Am currently doing research on pediatric diabetes at local hospital ( I am a diabetic)
Events Started:
Beaded necklaces- My mother and I make beaded necklaces, bracelets, and earrings to raise money for the Hurricane Katrina victims and medical research in diabetes, cancer, etc. It has turned out very profitable for the Key Club and has become one of the major sources of revenue for that club.
“Students Who Love”- I organized and ran this event in which toys, games, and other products were collected for the Cornell Presbyterian hospital in New York. It was a month long event and the entire school participated. In total, over 150 toys and products have been collected and will be delivered to the Institute before Christmas.</p>

<p>Also, during the end of my junior yr, my father lost his job. As a result I worked during the summer to help pay the bills, and the mortgage at a physicians clinic.
During the beginning of senior yr, my father had kidney failure and was unable to take care of himself. As a result, I have been taking care of him by taking him for dialysis etc.</p>

<p>the answer is to just apply. Do everything you can to improve yourself in the meantime. These threads should really be "what can i do better". For this I would say study hard for your SATs, make it clear any hardships you are going through, and cross your fingers.</p>
