Help! common app essay question!!

<p>so, what exactly should you write for the part of the common application that asks you to elaborate on one of your activities or your job?
i am ready to submit my app but i realized i still havent written that part and im kind of in a panic. should you get creative? tell a story? or just plainly tell them about an activity and why you loved it? i was planning on writing about how my job at the gap has allowed me to meet people from all walks of life/cultures...is this bad?</p>

<p>You can do any of those things, nothing is bad unless you write poorly.</p>
