  If I were you, I would make the language a little punchier and more specific. Like for the first one, maybe say some thing like "As a child, I was held back in Kindergarten because I struggled to count. On July 15, 2018, I pass my last CPA accounting exam. Things change."

  I think "things change" is take it or leave it, first thing I thought of haha, but I do think in general it's nice to include detailed and to not write in a passive tense.

  With the fun facts section, you want them to learn something about you, about your character, about what you'd add to Columbia and how you'd interact with others as a student. So instead of just saying a fact--like that you prefer speaking Spanish over Vietnamese in work settings--tell them why that is. Ask yourself what you're trying to demonstrate to them about yourself, and then go about it from that angle.

  I would suggest some interesting hobbies for that section...interesting in the sense that it adds to your character the stuff they can't get out of the other sections of your application.
