elaborate on one of your activities (150 words) What are you writing about?

I was wondering what topics you guys all wrote about on your CA for the short answer question

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

I don't know what to write about... or how to write about it.
Like what are we to say about the activity?

Do we just write about what we did?

Example:"When i was in track I had to run everyday for 4 hours and stuff... etc"

Do we write about how it affected us

Example: "Being in the UN club allowed me to open myself up to new people and ideas."

Why we did it?

Example: "I joined the chess club because I'm passionate for it. I love logic and the assurance that there can be a right or wrong way.."

Please and thank you!

i think you should write about what you did and your personal gain from the experience and how you will continue with that activity in college and beyond

I think I'll write about my art.

IDK, what are you guys or gals writing about?

Here is what I wrote about art:

"The earliest memory I have of drawing and enjoying it was in the 4th grade. I was reading a comic like book called. I was in love with draws, the depiction of the female vampires (one of the main characters) and attempted to do it myself. It was terrible, so I traced it instead. After tracing it, I drew over it and made my own version of her. Now that I think back, the drawing was terrible, but that's where it all began! Art as allowed me to express myself in ways that would otherwise be impossible. I am able to 'show' people what I see and feel. Having tried many forms of art through the courses my high school offers and on through my own experimenting, I've discovered my passion for photography, sculpture and ceramics. I'm proud of everything I've accomplished with my art like having had it displayed in the Semi-Annual every year and such. I hope to continue in college what began so many years ago."

What's this!?


This adds some nice energy to the essay. I was about to ask you, "that's where WHAT all began," but I see that you answered this question immediately after you raised it. This paragraph is cohesive and pleasant to read, so you are off to a good start! Is photography involved with your intended major? It might be nice to connect this to your intended major at the end.
