<p>Okay, so I've written the Common App Activity response, but it's so...dull. I had to cut out all the details and now it's just a summary, which is NOT good, i know.</p>

<p>it's about a community service program which i AM really passionate about, but i really don't think it comes across like that. how am i supposed to explain my passion in only 150 words? </p>

<p>anyway, i'd love for someone to critique. by someone i mean NO seniors please. seriously, i mean it. only college students and parents. </p>

<p>thank you!</p>

<p>I’m a parent of a class of 2014, but he has finished his essays. It is hard to make 150 exciting. One thing my son did was to make the intro grabbing. The rest was just basic details. If there is anything you feel compelled to add, you can do that in the additional info section of the common application. I will take a look at it if you want.</p>
