Confused about Hobbies

Hi friends. I was wondering if anyone would share/DM their written hobby experience(s). I completely understand if not. Any advice would be great too. I'm not trying to appear lazy and I know someone's thinking "if you're passionate about it just write from your heart this should be easy!" My whole app is very professionally worded but my hobby is performing music for my church and homeless shelters... so I am nervous about how to word things. SDN threads have me worried about presentation lol. Appreciate any help

Also, is taking care of and adventuring with my dog a worthwhile hobby?

Is this for a secondary essay? I think that it would be a great idea to include your passion for performing music in the hobby section. Same goes for going on adventures with your dog.

The point of this question is to see that you are a well-rounded, personable person. Personally, I also included spending time with my dog as a hobby I enjoyed. Other hobbies I shared include sports, the piano, and reading. Just be genuine in this section. Don't try to put what you think they "want" to hear. As long as it is a genuine passion and appropriate, then you will be fine.

**Keep in mind, if you get an interview invite, you may be asked to speak about hobbies you listed (AKA definitely DO NOT lie).

Thank you for your input! It is for a "Hobby" entry under the AMCAS primary application.

Also, I'd try to approach the "having a dog thing" as a "hiking/running/exercising with my dog" because that's when I decompress from stress with her the most. I think people have advised that saying having a pet is like listing you have a child or you complete your daily chores. I definitely want to avoid that... does my angle sound alright?

Please elaborate as to why you think this is a problem.
