Use The Bridge Chart to brainstorm what you have done in the past that reveals who you are today and who are going to be, in college community and in life. And again, to get started, list everything—not only the things you talk about all the time, and not just your Superhero moments, but times when you worked through challenges, times when you learned or grew or made a difference. Try to brainstorm at least 5 things for each box.
