<p>Your EC's look to be just sided towards the academic or community service side. Any sports? I see where you taught soccer but did you play varsity soccer?</p>

<p>I played soccer more as a hobby than a professional sport. I'm not a professional athelete.</p>

<p>that doesn't mean you can't play varsity soccer</p>
