Undergraduate / Eternal Happiness. A choice from the activities section of a Common Application [4]
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? (Required for all applicants. Must be under 150 words)
This is a supplement for the University of Michigan. If you could just help me edit this that would be amazing :) I have 140 words
Growing up in a culture where almost everyone is possessed by fading pleasures, such as sports, relationships, and money, eternal happiness can be hard to find sometimes. We fall so quickly into the trap of filling our lives with what society tells us will make us happy without looking at the bigger picture. While I have fallen victim many times to putting things that won't always be important to me, like dance, cheer, popularity, and grades, at the center of my life, I have found that true, consistent, and eternal happiness can only come from a relationship with God. Because of the realization that my faith is the only thing that can completely fulfill my longing for happiness, I will continue to grow as a Catholic and I will be active in the church for the rest of my life.
