If your are really lucky in life, you find things you like to do and you can do them.
These are your passions. The things you talk about over and over again. The things you just have to do. The things that you think spending a lot of money on is well justified.
These are things that define us unique. The added bonus about including your passions in your letter is that you already love sharing them with other people. You will find it easy to write about them as you find it easy to talk about them.
You definitely want to include the passions in your life. Tell it like it is; why you love it so much, how you got into it, what is your biggest accomplishment, what did you alway want to do – but never did. How did your passion differ from other people who were passionate about the same thing.
It could be anything from cycling to building models or from cooking to scrap booking. Revealing your passions opens a window to your soul that is shining a beautiful bright light out from your unique soul to the rest of the world. Let it shine.
