My D likes a lot of things, and she has truly enjoyed many of them, but I don’t think she has what I would consider a “passion.” S, on the other hand, truly has a passion. Interestingly, it was easier for D to fill out college apps because she had a variety of interests that led to a variety of activities. S has a true interest that is not a mainstream type of EC … he spends lots of time on something that doesn’t translate well on college apps. He writes, plays, and records metal music … colleges will either appreciate his honesty in explaining how he spends his time or they won’t!
