Undergraduate / "NIKE Baseball Camp at Jackals Stadium" - Baseball Camp [3]

Elaborate on An Extracurricular Activity or work experience 150 words.

During my time as a camp counselor in the summer at the NIKE Baseball Camp at Jackals Stadium, I learned about dealing with small children from the ages of six to fifteen years old. As a camp counselor, my main job was to instruct the game of baseball to the children, but sometimes I found that babysitter was a better title for my position. During my time at the camp, I provided water for the kids, picked up trash when they would leave it laying everywhere, break up fights, hold valuable possessions and even play a doctor's role in the brief absence of the camp director. In brief, I had many little tasks to accomplish while at camp that maybe prepared me for some future role. I have learned strategies to deal with children and to keep my composure in the oddest of situations in my time at camp.

Any advice or thoughts would be great

Undergraduate / Baseball - Giving Back to the Club (Critique needed) Common App [4]

150 Word Elaboration on An Extracurricular Activity. Any advice would be great!!!

Baseball is a huge part of my life and thanks to the Montclair Baseball Club, I have not only built baseball skills, but strong character as well. Having played in the club for so long, I felt it was only right to give back and volunteer to help with their many activities. Over the years many annual events are held in the name of the club, and I find that they now call on me as a reliable source for support. As my participation increased, so did the responsibility that was left in my hands. I have gone from being an occasional helper to having the responsibilities of an assistant coach. Whether it be working the players during tryouts or helping children with special needs in the annual Challenger Game, I am always keeping busy by helping those who made me the player and person I am today.

Glad to hear anything. Thanks
