Hello,
I am applying for a congressional nomination, and they ask me for an essay of 300 words on a challenge I have faced. I was wondering just how current the challenge needs to be. The biggest thing that happened to me was when I was in 2nd grade. For the short story, my parents had me attend a new school in a different country that I did not speak the language of. I had to learn the language from zero and still develop, and keep my grades up. It was surely a defining moment for me, but I fear it may be too long ago, or that it is not really pertinent to what they are looking for as it was about 10 years ago. Please let me know what you think about this!!!
