<p>Hmm… 11 on actual project day, 2 for meeting with housing director (organization person), 3 for logistics, 1 for recruiting volunteers, 2 for getting supplies, 2 for pre-project setup. Also, a handful of shorter things, like getting council approval, copying waivers, etc.</p>
<p>Also, in response to your question directed at MITChris, I didn’t have a hook at all. I think its been brought up before, but top schools (well, at least this is what they tell touring people) look for either “well-rounded” or “well-focused” kids. Hooks fall under well-focused, usually. So no hook, then you better be well rounded.</p>
