I am from the working class in my country. At 14, I worked with the worker Union . My main focus was human exploitation in sweatshops. I used to distribute news paper,set up conferences,workshops and do literacy courses workers could read their rights in the country's contstitution I was not into politics at all, I just did it because my family suffered since my mother who worked in a sweatshop never gets paid for over hours. She also miss important events in our lives because at the last mns her boss would make her stay to do extra work. In my college application, I would like to mention my accomplishment with the UNION but its name in English is the Orgnaisation of the communist workers. Will the school look down at me because I once work as a volunteer with the Union? What would an American college will think when they see that one of their applicants were member of a "communist organization". The leaders of the Union are just a group of peaceful public and private school teachers. You can't imagine how shcok I was when I found out about the communist tag.

In my language there's no communist in the organisation's name. That's what confused me. Even it had it, at 14 I didn't know America's perception of communist,. I am currently attending a US college( I am 20 now) PLease give me your advice. In addition to that, the UNION was the only organization that was helping poor workers, and it provided them lawyers when they had to go to court with their boss.
Thanks
