University of Illinois Essay
Topic: In an essay of 300 words or less, choose one extracurricular activity, work experience, or community service project from the list you provided on the application and explain why you initially chose it, why you continued with it, and how you benefited from it.

I am applying to the business school and my activity I chose is working at a movie theater.

Please only ask for it if you are going to critique it.
