<p>i have plenty leigit ECs, like editor in chief for the school paper, MUN, varsity tennis and 250+ service hours. i was filling out my list and had one space left.. would it be okay to include family responsibilities? i can stretch out my service work (right now it's crammed into one) and also include cross country (didn't really enjoy it). for the positions held i wrote "part-time babysitter for sisters, full-time dish-doer, lawn-mower-operator and weekend cook." too much?</p>
<p>too much.</p>
<p>You also don’t have to use every line, but add Cross County if you fill every line should be filled.</p>
<p>Don’t include it. Most teenagers applying to college hold some or all of those responsibilities anyway. It may come across as whiney if you include it. Adding cross country would be a much better decision, even if you didn’t really like it.</p>
<p>eh. i thought it would add some humour. thanks;)</p>
<p>I’d include it all with an explanation such as parents work weekends/nights.</p>
