<p>I will, for the next two years, be in charge of a saxophone quintet/ensemble that will travel and do free shows to support a [currently unnamed] cancer foundation. Until I receive a cancer foundation to work for, the donated money will go towards the music program at my school where we’re in a $40,000 budget crisis…</p>
<p>As far as service goes, I’m not part of anything HUGE [other than my saxophone quintet], but I will end up with over 1000 hours of service. </p>
<p>–Miscellaneous Info–</p>
<p>I think I’d like to go to business school. I’m still completely undecided. I know my leadership skills may help with that.</p>
<p>So I have the sax ensemble and drum major which makes certain things impossible. Taking care of my grandmother with Alzheimer’s Disease also makes things interesting. She’s been living with us since I was 2, and since I was able to, I’ve been feeding her and helping her with basic life tasks (brushing teeth, making her breakfast/dinner/etc.). My dad has to take care of her during the day, and therefore is self/un-employed.</p>
<p>I know I’m missing a lot of stuff, and I feel like I’m lacking in certain areas. Any suggestions advice?</p>
<p>Also, I don’t remember who, but I stole the set-up of this from someone else, so thanks for that! </p>
<p>This is my first little qualifications list like this, so thanks for reading it!</p>
<p>Edit: I’d really like to get a scholarship. How much money could I expect? I’m new to this. Been reading up on CC.com to get info. I’m an incoming Junior so I’d better be prepared!</p>
Thanks for your help!</p>
