Undergraduate / "I love rugby" and sport - Common App Personal Essay [8]
Hi everyone, I would appreciate any comments or thoughts on the following essay:
In the space provided below, please elaborate on one of your activities (extracurricular, personal activities, or work experience)(150 words or fewer).
Rugby, the sport which I have played and loved since I was 13, has defined me as a person. It has taught me dedication, trust, and most importantly, passion. On the first day of training, I was introduced to a group of strangers, kids from different schools selected through physical grading, and told that they would be my teammates. Over the course of 6 years, we endured grueling training from our coaches, and bonded over a multitude of incidents, ranging from relationship problems to common hatred of coaches or teachers. Soon enough, I developed an intense passion for the sport. I loved every aspect of it, the feeling of someone you can trust by your side, even the pain of the injuries I nursed. It was through this initial taste I experienced that I decided that passion is my greatest motivation in life.
Thanks in advance!
