Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences in the space below (150 words or fewer, 1000 character maximum).
Here's what I have come up with so far. I don't think I was able to provide enough details/examples, but it is currently 168 words.
I once read a t-shirt which read "I can't, I'm Mormon". I laughed as I read, thinking they couldn't be further from the truth. I may never see an r-rated movie and my Sundays and much of my free time may be consumed, but because of my being a Mormon I am now able to water-ski, speak in public, prepare a speech of the cuff, sing (well, to an extent), play the cello, and lead a group of my peers. Religion may not seem like an "extracurricular activity", but my church has allowed me to participate in more activities and volunteer work than if I were to join every club my high school has to offer. I doubt I would be able to do any of these things were it not for my church. Not only has being a Mormon expanded my opportunities to try new things and serve others, it has made me realize how much I can learn and do if I am willing to try.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated particularly regarding the topic and ways i can shorten it a little.
