<p>I help out in my parents’ restaurant after school just about everyday. Due to this, I can’t be heavily involved in ECs. Do you think colleges would understand?</p>
<p>I help out in my parents’ restaurant after school just about everyday = heavily involved in EC.</p>
<p>That’s the definition of being heavily involved in an EC</p>
<p>Oh, thanks. I thought being heavily involved in ECs would only be entitled to clubs that are offered from the school.</p>
<p>That a job that is also a family obligation and takes a large amount of your time, so you list that and they understand what you are doing with your time outside of school.</p>
<p>Working in your parents’ restaurant is something to be quite proud of and, in my book, is a lot more impressive than participating in an after school club.</p>
