-Extra curricular, extra achievements you’re proud of, positions of responsibility that you hold or have held both in and out of school, and attributes that make you interesting, special or unique. (mention community service, sports, academic clubs, and summer programs). You should give a brief explanation of the activities you are involved in and how you benefit from them. Do they improve your key skills for law? If so, how? Again you should write not only what you've done in these activities, but also what you've gained from them.
