Undergraduate / Education Interruption (common app, NOT an essay) feedback? [2]
This is NOT my essay, but I don't know what writing style they want. So I just did it as simple as possible. Thoughts?
"My Education interruption was due to changing high schools 3 times.
For my freshman year of high school, I went to a boarding school, [school] , in [town] for a year. In order to go to this school, I skipped 8th grade and went into ninth grade. The school was also a working farm and had wilderness training as a part of their curriculum. I loved this school and what its program had to offer.
For my sophomore year, I decided to stay closer to home. I attended [school] , a small independent school dedicated to environmental science and the arts in [town]. I felt at home with their enthusiastic, knowledgeable staff, the weekly field studies, and the interning program.
For my junior year, my father retired from his job and decided to pursue a career in nursing. He moved the family from Northern Virginia to the Hampton Roads area. I attended [school] . This was quite a big switch, going from a small student population to a 2,000 student population, private to public, and non-accredited to accredited. But I still excelled. I plan on graduating [school] Spring of 2013. "
