<p>On the common app they have that 150 word statement thing. Anyway, I am stuck between two choices: </p>
<p>1) Softball - I have been playing softball since the age of 7 and was captain of my JV team sophomore year and i am captain of varsity softball as well as a senior. Softball is basically my life. I made my varsity team, after only pitching windmill for one year, and I led my team to the playoffs for the first time in like a decade. I adore softball and its taught me so much. I also was named Co-MVP my sophomore and junior year. Also, how I learned to be a team leader and really matured because of softball. Also, how it helped my dad and I have a great relationship. My fear is that it might not be a standout essay. </p>
<p>2) Camp - For the past two summers I've worked as a camp counselor at a camp that I had been a camper out for seven years. This summer, I worked in a program area, which I hated as a camper blah blah. I learned to like it, also my connection with the campers. I think this may be a stronger essay and show that I have many skills. Also, I feel that this one would be more concise and not as run of the mill as the softball one. </p>
<p>I am interested in playing softball in college and have already been in contact with two coaches. I am afraid that I need to really show my passion for softball. </p>
<p>Anyway, which is the better choice, btw these are the schools I would be sending it to:
1) Skidmore
2) Clark ( i don't care about this school, its an ultra safety)
3) Hampshire College
4) University of Vermont. </p>
<p>Also, my main essay, will be about going from a huge liberal middle school, to an all-girls catholic high school, whose total enrollment was equal to one grade in my middle school.</p>
<p>Any advice would greatly be appreciated!!!</p>
