Personal Statement576 WordsChallenged a belief, Creative personal story, Development of personal values, Extracurricular passion, Leadership experienceWhen I was in the tenth grade, my family and I began going to multi-family group therapy for my sister, who had been struggling with substance abuse.

Since I began attending my current school in tenth grade, I’ve been enrolled in a film class. The classes are typically made up of students from different backgrounds, grade levels, and friend groups.

What I’d change about my application process201 WordsFor this answer to make sense, I'll briefly outline my application process.
