The key is to connect something personal from your background or experiences to qualities that would make you thrive during the insight scheme. Think of it as: Experience -> Perspective Gained -> How it helps you thrive at FieldfisherYou could break your response down into:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Personal Experience: A moment or background detail that shaped you - maybe balancing work and study, being a first-generation student, living abroad, or leading a uni project. There isn't necessarily a specific 'type' of experience that this has to be, so long as it is personal and important to you.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Perspective Gained: What did the experience teach you (e.g. resilience, curiosity, empathy, adaptability, etc). This is where you want to showcase self-awareness and reflection, and you should try to highlight skills or traits that are valued at Fieldfisher.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Support for Success: Link these traits to how you'll use them at Fieldfisher (e.g. building relationships, handling complex work, learning quickly, or contributing to a collaborative environment). Think about what would be expected of you as a trainee, and show an understanding of how you would handle these expectations with your skillset.</li> </ul>I would keep your answer personal and reflective - one focused story told clearly and in depth will read stronger than trying to cover everything.You've got this! As it is only 800 characters, I would focus on clarity and direct links between your story, your perspective, and your potential success.Best of luck with your application <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
