<p>I didn't use bullet points for the summers essay, but it was short and not very descriptive, not to mention that my summers really aren't all that eventful.</p>
<hr>
<p>2005:
I spent a long and lazy summer in Sweden catching up with friends and relatives, repainting my grandmother’s house on the small island in the south where my mother spent her summers as a child, learning to drive a boat, fishing mackerel (pre-veganism), reading, painting, writing, and relaxing on the sun-warmed granite along the west coast where my father grew up.</p>
<p>2006:
I spent the first month in DC, working for 40 hours per week as a riding instructor at my stables’ summer camp and volunteering for 15 hours per week at Georgetown University Hospital. Afterwards, I traveled to Sweden and spent the rest of the summer in a fashion similar to the previous one.</p>
<hr>
<p>I actually think that was a huge mistake, because there are so many experiences and anecdotes I could've used to describe that second summer that I didn't mention elsewhere in my application... it was an important, in some ways lifechanging summer for me, and I really didn't convey that in the description.</p>
