If you could only do one of the activities you have listed in the Activities section of your Common Application, which one would you keep doing? Why?
I have been playing basketball for as long as I can remember in various recreational, AAU, and CYO teams. As I dribble and shoot the basketball on court, I can take my mind off stresses of daily life, while also doing what makes me happy.
Since I was 3 years old, I have played with the same group of childhood friends 2-3 times a week. Basketball has allowed us to know each other’s tendencies on the court and connect as a team, allowing us to grow as lifelong friends. I love playing basketball, and I look forward to playing in college with a new group of lifelong friends.
