Common application activities

<p>Hey guys I was in the 'activities' section of my essay and was wondering if I should include me hosting a fundraiser party in order to raise money for the elderly? </p>

<p>I am currently getting A LOT of stick from my family for trying to write that, as they feel, charity should come with sacrifice and that colleges would see me as irresponsible. I personally feel that it shows I'm someone who can have fun and do charity work at the same time. Please give me your opinions on this matter?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot :)</p>

<p>I would put it down as “Community Service”, why wouldn’t you put it down? It’s something that you felt was important and I don’t think it would be irresponsible to put it down.</p>
