Briefly describe a time you faced a challenge that forced you to grow, or a time you set a goal you were determined to achieve. What encouraged or motivated you to carry on?

This will be very unique to a specific person. I'll give you an example that pertains to me.

Explanation:

A challenged that I faced was applying for the Las Vegas Fire and rescue (Fire Department) recruitment. This encouraged me to grow because I had to buckle down and be responsible to pass the recruitment test. I had to set asside fun and goofing around. I also had to work out very hard and be physically fit to lift 200 lbs over my head with ease. So I worked hard and was able to pass with high scores. What really motivated me was my girlfri.end. I understand that she'll still love me even if I didn't pass but I didn't want to go to her as a failiure. She was also there to encourage me to do well. She motivated me to carry on when things started getting tough and I started to doubt myself.      

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
