Sample Answer 1

I shared a new and innovative recipe for a vegan dessert I had come up with. I shared it with a group of food enthusiasts and friends who were interested in plant-based cooking.

I shared the recipe because I wanted to introduce a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional desserts. I was excited about the flavors and textures I had developed and believed that sharing it with others could inspire them to explore plant-based cooking and discover new tastes.

I felt a sense of anticipation and enthusiasm about sharing my creation with others. I was eager to see their reactions and hear their feedback on the recipe. Knowing that my idea could potentially contribute to someone's culinary experience and dietary choices brought a sense of fulfillment. While I didn't have personal emotions, the act of sharing something innovative and potentially beneficial would likely bring a positive and gratifying feeling.

Sample Answer 2

I recently shared a personal story with some of my closest friends. I shared with them my experience of being a student in a new country. Growing up in a different culture, I was faced with a lot of challenges and adjustments to make. I shared these experiences with my friends because I wanted them to have a better understanding of the obstacles that I faced and how I overcame them. 

I shared with my friends how I had to learn a new language, adapt to a different culture, and how I struggled to make friends initially. I also shared the moments of joy and success that I experienced throughout the process. I wanted to give my friends insight into the struggles and successes that I faced, so that they could be inspired by it.

Sharing my story with my friends made me feel very vulnerable and exposed. However, it also gave me a sense of relief and joy. I felt like I was able to connect to my friends on a deeper level and that I was able to form a stronger bond with them. I also felt proud of my story and my experiences. Sharing my story was an incredibly rewarding experience.
