      Perhaps you have maintained an exceptional GPA or excelled in school while working a part-time job.

      "I think my proudest achievement is winning a scholarship for my research. When I started in my lab, I never thought my PI would let me take on a project of my own, so when he came to me with the opportunity, I was ecstatic. I created an outline for my project, wrote the proposal, and won a Scholars Award. I have since been working on my project. It had its ups and downs, but I've learned an incredible amount about myself and how research is conducted over these past few months."
