Has there been some significant positive change in the circumstances of your life since the beginning of the semester, which has given you a boost since it occurred? "Circumstances" means facts about your life.

For example, you may have joined a rewarding new group, club, or sports team, decided on a major or career direction which makes it clear what to focus on, or taken on some other important new project or goal in your life.
