I don't know how much of this is true, but I saw that someone said that Berkeley looks for people or considers people "who have overcome hardships".. I have a couple of things that I could write about in this category...

1) Horrible divorce from parents when I was 12
2) Father was unjustly put in jail for 1 year while he was being prosecuted for things he never did, he was found not-guilty but he had to be in jail for a year while the trial took place (Jails in El Salvador are wayyy different than here in the US, you can only imagine)
3) Overcame alcohol/chemical abuse, was in rehab for 8 months, and I've been clean for 2 years now.
