is incredibly important for anyone. The interviewers want to know your plan and how attending Texas Tech University will benefit that plan. If they are going to invest in you, they need to know that you have a plan for investing in yourself.
"I agree that self-development is crucial for continual growth and achievement. I am committed to investing in myself, and some of the ways I do this is by attending personal development workshops and meeting with my mentor once per month."
"Self-development requires a commitment to growth inside and outside of the classroom. While committing myself to medical school, I look forward to attending conferences such as AMSA. I also plan to become actively involved in evidence-based medical research. For personal growth, I enjoy reading self-help and motivational books on various subjects."
Since this is a two-part question, be sure to answer what plans you have for personal and professional growth. Here are some ideas:
- Listening to an inspiring podcast
- Attending personal development workshops
- Spending time volunteering in a capacity related to your career goals
- Utilizing a mentor
- Hiring a tutor
- Learning another language
- Reading books associated with success
