@mom2collegekids That sucks about the first generation, I always thought it was pretty helpful because it seems to be considered a “hook” on CC, at least I know now. Russia is a genuine passion of mine, and I know for sure one teacher is going to write about that in his recs, because I always talk about it to him, however I am unsure what to do for ECs. I do MUN, and I was going to start a European club, but I’m worried colleges will view that as racist. I read a lot about Russia everyday, I just am unsure how to make this passion appear on paper. Any suggestions?
