Sample Answer:

• Whenever drowning in negative thoughts, I find my rescue in songs. Mostly, I prefer listening to Punjabi and Hindi songs. However, the type majorly depends upon my mood. So, one of the songs that have special meaning for me is Kar Har Maidaan Fateh from the Sanju movie. This motivational song seeps good vibes into my mind whenever I am close to the edge and feel like giving up.

It teaches me the importance of getting up again, regardless of how many times life pushes us down to the dirt.
