Question: Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences in the space below (150 words or fewer)
I feel that being a member of the local soccer team since I started grade school has benefited me greatly. Soccer, or football as it is called here, has taught me many valuable skills, ones that I can use in everyday life situations.
As part of a soccer team, I have learned that you need to go through a lot of work and effort with your teammates in order to successfully achieve good results. You can discover how to support your colleagues as well as receive support and encouragement from them.
During my ten-year career as a soccer player I have experienced both accomplishment and hardship, and have enjoyed it all. Not much is comparable to the feelings that follow after out-playing an opponent and winning a match, but nothing tastes better than coming back from a loss and reclaiming glory with your team!
I will always remember that after performing badly in the season three years ago, we rose up from the ashes and won the following year. From this I have learned that even though times can be tough, if you work hard and never give up, you can reach your goals.
