Could you please send the list?
Hey here you go 😇
I used what I call the 6-bucket framework, a structure to help you balance depth, levity, and storytelling:
1. Memorable experiences - things that make the reader
pause and say, "Wait, what?"
2. Personal struggles - not for drama, but for insight into
who you are underneath it all.
3. Helping others - Fuqua values Decency Quotient (DQ)
- your instinct to support others matters.
4. Funny or quirky stuff - those "you had to be there" stories that make you human.
5. Influential people or relationships - who helped shape
your worldview.
6. Habits, obsessions, or pet peeves - insisting on eating Maggi with a fork and a spoon because "that's how it tastes best."
The golden rule?
Every item should be memorable, funny, helpful, or vulnerable. Ideally, more than one.
All the best!
