Describe a time you needed to use imagination.

You should say:

  • What the situation was

  • Why you needed to use imagination

  • What the difficulties were

  • And explain how you felt about it


I’d like to recount an experience that truly stretched my imagination. It was during a high-stakes Innovation Challenge Contest I participated in last year. This contest is a global affair, open to both undergraduates and postgraduates, drawing attention from over 30,000 participants each year. It’s a fiercely competitive environment, and the pressure to stand out was immense.

The challenge required us to develop a groundbreaking, internet-based solution aimed at promoting education and economic empowerment worldwide. To shine in such a crowded field, we had to think outside the box and come up with something truly innovative. My team and I had to buckle down and engage in extensive brainstorming sessions, which involved rethinking and refining our ideas until we arrived at a concept we felt was worth presenting.

The process wasn’t without its hurdles. We faced numerous obstacles, such as limited resources and tight deadlines. At times, it felt like we were hitting a brick wall, struggling to make any meaningful progress. Every step forward seemed to be met with another setback, and the roadblocks were relentless.

Despite these difficulties, the entire experience was exhilarating. Each small victory, from overcoming a problem to refining our idea, brought a profound sense of accomplishment. The moment we were announced as the runner-up was particularly gratifying, considering the scale of the competition and the effort we had put in.

Looking back, I felt an overwhelming sense of pride and satisfaction. The contest not only pushed me to stretch the limits of my imagination but also reinforced the importance of perseverance and creative problem-solving. It was a memorable journey that underscored the power of innovation and creativity, leaving me with valuable lessons and a sense of achievement.
