Reflection
I had another job that was abusive to me so I quit. I also raised two siblings practically on my own(talked about in the supplement) due to my mother having a hard time with my father dying. My test scores are so low because work and my siblings took a lot of time. My mom made 45000 last year, but has only made 6000 this year because she lost her job when her boss retired. I work for most the money. Before you ask, no I do not sleep.
General Comments: I REALLY want to change my environment and get onto a campus to make sure I get into a position to help others get out of the situation I’m in now. I DREAM about Stanford, please be brutally honest. just anxious at this point
