Undergraduate / Common app short essay- acapella group "Einheit" [2]
this is an common application short essay I need your help to revise!
1.please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences in the space below.
"Einheit" which means "togetherness", or "united" in German is an acappella group that I participated as a president for the group during the freshman year. While I sang in this ensemble, I am attracted by one idea which a cappella has: staying in balance and harmony while each one keeps one's individual voice. Each part sang for their own key and rhythm, but the "a cappella" is finally completed when every part is combined for their melodies, timings and rhythms into one performance. I love the collaboration of many people who has characteristic voices.
The other point I am fascinated about is that we sang in German and with international students from Germany. There were pleasant moments to interact with people from different culture and learn both their language and customs through singing together. It seemed hard to reconcile people who have manifold voices, tones, personalities, and even nationalities. However singing as a "united" group, Einheit, we became one.
