Elaborate on one of your activities (my new school Southwestern Academy)

When I first came to the U.S, all the extracurricular activities that my new school Southwestern Academy offered were unfamiliar to me. One of the reasons was that I had never been in a boarding school before. Since I am a curious person, I decided to join to as many activities as I could and because I completed all the requirements I was able to do so. This decision turned out to be one of the best decisions that I made during my staying in Southwestern Academy because even though these activities were time consuming, they did not just offer me a great experience, but also more privileges than to regular boarding students.
