How do you respond to "tell me a bit about yourself" professionally?

How should I spend my summer- gaining relevant experience, or gaining money to pay for college?
Hey everyone! Aspiring exotic animal veterinarian here, I'm trying to decide how to use my summer. Last summer and throughout this current school year, I've interned at a vet clinic unpaid. I've just gotten my CVA Level 1 Certification, too. Here are my two decisions- Option 1) Apply to work a paid job at the clinic I've been interning at. I'm comfortable there and pretty sure they would hire me on the spot; however, their pay for the position I would work (vet assistant) is less than nearby restaurants/retail stores, which I find crazy. On the other hand, I would be getting great experience, key to getting into vet school later on (especially since they are the only exotic animal inclusive clinic within an hour's radius of my house). But I would be sacrificing earning good money to help pay for college the next year. Option 2) Work somewhere else, with a more decent pay. I would be saving up for college better, so this would be the more financially wise option. However, I would be missing out on getting good experience having a job at an exotic veterinary clinic, especially one where people already know me and are comfortable with me, since I've interned there for about a year now. Essentially, my dilemma is this: do I go for 1) gaining important experience for vet school or 2) getting better pay to help me afford college? Thanks for any feedback or tips!!!

How can I get more Financial Aid when my FAFSA already deemed me "ineligible"?
After completing my FAFSA, I was deemed ineligible for a lot of grants. However, just looking at the number, it's easy to assume that, but it's totally wrong. My immigrant parents worked hard for the life they have now. However, no one warned them about the prices of College, therefore, there isn't any money saved for me. Every scholarship I want to apply to says I need to demonstrate "Financial need," mostly asking for a copy of my FAFSA. There, I am automatically not considered because they look at the numbers. My parents can't destroy everything they built just to send me to college. How can I get past this so I can go to ETSU? #Spring25

How do you keep believing in your long-term goals when your current GPA or academic record doesn’t reflect your effort or ambition? #Spring25
I’m currently a college student working toward a degree in Marketing and plan to transfer to a four-year university next year. I’ve had some rough semesters due to burnout and personal challenges which affected my GPA despite working hard, especially outside the classroom (internships, freelance work, content creation, etc.). I’m trying to stay focused on the bigger picture and keep building toward my career goals, but it’s hard not to feel discouraged sometimes, especially when my transcript doesn’t reflect how much I’ve grown. If you’ve ever had to bounce back from an academic setback, I’d love to know what helped you stay confident and keep moving forward.
