Undergraduate / Penn State Activities Essay! Tell me if I should include more or revise it! [3]
One of my favorite activities that I enjoy most is being a part of the National Honors Society. This organization requires high academic standards, will to help, and giving back to the community. Members are required to complete a total of 35 community service hours through two years. While participating in other community service projects, I took it upon myself to prepare food for those less fortunate. I did this through my church and spent about two hours every week preparing a dish to then send to a shelter in a local town. I am also a part of the Robotics team. We compete in two events every year and must work together to build the robot. Since I am the programmer I have to communicate with the whole team on what their goal is for the robot to execute. I have been working at Bruster's Real Ice Cream for over a year. This job has taught me many valuable benefits like how to work together as a team with others, how to be compliant with customers, and how to lead. The best part about working at a place that sells ice cream is it makes people smile! They could be having a bad day but when you greet them, welcome them, and give them their ice cream it always brings a smile to their face. I also enjoy sports. I am in an intermural basketball league in the summer and winter, while also playing Ultimate Frisbee. Keeping me busy and involved brings the most joy out of me. I like challenges that require me to solve. I would love to continue doing these things during my time as a college student.
