Throughout your academic pursuits, and in your professional life, you'll face unique challenges, just as you have in the past. So, this question is aimed at how you navigate such challenges, how adaptable you are, and whether you are positive and decisive. How you answer could offer insights into how resourceful you are, and whether you approach such situations with outside-of-the-box thinking. Your answer might also prove informative regarding how innovative and collaborative you are. Kira suggests, that by using their platform, their clients will more successfully "enroll a more employable cohort." When scoring your answer, they'll also evaluate how effectively you articulate your answer, and whether you had an "intended personal impact in a group setting."

"I was on the yearbook committee at school and had a concept for the year that I really felt proud of, and kept running with it. I'd put a great deal of time and energy into conceptualizing the whole thing. Quite a lot of work. But I made the mistake of not running it by my teacher first, and when I got around to sharing it with them, they told me it was the same concept from about ten years ago, and our principal felt very strongly about not repeating previous themes, even remotely. So, I had to scrap all the work I'd done and was all out of ideas. But mostly, I was emotionally attached to the concept, and that made it particularly hard. But, I recovered and learned to ask more questions and be more transparent with my ideas and my work so that I wouldn't repeat that mistake ever again. When I did come up with another concept it went over well, and everyone liked it, but I wasn't as invested in it. But I put my all into it anyways, and it was a success."
