[quote=Anonymous]I am a high school English teacher and read many essays each year. I think the key is to tell one specific, really interesting story about the activity. Don't let it become a recitation of awards and honors -- make it something that shows your character. Could be how you handled a tough situation, a great conversation you had, how you taught someone about the activity, etc. There are a lot of pitfalls here. It's easy to veer into cliches. I would avoid "I was bad at this at first, but I stuck with it, and now I'm good." And "I got injured, and it changed my whole outlook on life." But with the right touch, this type of essay works fine. [/quote]
