<p>when colleges ask how long you've been doin an ec, like playing a sport or an instrument, and have been doing it for a considerable amount of time, like playin an instrument since age 4 or 5, or a sport since 4 or 5, do u write that uve been playing/doin it that long or do u only count high school years?</p>
<p>cuz then the only other way to show uve been doin it for a long time is in an essay</p>
