<p>at what point are hooks deterimental to an application?</p>
<p>I’ve lived a weird life, and some of that includes</p>
<p>-spending the last 5 years in shanghai
-living mostly on my own since 8th grade because my mom is constantly out of country on business trip
-having my one-year-younger cousin from a rural province in china come live with me junior year and teaching her english
-having an ethnic bg of the uyghur minority group (look it up if you care…)
-attending a 6-year old school in sh with extremely limited resources
-self-studying APs my school doesn’t offer and setting up MUN and a young feminists’ club; playing a role in the creation of many other clubs</p>
<p>and…
being a contracted part-time model.</p>
<p>I haven’t been very involved with the last one, and I don’t know if I should even write it (too ditzy, see). With all this stuff, do I just end up sounding like freak? If so, which ones would be more important to H and which ones should I hide back in my closet??</p>
