<p>Well, here's my problem. I have to take care of my brother, so I can't do anything after school now, except maybe music. How will I be able to explain this to a selective college on my resume?</p>
<p>Oh, and, here's the EC's I already have:</p>
<p>NHS
Co-captain of Chess Club
Volunteer Work
Music
Job at New York Hall of Science.
Health Occupations Education (basically, what I do is that it's med based program where you get to work at hospitals etc)</p>
<p>Taking care of your brother IS an EC and is considered as such by the colleges. Be sure to explain this in detail on your application...how old, how many hours/week, responsibilities etc. It is the same as having an after-school job.</p>
