| I think the point that Northstarmom is trying to make is that if you have to spend a lot of time at home taking care of people, that is one of the issues that you bring up in either your essay or your app. If you are staying home assisting with an elderly person, or because you are required to watch your siblings on a daily basis, that is your job. If you are staying home playing video games, that is definitely not your job (unless you are a game designer). You don't have to go out and cure cancer to have a EC that is worthwhile. Just doing something consistantly and for a reason that can be specified could be your EC. |
