This question is fairly broad, so feel free to use an example from a school setting or a professional setting. Be sure to provide appropriate context so the interviewer can follow your example and understand the difficult project and exactly what steps you took to overcome it. The difficult project is really of little importance here; the interviewer wants to hear evidence of your ability to persevere, seek out resources, and problem solve. Be specific about the steps you took and the decisions you made to overcome your difficult project thoughtfully.
