Activities Section on App

For your EC's section, where they ask you to describe your activities, what exactly are they looking for there? They also ask for a list of awards and honors. For something like track, I have a lot of awards, and cant really fit a description of what I do in that little box in addition. Is it ok if I just list all my awards, or do they want something more descriptive. They also say they dont want a resume in lieu of answering the question, so does they dont just want you to list awards?

Sorry if this question seems trivial/nitpicky i just want to be perfectly sure. Thanks

ye i was gonna say that the space they give is actually very big, but it says only a 40 word limit. How am I supposed to say anything THat meaningful about my activity if the limit is only 40?
