Hey, this is my short answer respoonse (max. 150 words, I have 145) to the common app's prompt.
Please review!
Prompt: In the space provided below, please elaborate on one of your activities (extracurricular, personal activities, or work experience)
Playing the cello is my most challenging, but most rewarding personal activity. I practice anywhere from thirty minutes to three hours a day, not only because I want to improve my technical skills, but because I love its rich tones and full sounds. Behind my notes are raw emotions that only music can divinely express; no other action can do them justice. For every emotion there is a piece or at least a passage to envoke it. In times of joy, I call upon the light tumbling of notes in Haydn's Concerto No.1 in C. In times of gloom, I'll draw out the slow, decaying waves of the Sarabande of Bach's Cello Suite No.3. With music, there is no thought that cannot be expressed. Whether I'm playing a melancholy or a lighthearted passage, the cello never fails to satisfy me with its beautiful voice.
Thanks!
