Can you put a taking care of a hospice family member on applications?
I haven't did a passion project and I'm in the summer before my senior year, I have an idea (maybe) on one but it's too late to show time commitment and stuff like that on it right? That's what I was told. But my mother got extremely sick last year and was on hospice for almost half of my junior year. As the hospice working only came once a week, I was her my main caretaker along with my uncle. I'm about to start volunteering at a hospital, but was wondering if I could put hospice on an application? Would that have the benefit of a passion project? Or what can I do now in place of a passion project?
