Undergraduate / "playing my saxophone" - elaborate one of your extracurrifular activities [3]
it is for common app #1.
1.Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences in the space below (150 words or fewer).
When I learned that I could not play in the band due to the class hour conflict in the beginning of my junior year, it came as a shock to me. As my classes had gotten much harder, I had little spare time to practice saxophone. Band class was going to be (the) almost the only way that I could ever play. However, such obstacles were not able to keep me away from playing my saxophone. I managed to set aside some spare time to practice, even if that meant less sleep for me. I went on my own time to get score sheets and advice from the band director. As a result, I participated in most of the band's concerts as a first chair alto saxophone. As I practiced to play in the concerts, I realized that even though circumstances can be hostile, determination can help you overcome those circumstances.
