<p>Could anybody please give me some examples of the activities- Family Responsibility and Religious Activities? </p>
<p>If you are obliged to take your grandfather to physical therapy for 2 hours every day, that’s a family responsibility worth noting. If your particular religious beliefs require you spend an hour at your temple every day, that’s a religious activity worth noting. Schools understand that if a student isn’t playing a sport or joining a bunch of clubs, it doesn’t always mean you’re playing X-box instead.</p>
<p>@WasatchWriter I used to take care of my brother while my mom was busy with my sister (she had to accompany her to school and other classes). Is that worth noting? And in terms of religious activities, should I declare that I want to carry out such an activity in college as well? Some colleges might not have the required setting for me to carry out a religious activity. Taking that into account, if I say that I don’t want to carry out that activity further, will they judge me as to whether I am actually devoted to my religion or not? Quite confused to be honest :/</p>
<p>Taking care of your brother might be worth mentioning if it limited the time available to do extracurricular activities or affected your academics. It’s also the kind of thing your guidance counselor can bring up so that you don’t sound like you’re complaining.</p>
<p>Unless you are applying to a school with a big religious affiliation, or one that enthusiastically supports your faith and the activity, I don’t think you need to discuss the future of your religious activity at all. A school might be concerned about commitment, but I doubt they would distinguish religious commitment from other kinds. And they certainly wouldn’t judge you in a moral way.</p>
<p>@WasatchWriter thanks a lot :-)</p>
