Question

Hi,
Would like to know for the 2nd essay about 'Values". Are you writing examples of recent times, I mean adulthood or quoting an example for childhood is also fine? Can anybody provide some insight - alumni, current student or applicants - what is your take on this essay?

Would also like to add a question from Essay 1 here - how ‘recent’ should the recent example of leadership be?

Generally our values are formed from experiences - and also, experience/activities that are most rewarding to you reveal your values. 
Think about something you enjoy, where you are in the zone, and what value is embedded in that. I think it's OK to use a childhood example only if you can show how that experience shaped you into who you are today, and give the reader a good sense of how that value shows up in your current day life.  mavericky

Values is not something that is linked to your recency of experience - on the other hand, values is something you have picked up over time.

The trick with answering the values question is to triangulate three pieces of information - 
Values that you have learnt from family, improved over time with experience (work, personal, education, life)
Values that are as unique to yourself as possible and as core to you as possible
Values aligned to the school values, mission and vision (you have to research the school mission and purposes and that will help you identify which values make sense)

Hope this helps,

Everybody has a different concept of values ​​and this is normal. 
The topic is interesting, I would like to read more examples of work about this

I haven't written a work on this topic, but it may be worth thinking about it since the topics that were close to me have exhausted themselves. I recently wrote a paper on healthy nutrition. A very interesting topic for me, but due to lack of knowledge, I had to ask for help from the service that I found on 
I ordered, thank you
