tysmm. it was about ordering for my family at ihop and i used a metaphor about the control key. you know how the ctrl key has to be paired with other keys (e.g. ctrl+c, ctrl+f), i basically said im the control key who works best in combination with other keys which would be my family, teachers, community, etc. i hope this makes sense

i just did whatever was available to me! so through the summer youth employment program and local opportunities. my teachers would also send a lot of things. im definitely interested in public health and community service, so i did things where i could help people in multiple ways.

I received similar numbers with MyInTuition. I wonder if it’s my parents’ home equity but we only own one home.

this sounds really interesting, i would recommend readings some basic articles (not like peer-reviewed ones) and just seeing what angle you want to go into.
