Undergraduate / Stanford short ECA Essay: Musical Passion [3]

Briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences.

When I can play a song on my guitar by heart, I no longer have to concentrate on the sheets in front of me. I immerse myself in the sounds I create, and it just becomes so easy to get lost. There're no boundaries now. I leap between dynamics, tailoring my strumming to the emotions I'm feeling.

Playing guitar allowed me into a community where the only thing that mattered was harmony, and the ability to harmonize.

There's beauty in the ability to sit down with another guitarist, and collaborate. With no prior discussion, he plays a few chords, and I catch on. I have a rhythm in my head, and it works, it works with what he's playing. We switch over, now I'm playing chords, he's on rhythm. We say nothing, speak no words, but just understand. We both love what we're doing, and it becomes hard to stop.

Any feedback is appreciated :) I'm not sure if I'm being too vague/flowery, but I wanted to convery a sense of passion.
