<p>Your EC's are fine. Lots of people who go to small schools have scattered EC's, because the school only offers a certain number of clubs and teams. Working and helping support your family is a big plus in your favor. </p>
<p>Here's something you can do to help your college efforts: every time you write something, read it over a second time and try to make it as accurate as possible. Look up words you don't know. Grammar and spelling are learned through repetition. Your teachers will be impressed, and so will college admissions counselors and future bosses.</p>
<p>Keep working as hard as you can at school. The goal is to make your dreams a little more realistic, and to make your reality a path to those dreams.</p>
