Hi!
I already posted a few months back but seeing that decisions come out next week I am EXTREMELY nervous, and would love the feedback!!!
Bio
-Female
-From Mass
-First in family to attend college
-Mixed: African American w/ White
-Raised by a single mother with no financial support from my father, so I have a lot of financial need
Essay Topic
I wrote about how I was raised by a single mother, and how I developed all the traits my mom showed throughout the year, and how it has allowed me to be more responsible and prepared for the real world/reality.
