<p>I’m not trying to be a vet. It’s just biology research nowadays is mainly on animals.</p>

<p>Being Head Boy is a massive EC, I elaborated in my common app. I do a lot of fundraising, events organizing, speech giving etc.</p>

<p>A lot of my EC’s are sports, I just realized this :(. I’m just quite sporty and stuff I suppose. I’m not super good I just play a lot haha and I’m no way applying for athletic.</p>
