Focus on showing not telling. Encompassing the unflattering aspect in a story, instead of simply describing what you did.
Also, you must end the story at the unflattering admission (think Orwell's Shooting an Elephant essay).
"I often wondered whether any of the others grasped that I had done it solely to avoid looking a fool" (227).
Also, the story must have taken place during your high school years.
buena suerte
