I guess I should use a more detailed title this time lol. The prompt is: In the space provided below, please elaborate on one of your activities (extracurricular, personal activities, or work experience). So here's my short answer, it's about Ultimate Frisbee, my favorite sport:
Draft 1:
Legs pumping, arms swinging, eyes set on that spinning disc slicing through the air. I reach into the sky to snatch the Frisbee from the tips my opponent's fingers. The disc leaves my hand and soars through the air as my blocker fails to block my pass. I'm off sprinting to the end zone. With adrenaline rushing and my heartbeat in my ear, I feel the familiar touch of the disc in my hand as I enter the end zone. Victory. Ultimate Frisbee releases the competitive beast awaiting inside me. I anxiously wait on the goal line with the opposing team on the other side of the field. The disc is thrown and I leave behind my old self as I tear down the field to meet my mark. Win or lose, the perfect plays and the defensive blocks reward me with the ultimate satisfaction, knowing I can do anything.
Draft 2:
Legs pumping, arms swinging, eyes set on that spinning disc slicing through the air. I reach into the sky to snatch the Frisbee from the tips my opponent's fingers. The disc leaves my hand and soars through the air as my blocker fails to block my pass. I'm off sprinting to the end zone. With adrenaline rushing and my heartbeat in my ear, I feel the familiar touch of the disc in my hand as I enter the end zone. Victory. Ultimate Frisbee releases the competitive beast awaiting inside me. It reveals another side of me that nobody knows Competing with others helps me unwind. Striving to be the better player, I use my pent up energy to push myself to run faster and jump higher. I love Ultimate Frisbee because win or lose, the perfect plays and the defensive blocks reward me with the ultimate satisfaction.
I feel like the first draft is too much of a story and doesn't tell enough about my love of Ultimate Frisbee? What do you guys think?
