Need suggestions
What matters most to me and Why ?
I have been thinking a lot about it and am a bit confused on what exactly is required.
Do they want ONE specific thing which matters the most or can it be a set of values and beliefs which matter the most to me.
Also at different times of live it has been different values and things which have motivated me and we are always eveloving as a person. So do I try and force myself to think more and see one common thread among all those activities or is it fine to portray a set of things which matteres the most to me in past and talk about what drives me in present.

Its raining deadlines and essyas
Till few days back there was so much much time at hand to work on essays and hit round one for most of my first choice schools.
All of a sudden within last two weeks so many schools have come out with essays and now the deadlines look so close. There is a sense of urgency to get going now.
I need to keep deadlines for myself and plan it well so that I am on time and do not end up with lot of things to be done at the last moment.
1. Getting the transcripts from the Undergrad college is the first thing I need to finish.
2. Talking to recommender is the second
3. I also need to work on my resume parallely and should set a deadline for that too
4. Essays is something that will go on till the last moment, but I would have to see how I can break this also into smaller achievable milestones.
