<p>Last year, my school was flooded during a bad tropical storm. I was out of school for a month, and I helped my community and my friends get back on their feet. Should I include that in my essay?
I know that I might be a very weak candidate for Spelman, but I have to try. This is my dream school. Any advice or suggestions for me? Please be nice, but real. Thanks :)</p>
