Any help/critique would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance=]
MIST, otherwise known as Muslim InterScholastic Tournament, consists of over 50 competitions in a range of categories. Upon first seeing this term on a flier at the start of my freshman year, I could only assume it referred to a light drizzle of water, like that of a rainy day. Not having prior experience in an academic tournament, I was hesitant about joining-fearing that I would only humiliate myself in front of hundreds of intellectuals. Nevertheless, I took a leap of courage and signed up on the Maryland regional team. Along the way, I managed to surprise myself. I tried new things, won various trophies, and became an active participant-recruiting many other members. From the intense debate tournaments and fashion design judging to the hilarious nature of improvisational acting, MIST has broadened the spectrum of my capabilities and allowed me to do more than I thought possible. Through MIST I found my voice, and met many amazing people; my freshman year risk was well worth it.
