Income: <$27,000 QuestBridge...
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: White
Hooks: First generation, Low income? Overcoming huge adversity?
Work Experience: 23 hours a week during the school year, 43 hours per week over the summer
What I use this money for: I realized that my school doesn't have AP courses, etc... so I saved money to take classes at the local college, including gas, insurance, textbooks, courses, etc...I help with bills around the house..</p>
<p>Extracurriculars (Grade, hours):
Leo Club (10,11,12, 1 hour per week), SADD (10,11,12, 1 hour per week), Robotics (12, 6 hours per week+), Mentoring(11,12, 6 hours per week), STEM Club (12, 2 hours per week), Tutoring (10,11,12, 4 hours per week)
I take most pride in mentoring because I am making a huge difference in the way younger students view their education.
Volunteering: Hospital (12, 5 hours per week)
Reason for lack of involvement: There are not many clubs at my school, Robotics is new, my Dad used drugs and we lived too far from the school in 10th and 11th grade. I did not have a car until August!</p>
<p>Extenuating circumstances: Mom and Dad were heroin addicts, I spent my life moving at least once a year, living in campers, trailer parks, etc. I went to foster care, then my mom got us back, my step dad abused me, my brother started using drugs and went homeless, my dad continued using drugs and i lived with him. He then passed away. My mother is severely ill.
My essays reflect what I've learned from these events and how I've grown as a person, if you are wondering. </p>
