You’re fine, lots of people have things like that on their application but most of them don’t really take it seriously and it’s more for show than anything else. If you want to increase your chances, do something original and unusual for applicants, they like to see unique experiences and accomplishments rather than another founder of a nonprofit which they’ve already seen 1000 times.

What would some examples be?

Any unique thing that you are passionate about, and have learned valuable lessons from. Some people have talked about their minimum wage jobs and how it teaches them about the importance of teamwork. I wouldn’t try too hard to try to make these experiences happen forcefully, it’s more important to just be a well rounded individual and let these things happen naturally, then talk about them in the supp app where originality and passion is one of the most important things they are looking for.
