<p>So the title explains itself, but should I avoid writing about an activity that I only did for 1 year for my commonapp activities essay? thanks!</p>

<p>In my opinion, if you were passionate about that activity and you showed a side of you that matured through the process and how, even though you stopped after 1 year, it impact still affects you, then it can really make a powerful short response. </p>

<p>My two cents…</p>

<p>jesus christ, when did one year become not a long time?</p>

<p>I am going to write about one activity for one year. But, it is only offered when you are in a certain grade, so there is a legitimate reason for it.</p>

<p>I would still do it.</p>
