<p>(sorry if similar questions have been asked before)</p>

<p>Hi...</p>

<p>So this summer, I participated in a 2-week program abroad. It was basically teaching English to kids in China.</p>

<p>I was wondering if this qualified as an EC because it's not really a continuous thing that's affiliated directly with school like sports or music. </p>

<p>My other question is closely related, I guess. Is it a good idea to write about this for the Extracurricular Short Answer? I think I can do a pretty good job with it because it really was a great experience. However, another part of me is thinking that I should maybe go with something that I've participated consistently in for 2 or 3 years.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>eh…to me it seems like that whole “I went to Africa to help starving kids”</p>

<p>dunno if u really liked it i guess go with it since it is a community service type thing = /</p>
