"a passionate juggler" - Common App Short Answer

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

I am a passionate juggler. Much of my time is spent tossing balls and clubs into the air only to have them fall down and hit my hands again. The feeling of successfully catching all objects after a difficult trick is ineffable. Usually, I fail. More often than not, the balls will pound the floor after brushing the side of my hand. Sometimes I get angry with the balls, but then I realize I can only be angry with myself. When I juggle, I am in control; I love that feeling. Juggling has also brought me to new places. The first time I visited Kentucky was for the 2008 International Jugglers' Association Festival held in Lexington. I have traveled to Madison, Wisconsin, and Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for other festivals. In the summer of 2010, I will fly to Sparks, Nevada. There is no limit to where juggling can take me.

Thank you for the reply :)

Do you have a suggestion as to how I could improve them?
Should I replace the sentences with something talking about how often I juggle or why I juggle?

Yeah,it really fits good ;)

I have a friend who has passion to be a professional juggler, but it takes too many time to get adequate skills :)

I am a international students, I couldn't see grammatical mistakes!

good work ;)

I recently began juggling, too, and I noticed that it is very meditative. I think you could write about the crucial moments, the meditative mind, the muscle memory... and the way these apply to your intended program of study.
