Hypothetical questions are a great chance to show your creative side. There are lots of flowers, what about you allows you to relate to a particular plant. The answer is not as important as a thoughtful explanation as to why you choose that plant.

"The flower that I would be is a water lily. Besides being a very beautiful flower, I love how water lilies are an important part of the ecosystem. They help provide shelter for frogs and other amphibians and provide food for fish."

I think that I would be a water lily, floating in a pond. We are similar in that we are able to go with the flow and gather what we need from our environment in order to survive and flourish. Additionally, water lilies provide shelter for animals like I provide a safe place for people to come to if they need a listening ear.

I would be a jasmine flower. The fragrant smell is calming and inviting like my personality. It is a vine that grows to support structures. As I continue to grow by being a life learner, I will continue to support my community.

I would be a sunflower, I really think that I thrive in the sunshine. I also love food so I would like to have those tasty seeds around. I also think they make people happy which is something that I strive to do.
