<p>The most recent summer activity that I did was attending my grandfather's funeral, the various ceremonies for it over a week, and helping my mom and aunt do the necessary paper work.
Is this something that they want us to list on the application?
or do they just want to hear things like... reading, camping, travelling.. etc. The happy stuff?</p>
<p>You don't have to list down every single summer... choose which ones you want MIT to know about.</p>
