Think about what you do when you're done with school work. During the summer -- when you're at play and not participating in a scheduled activity like sports or dance classes -- is when you're free to be yourself. Think about the things you do during those times, and talk about that. Don't be ashamed to admit your devotion to collecting action figures or taking long solo bike rides around the block. These activities may help you realize something about yourself you've never openly discussed. What you see as playing with toys may, in fact, be a blooming passion for fiction writing or explaining new games to your friends may show developing teaching skills.
Some students eyes light up at the sight of a shiny electric guitar while others may feel compelled to learn everything they can about ancient Egypt. If you're not sure what subjects interest you, ask a parent to take you to the library and explore the nonfiction section. The book that peaks your interest can help you better understand your passions and expose you to future career possibilities. Talk about the field you're interested in, and make sure to explain why you find it so interesting.
Taking a look at an atlas can aid in your self-discovery. Use the library or the Internet to explore different locations around the world. If there are any that excite your imagination, try to explain what about that part of the world interests you. Perhaps you have Tibetan heritage and you'd like to see from where your ancestors hail. Maybe you had a family member die in a war overseas and you'd like to see where that battle took place. Explaining this sort of personal history reveals the things you value.
If a memorable trip to a museum or a spending a day at work with a parent sticks out among your favorite memories, talk about that. It's probable the impact that special day had on you helped you grow as a person. Try to explain how you changed after that day or what that event made you realize about life or about yourself.
