Prompt: Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences in the space below (1000 character maximum).
Here is my essay:
After playing flute for the school band for two year, I decided to pick up something new and that was when I joined Guitar Ensemble. Through the two years in the ensemble, not only did I hone my guitar skills and performed 6 public concert, but also teach me the value of servant leadership. As a member of the executive committee, I was responsible for the safe-keeping of 80 guitars, each worths $800, and this taught me how to organize things and communicate with members in the most efficient way. Being in a 200-people community, I learnt how to make new friends and appreciate talents of others and indeed, this helped me to make many friends and made my duty as a leader much easier. In the preparation for the public concert Esperanza 2012, I volunteered myself to design posters and make a promotional video, the results were overwhelming. Therefore, I learnt that I have to make the best use of talents and should never hesitate to volunteer myself.
Feel free to point out any mistakes or provide some suggestions.
Thank you guys!
