In the space provided below, please elaborate on one of your activities. (extracurricular, personal activities, or work experience)(150 words or fewer).

Having worked at the hospital for almost two years has helped me prepare for the real world at least in terms of a job. I go to the Women's Unit once a week for four hour shifts. I have to rely on myself to get there on time and if I do show up late I have to make up for the time by staying later. There are the usual tasks that I have to do on my own. I clean the cribs, ask all the moms if they need anything, discharge the patients, make the charts that the nurses use later for the admitted mothers to be, and basically just attend to the nurses for anything that needs to be done. I've rather enjoyed doing all the work that needs to be done, because by doing all the menial tasks has brought me to the realization of hopefully becoming a doctor in the future.

does it answer the prompt fully?

yup, it does answer the question.
you describe your activities and how they have impacted you and what they demand of you. but as a reader i would like to know how doing menial tasks (a negative thing) has brought you to the realization of hopefully becoming a future doctor.
