<p>I would not call it a sob story, actually it seems to be a life experience which is demonstrating responsibility and dedication at an early age. What you perceive as setbacks could be a very strong attribute if presented in the correct fashion.</p>
<p>Also, do not forget Boy Scouts. Eagle counts alot as well as becoming a Snr Patrol Leader.</p>
<p>In all I think you have a stronger development going on than most applicants.</p>
