This is my first post, so I’m sorry if I make any mistakes.
Seeing others so stressed makes me anxious about applying next year. I’m from California.
I’m just going to include everything. I don’t know what’s important and what isn’t.

Accomplishments-

)
-intern for a speech therapist who specializes in helping disabled children (I’ve done this for around a year) I have taught children from different backgrounds how to read, write, and speak. Giving the ability to speak to children who thought they would never be able to is the accomplishment I’m most proud of.

My freshman and sophomore years I worked 2 part time jobs. This year I work 3 part time jobs and will be taking on a 4th in may. I would be able to do better in school if I didn’t need to work. I take care of a disabled family member and work 25+ hours a week, so I don’t have a lot of time to do anything.
