The "hacking the system" question on the application was probably the hardest one for me. While nothing just sticks out in my mind of hacking something I would say that I do and accomplish what most people can't do on a daily basis. In dealing with people; a smile always helps, the right attitude and disposition can start a movement, and looking at things from a "how could I fail?" point of view ALWAYS changes the rules of what a so called deal breaker is. example: When I applied to college in 1999 I was accepted right away however my parents made entirely too much money for me to get adequate loans and grant money. So I used my graduation money from HS and had my parents to pack up all must stuff and drive me down to the financial aid office(425 miles away). After a bit of sincere "asking" and explaining the situation I was in. VIOLA!!! Money started raining on my college dream. Saying all that to say I was a good looking kid, with a personality you had to see (because writing does not convey everything), and had I not been determined to have them tell me no to my face I would have never attended that school. Did I hack anything? By no means...did I use what I had to have the circumstances in my favor? Absolutely!
