Think about a time when you lost an important competition (sporting event, academic debate or competition, video game). After you think about a time when you lost, write about this time. Explain how and why you lost. What was at stake--a championship, money, pride, respect? Explain how this lost made you feel. Did you feel responsible? Did you blame someone else for the loss--a bad call, a fellow teammate, a coach?

Be as specific as possible and tell the story from a retrospective approach. This means that you are looking back on the event after it has happened and reflecting on the outcome and your response to the outcome.
