<p>@emeraldkity4: It’s great that your kids were able to work their interests into something that can help other people (and animals!). But I seriously haven’t been able to put my interests into anything of the sort. I’m really interested in reading about current events and politics, but pseudo-intellectual slackers who also enjoy doing that are a dime a dozen, I swear. I suppose that if colleges do really look at these things, I’d like help in knowing how to present it.</p>
