This is for the common application: elaborate on one of your extracurriculars or personal experience.
When the senior class board accepted my application to be part of the 2010 prom committee, I was completely thrilled. I chose this job to create something worth remembering in high school. After a year, I realized that as secretary and events coordinator, the job was a lot more than that. With only seven people, the timing can be crazy sometimes. One moment, I'm selling food and discount cards around school; the next moment, I'm debating important issues on which venue or which DJ. The job may not be helping me become a pharmacist, but it has given me many opportunities and experiences. I can utilize my verbal skills in communicating with sponsors and caterers, and I've developed new relationships with friends and adults. These are just a few of the many positive aspects, but perhaps the most important is the honor of creating a precious moment for my class.
This is due tonight so please edit.
Thank you.
