I work for a blind lawyer who requires assistance in setting up and using technology for disabled workers. It is a part-time job with varied hours, so I don't know if I'd call it a real job on an app.</p>
<p>Experiences:
Moved at the end of Freshman year to an affluent area from an area filled with hate crime. We moved due to the lack of safety at my high school and almost getting beat up and offered drugs.</p>
<p>I have seen poverty at several levels upon visiting my family in Mexico several times throughout the year, and we have helped our family through several things requiring financial assistance, including supporting my Grandma with Alzheimer disease. </p>
<p>Talents and priorities in life:
Enjoy playing piano (specifically musical soundtracks) and singing.
I am very religious and make it a huge part of my life.
I balance my studying with visiting my family in Mexico and SAFELY partying for special occasions because they are also important to me.</p>
<p>Please let me know if the admissions officers will give me a chance, because I feel like I'm not the average IVY applicant so it might hurt me</p>
