<li>Contemporary dance (1st - 11th grade). It was my biggest passion... we had rehearsals 4-5 times a week, 3 hour a day and won a couple of awards locally.</li>
<li>Acting (3-11th grade), played in numerous theatrical performances, commercials, was invited to local talent agency. After that did a few voice overs and hosted a little show on local TV.
-Created my own web-design studio in 11th grade (have portfolio) that brought me quite good profit (for a kid in my country)</li>
<li>Dance teacher assistant (school) in preparing kids for different kind of events that required dancing.

</ul>
<p>Volunteering: volunteered in local library and children's home (about 100 hours)</p>
<p>Working experience: for last 3 years during my summer vacations I have been working in local night club. It was amazing time, but at the same time extremely difficult since I worked 17 hours a day 3 days in a raw, then 2 days off and all over again.</p>
<p>Do I have chance in any of these universities taking into consideration that I need fin aid? Moreover, I'm 20 y.o. now, by next fall I'll be 21, but there is an explanation for such a late start.</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
