My contribution for ten years Common app short essay [3]
Hi,
Thank you so much for your comment. I will write about my activity. From grade1 to grade12, I cleaned some public places at school mainly my classroom. The content was to swab and sweep the floor, brush a toilet bowl, and so on. Every time, I got dirty and had to endure the bad smell of toilet. I did'nt change what I did in the work. It was almost the same for ten years. However, case by case, I changed it. Whan it was a field day, I picked up garbage after that. When it was a field trip, I collected everyone's garbege. At first it was such a boring activity that nobody wanted to do. But different from most students, I started to feel refreshed after cleaning or collecting garbages. Clean room was so confortable that made me want to do it again. It was pleasure for me to see somewhere cleaned.When I was grade 1, I was required to do the work at school by my homeroom teacher, but after that, I did the work spontaneously without anyone's instruction with some of my classmates. What made me encourage to do so was the teacher's explanation I wrote above. Even in junior and senior high school, I continued the work. It took just 10 minutes. I did it two weeks per month every schooldays.
I do not know why, but this activity somehow became a part of my life. What I gained was the confidence that I could continue something in such a long span. In addition a sense of contribution to other students came to me because I kept some ,though not all, part of school clean, reducing the possibility of students to be sick and absent from school.
How do you think I can organiza the essay?
