<p>"Though I don't have many extracirriculars, I am more than happy to have tennis as one of those few. I initially started tennis for college. I wanted to make my school's tennis team during my senior year because I did not have a strong extracirricular to put on the college applications. However, I stayed with tennis because I developed a love for it. Even though I did not make the team, I could not let the sport go. It taught and still teaches me many skills I will use in life such as thinking on my feet, developing concentration, and not giving up until the very end. But I think the most valuable thing tennis has given me or rather helped me regain is the feeling of doing what I want and loving what I do, a feeling that had been missing in me for far too long"</p>
<p>USE SPELLCHECK. I’m guessing this is for the 150-word short-answer EC explanation, right? It seems a little…cliched. Make it original. Make it yours.</p>
<p>But this was mine…I didn’t look up any quotes or copy the writing style from anyone…it just came from the heart…i guess you can say…and spellcheck? did you find any spelling mistakes?</p>
<p>1) You did not spell “extracurriculars” correctly. Double check everything, have your parents/friend/sibling/teacher reread it.
2) The other guy is trying to tell you that there are many other people that will have tennis (or another sport) where they learned to think quickly, concentrate, and not give up. Those are three qualities of most sports. So it is quite cliched. Perhaps if you have a short anecdote, it can make it more “you”?</p>
<p>Oh okay thank you so much…I get what you guys are saying now :D</p>
<p>it is good, but highly expected and cliche. also the vocabulary could be stronger. i know it is just the extracurricular part so it doesn’t matter a lot but it did not flow well when i read it, something about the sentence structures. good luck!</p>
