Singing - Stanford: briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work

I can feel my heart pounding in my chest as I stand in the darkness. My nerves are getting to me as the fear of being rejected again rises, but I am determined to not let anything stop me and my body is re-stabilised by my gathered confidence. The only barrier standing between me and my first moment to shine is a mere 2-inch curtain.

After a deep breath, I close my eyes and before I know it I am ten years old again in the school's music room with my piano teacher. She instructs me to play the tune again, but I am hypnotised by the singing in the room next door. Singing. Right then, with a burning passion, singing becomes everything I want to do.

Since then, nothing could come between me and my singing. Nothing except for a mere 2-inch curtain.

I like it- you really draw the reader into the scenario, like they're right there with your

but there's not much reflection in this. what did you learn from this activity- how to be nervous?

I agree with the above person in that it draws the reader in. I have the same feelings as well, in that I think you should talk more about maybe the benefits you have gotten from singing. Was it something you did to relax? have fun? Did you ever participate in a talent show or anything like that?
