"One time in an English class, we were talking about a controversial topic. I listened to my classmates' opinions and found most of them lacked logic. I remembered the research I'd done about the issue and waited for the right moment to interject. I pitched my idea and supported it with a couple of references. I really tried to not be confrontational while at the same time expressing confidence in my objections to their arguments. A classmate asked me a question about what I'd read and I offered more explanation. After class, that same classmate approached me and we had a productive conversation that ended with him telling me I'd made him think differently about the issue. My professor also complimented how I entered the conversation and input my ideas without being offensive."
Respond with confidence! Think about a time you changed someone's mind using logic and creativity and share that example.
