Undergraduate / 'Keep running' - A common application essay 100 words critique [3]
If you could only do one of the activities you have listed in the Activities section of your Common Application, which one would you keep doing? Why? (100 words)
[I would further my lifetime ambition to just keep running. I originally joined Cross-Country as a High school Sophomore simply as a means to an end, one where I would bind myself to a commitment just so I can force myself to stay fit and healthy. Now that I'm onto my third year in CC, life without it is a notion that I've long outran and left behind. I do look back sometimes, a temptation to ease up on unpleasant days lingers in me. On those days, I find solace in my teammates, their support ensuring that I remain steadfast.]
Many thanks to whoever replies, your feedback is much appreciated and I will do my best to repay this site with my own critique.
