This writing prompt asks you to consider your own communities and how they have shaped and empowered you for this new journey, as well as how being a part of the community of Blazers may prepare you for the future.
Think for a few minutes about a community that has influenced how you imagine yourself and your future (a class at school, an athletic team, a service or faith organization, a family, a circle of friends – anything!). Write a 450-500 word essay that explores how this community had a positive impact on you and how you might use your UAB education to give back to the communities around you.
Since your essay shares a story, you should use the first person (“I”) to narrate your experience.
Your essay can be slightly shorter or longer than the word count.
There is no research or outside sources necessary to write this essay, as your answer should come from your own experience and perspective.
