<p>I went to the Dominican Republic for 10 days this past summer.
How do I add this to my activities list?</p>
<p>This is what I have so far:
Activity Type: Other club/activity
Position/Leadership: Dominican Republic Missionary
Participation Grade Levels: 12
Timing of Participation: Break
Hours Spent per Week: (This is where I get confused. I spend 24 hours/day for 10 days-- how should I write this?)
Weeks Spent per Year: (Again, confusing. I put 1.5)
Details: Helped with a new church in Consuelo, taught English classes to the Spanish-speaking children, worked on the construction of their new school</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>I’d change the hours/day to something reasonable - no more than 12 to 14. You had to eat and sleep, after all. And if the form doesn’t accept 1.5 weeks, just put two. And it’s not confusing - it was an intensive, one-time activity. Whoever reads it will understand that.</p>
<p>What does “helped with new church” mean? Did you help build it? I’d rewrite your description as follows, without any articles (a, the, their):</p>
<p>Help build new church in Consuelo, taught English classes to Spanish-speaking children, worked on construction of new school.</p>
<p>And if you actually helped with construction of both a church and a school, you could combine those, which would leave you space to say something else, if you want to.</p>
