Describe a workplace, community service, travel, or extracurricular activity that you participated in over time. Then tell us a story that shows what you learned in that setting and your learning process. How do you see that learning experience contributing to your student life at the University of Oklahoma?

I have been involved with the AVID college preparatory program for 5 years. I joined in eighth grade and knew from the first day of class I knew that the program and people in it were a perfect fit for me. Through AVID, I have learned the importance of community service, challenging myself with a rigorous schedule, staying organized and being a part of a family. Through the years, I have added so many helpful skills to my life from AVID, which have helped me tremendously through school. I keep my binder organized at all times and I take Cornell Notes for every subject being this method of note-taking has proven to enhance my study skills. In addition to all the educational benefits, AVID selected me to attend the Leadership Retreat. A two night, three day stay at a camp ground that only two students from each grade level and school in the district attend each year. I learned what it's like to be a true leader in the community and how to be a positive influence for the people around me. My years of involvement with AVID took me from a shy, pre-teen student into a selfless and committed young adult. I am willing to commit myself to leadership on the University of Oklahoma campus and promise my connection with the university will continue past my college years. I want to be a part of the Sooner family and know that I can always call it home.

Wow your essay impressed me. Actually, it's a nice piece of work, and your experiences are attractive. However, I do think that you can write more about how those experiences have influenced you and what you will bring to the University of Oklahoma, which may add more personal feelings to your narration of the activity. Anyway, you've done a great job! Best of luck!
