Wow you have a great chance. Overall a great candidate. If you could chance me in return that would be helpful. Have you talked to any of the soccer coaches? That's a useful hook, and it may bump you up if you contact them.

yeah that is a little creepy haha

i could and should do a lot more volunteer work, and that is one of goals during this summer to give back to the community that given me so much. regardless of how important for colleges that shouldn't matter it should be about the joy and happiness that comes with helping people in need and making their day or life better

If it helps at all I'm also applying for FA, which I didn't mention because I thought xAAAx would see past that. Never mind hopefully things will wind down now. Thanks Blue

@ Blue Raven
the trip to brazil was really special it was the culmination of all the hard work that me and friends put into it. ill be honest, they did a lot more of the work than me but going to different soccer clubs and teams asking for thier help was something. and after all it is about making those less formulate than any of us. the poverty in brazil in horrible happy, and if nothing else making a child feel happy for even a just moment thats why people do it.

Well candidate, I'm clearly abnormal in a sense that you don't understand. Deal with it. I never meant to insult anyone, but I will not take your attacks at me and let them slide past. Aš nežinau kodėl jūs manote, kad esate geresnis už kitus žmones, nes galite įžeisti mane. Jus ne taip puikiai save.
