Extracurricular Experience

Describe the activities you have participated in. These might include sports, ASB, clubs, theater,
church groups, or other organized activities outside of regular school hours.
The activity I have done is and I am still doing is school Tennis.

On average, how many hours do you dedicate to your extracurricular life each week or month?
On average I spend 2 hours practicing this sport after school and I do it every day except
for Wednesdays, the weekends, and when it rains. I do it from the mids of February all the
way to the end of April.

Have you enjoyed your extracurricular experiences so far? Why or why not?
I have enjoyed it and I still enjoy it very much because each day its something new, and I
get to go out of my social circle and talk to more people than I probably haven’t talked to
before. Plus it distresses me because it’s just really fun to play.

What kinds of soft skills, academic skills, and/or specialized training have you needed to use to
participate fully in these experiences?
I have practiced responsibility because I have to take care of my racket or lock the gate
after practice if I stay longer. It helps me keep my grades up at least to a 3.5 GPA which is
B’s and A’s so that I could play all season and it helps me stay motivated every day.

How might these skills be used in a career or college environment?

Well, responsibility is used in every job that you do because you need to be on time, or you
might have to close up the store/ restaurant. Keeping good grades and playing a sport looks
good on our transcript and it can get us into a new college. Last staying motivated can be
actually doing work and staying focused.

What have learned about yourself so far by participating in extracurricular activities?

I never knew that I would enjoy this sport or that I would be good at it but I proved myself
wrong because I really enjoy along with the people who play and its taught me to be a little
more social.
