申请康奈尔大学Essay范文23：Color Guard by Rachael Ji Yoon Kim - September 19, 2007 Common Application: Please elaborate on one of your activities (extracurricular, personal activities, or work experience)(150 words or fewer). I like to play with guns and knives. It’s not what you think: I’m in color guard.

I’ve participated in this artistic and athletic manner of multi-tasking for three years, starting with flag and advancing to the weapon lines by mastering both rifle and saber. In the familiar settings of home and school, I’m your typical teenager. But at a guard show, I become a dazzling entertainer, a fluid dancer, a dexterous performer. Crimson eye-shadow fans out over my lids, and a crown of twisting locks sits proudly on my head. Brilliant lights gush over the football field, our stage. Maneuvering through lines of gleaming instruments, I roll to the ground, quickly pick up a billowing flag, and spread its silk bore me over the night sky.
