Undergraduate / MIT Essay - Tell us about something you do simply for the pleasure of it. (100 words) [5]

Hi guys, thank you for your feedback. Let me address a few of your concerns -

My intended major is biomedical engineering so investing has nothing to do with my major. I truly do invest just for the pleasure of it. I love the adrenaline rush that comes with it and the potential to make money.

Can I rework the essay to still do investing? Or else, can I talk about tennis, or the drums?

Investing represents me

EPS estimates, P/E Ratio, IPOs, DRIP funds.

It all just seems like a bunch of letters. But when I began to trade stocks, I found myself captivated by a world unto itself. Ever since starting at the age of 15, I have enjoyed investing because it serves as a pragmatic application of the mathematics and statistics knowledge and research skills learned in school. The stock market drives me to gather information and utilize it where the stakes are real and high.

Averaging downs. Betas. Candlestick Patterns.

Investing represents me - my everlasting hunger for knowledge and my motivation to succeed.
