| Well, there are two places of interest that I have in terms of extra curriculars. Music (I've played the drums and guitar for about 5 years now - discovered my passion for music when I was about 12) and I'm also actively involved in charity work. However, this is just one charity organization. I'm going to be appointed head of the charity group at school next year, and will also have the opportunity to go to Africa for a month to help build an orphanage. It's something I'm passionate about, and I've also had a lot of first hand experience witnessing and helping in some of the poorer areas of India. Perhaps it would be something to write about in an essay?
Would it be risky to cut down to only these two ECs (although I am also eager to join the student council)? Also, there's nothing particular that distinguishes my passion for music from others because I haven't won any awards (haven't really had any opportunities), but would be really anxious to perform wherever and whenever possible. Have you any suggestions for what I could do?
BTW, Princeton isn't the only university I'm interested in. I'm an international student, so I haven't visited any of the universities. But I wanted to ask here because the topic of ECs had been raised. |
