Entry 34: My Activity

Practice writing a mini-essay about your extra-curricular activity. Tell what it is, why you do it, and what benefits you derive from it. Try to include how it is something that makes you an attractive candidate for university admissions. Remember, the purpose of your college application essays is to sell yourself.
Limit yourself to 150 words.

• The extra-curricular activity that I enjoy the most is dancing. Sometimes dancing is an official extra-curricular activity, but other times it's just a pastime. Both dancing by myself and performing in front of others gives me a feeling of satisfaction of releasing and expressing myself. I am not limited to the usual rigid regulations of reality, and I get to practice my confidence on stage as well as in front of crowds and audiences. Dancing also helps me practice my self-discipline, since performing on stage is not something one can do well with one or two days of practice. By setting a well-defined goal, I can work hard and prove to myself and others that I can do something without the help of others and without the pressing of others.
