Its for a program called Goverment Scholars Program (GSP) Basically during the summer its a 5 week program and they choose around 1200 students in the state. If I get accepted from my school, theres a big chance I'll get in.

There arent any solid requirements but they basically want a smart student. I have to send my PSAT and other test scores I took. Also, the classes that I've taken, my GPA, after school activities, awards/achievements. It's sorta like a college application? But alot easier

I'm addicted to playing solitaire on my iPod. Even when there's a computer at my disposal, I'd still prefer to play it on my iPod.

I don't know anyone else IRL that still plays SC, let alone follows progaming, so in that respect that's a unique hobby/pastime I have. Outside of that though I can't think of anything that would be unique among everyone here.

You mean a unique thing everyone does? Or for each of us something unique we do?

i think you can write down starcraft.
it's a game, but it's really more than a game. it has the biggest progaming scene which no other game can even compare with..it's totally different.

I think that you can put down StarCraft too, but you really have to show them that it's more than just a simple game. And you'd have to sound really convincing, articulate, and passionate too, because there's a chance the person reading it might turn out to be some old, skeptical guy thinking you're BSing due to a complete lack of SC knowledge. It's not as farfetched as expecting to get good results by simply writing about a random, generic video game, but you'll need to make it special if you go with it. Imo.

Edit: Grammar. =(

Starcraft would be really hard to articulate well. Harder than photography, or athletics, or anything else.

Since you're actually passionate about it though, it might be easier for you to write than some random bs about a different hobby.

If you do decide to write about sc, look at some of the entries for the cj shirt contest for inspiration.
