EC's ... Do what you love...?

College Essays

<p>You know how people say do activities related to what you love and show that on your essay? For example if one is really into astronomy, one could buy a telescope and observe the skies record the movement of the stars… something like that.</p>

<p>My question is, could that field of interest and what you love be intangible? In my case, I like giving speeches and debating and have luckily won several awards both within school and nationally almost annually ever since junior high. Could I write that field as what I love rather than the relatively orthodox way of having interest in a particular subject?</p>

<p>Why are you calling speech and debate “intangible”? It’s one of the oldest, most traditional extracurricular activities there are, and it’s still quite prestigious.</p>

<p>Are you simply asking if it’s OK to write that you love it? Yes. That’s ideal.</p>

<p>There doesn’t really have to be a material, tangible outcome of your activities for it to be worth anything. Rhetoric in speech & debate is among one of the most difficult things to truly master and if you have won recognition for it, then under all means say you love it.</p>
