20. TIPS: Use the same supporting documents for more than 1 award, but CUSTOMIZE your statement. Provide 10 days notice for a reference to write a letter (& give them a “Brag Sheet”) Use a table composed in Word or Excel for your activity sheet:

22. A GOOD STATEMENT INCLUDES REFLECTION - NOT JUST WHAT YOU HAVE DONE, BUT HOW IT HAS AFFECTED YOU. - WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM YOUR EXPERIENCES & ACHIEVEMENTS? - HOW HAVE YOU OVERCOME A CHALLENGE? http://you.ubc.ca/how-to-apply/ubcs-online-application/#profile

23. MANY APPLICATIONS ASK THE SAME GENERAL QUESTION - ONE STRONG ESSAY IS A TEMPLATE TO USE FOR OTHERS (COMMUNITY WORK CHALLENGES LEADERSHIP) HOOK THE READER WITH YOUR INTRODUCTION WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED? HOW WILL YOU CONTINUE? BREAK THE TOPIC DOWN INTO EASY-TO-ANSWER COMPONENTS EDIT! AND HAVE OTHERS EDIT FOR YOU
