[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would play up the sewing, because it's different and memorable. If he can tie it to his family circumstances, great. It does not need to connect with his major. The problem with focusing entirely on his family circumstances is that other kids will have much "better" (worse, tougher) stories. "I'm poor for my rich neighborhood" is not, by itself, compelling.
