<p>i'll read it.</p>

<p>Since it's only limited to 150 words, it should be a nice concise("short and sweet") summary of your activity. I'd recommend not listing the awards and experiences - basically all the boring facts - in this short paragraph since they will all be listed on your resume anyway. For those who are not writing their long essay about their EC, it's a good/only opportunity to truly show their passion in their activity with their own VOICE. Sure, it couldn't hurt to be creative, but I'm not really sure what you mean by that - If you feel like you want another advice, I'll take a look.</p>

<p>Never waste an opportunity to reveal "who" you are. They ask for most meaningful...they want to know why and how it is meaningful.</p>

<p>I'll read it. Just pm me.</p>

<p>sure please PM!</p>

<p>Sure, PM me :)</p>
